CU is on Fall Break so I decided it would be a good time to go home for a few days as I've been feeling a little homesick lately. After dropping my friend off in Littleton I got back on the highway. As I came over the hill near Santa Fe, I saw the big Highlands Ranch sign that sits on the top of the hill marking the start of Highlands Ranch. For some reason seeing that sign made me instantly feel so happy and I finally realized that I really do miss home.
I don't really know what's going on with me because things are going very well and I've met lots of wonderful people in Boulder, but I still have periods where I feel very sad and like there is something missing in my life. I don't have it rough at all, infact I'm under much better circumstances than a lot of people so I feel ashamed whenever I feel sad, but I can't figure out where these feelings are coming from.
Anyway... As I drove up Maximus Drive into Acres Green, I was shocked at the devastation of the trees in my neighborhood wrought by the snowstorm that came through. I couldn't believe that so much snow fell a few miles away when we got nothing but rain in Boulder. It was really sad to see trees that have been standing as long as I've lived in my house splintered and broken. I know that new trees will grow in their place but it still was an unbelievable site. I can't imagine what it must have been like for the people who lost everything to Katrina or Rita....
Hope everyone has a great Fall Break!
