This breaking news just in!!

Mark and MeLissa will be coming to Colorado in a matter of weeks! Prepare yourselves for the thrill of a lifetime!

We're very excited to let you all know that we'll be gracing MeLissa's home state beginning June 20 and continuing through June 27. We're hoping we'll be able to visit as many of our friends and family members as we possibly can. One slight logistical problem is that we need a/some volunteer(s) to fetch us from the airport (Colo. Springs) on Tuesday June 20 in the morning and keep us occupied until MeLissa's brother Christopher (the Navy recruiter) comes and picks us to shuttle us to his house in Canon City where we'll be spending most of our nights. Friends in Pueblo - your time has come! :)

Anyone who is willing to visit us in Pueblo, we'd really appreciate it. We're hoping to do as little driving as possible to avoid putting tons of miles on Christopher's car. We'd love it if we could get a big bunch of you together for a potluck or an ice cream social on Saturday the 24th in Canon (or in Pueblo or Colorado Springs if someone would like to volunteer their backyard or suggest a good park or other location) - anybody game for an impromptu and fun gathering? If so, let us know (and Jenny, you and Craig are invited if you're interested just FYI) so we can work out logisitics. We're okay with multiple gatherings if that works out better, but let's space them out shall we? Oh, and lest you feel slighted dear Denver and further north friends, we could probably be talked into a Sunday afternoon "thing" if you'd like to help MeLissa work out details for a gathering of your own. :)

For those who can't make it to one of our little "group meetings," we're going to see what we can do about making visits in Colorado Springs and Denver (probably somewhere near Park Meadows) and possibly even Lamar (we're really hoping to talk the parents in to coming to see us to avoid that driving thing). Whatever our final plans, we're looking forward to seeing you all (or as many of you as we can) very soon! Stay tuned for updates...
