Alas, bad new sets in yet again.....

With my folks in the shape that they are in which is not good for either one of them, we are just about done with the transformation of their real property (A 2 year endeavor. NEVER BURDEN YOUR CHILDREN WITH YOUR MAJOR PERSONAL MATTERS, CLEAN IT UP BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS!).

This endeavor has drained us completely in every way, and of course after just getting over my knee injury last month, all of the toil has taken it's toll.

Additionally, I'm scheduled for a diagnostic procedure for May 10 and I will need that week for recovery. It's the only time I have left from work as I have spent the rest re-couping from the knee deal.

So, in short, Moab is a bust for us this year. It's been a hard choice to make but 2 years ago I found out the hard way what it was like to ignore what was knocking on the other side of the door and I'm still paying for it so, I've decided to not put off certain things. We're so heartbroken to have gone so far into the year with plans and dreams of see everyone, but..... I'm amiss for words...

All I can say is NEXT YEAR! and hope a Colorado trip here and there as well!
