Five years, oil on canvas

When E and I decided to move back to Texas, it was one of the hardest things we'd ever had to do. Second only perhaps to moving away in the first place. When we moved, we'd been in Colorado for five years, and in that time made some pretty amazing friends. Our family is in Texas, but we'd managed to cultivate a pretty fantastic surrogate family up there too.

When we finally moved back, we were thrilled to be near family again, but there were definitely things about Colorado that we missed. I'm pretty sure the family knew this, because as a housewarming present, my dad and T gave us a piece of art done by T's uncle - Jerry McWilliams (he's great!). This particular painting is of Wolf Creek Pass in the fall. The frame we ordered for it finally came in, and now we can enjoy a little piece of Colorado even here in the Big D.
