The cats are alive and well. The house survived the storms and is generally still in one piece (apart from a few gross piles of hairball vomit and one chewed up oven mitt). The suitcases are unpacked. We are surrounded by piles of stinky washing. But there is nothing better than the feeling of climbing into your own bed after two weeks of being on the dusty road, cramped up, sleeping in a camper van!! (Albeit a wickedly amazing campervan)
This was our ‘cosy’ home for the last two weeks – AKA Trippy.
Home sweet home feels great right now!!
Our 2200 mile road trip is sadly over and I have much catching up to do. Apparently a lot happens in 2 weeks when one has stepped away from the internet and phones!
I am absolutely stoked to be back blogging again after my long 2 week break. I have had a lot of thoughts running around my head because, well, I have had a lot of time to think! Most days we were hiking somewhere, occasionally in the ‘wilderness’, so there was plenty of opportunity to go off into my thoughts in the deep, dark, corners of my brain…and of course there was also ample opportunity for Chris and I to talk about some of the deeper and meaningful things in life.
There was the odd occasion when it was just the two of us for miles alone.
So with all that time ‘alone’, I have some future blog posts in mind I will be writing over the next few weeks…
1. A discovery – How far Chris and I are both willing to go with fertility treatment
2. The future size of our family
3. Pregnancy and Infant loss awareness month & the wave of light (I missed the wave on the 15th October as we were camped out somewhere in the desert, but Chris and I had a long discussion about it) 😦
4. Recognising the signs and symptoms of depression
5. What are we gambling? (inspired by our stay in Las Vegas!)
Our grand total winnings from the Ultimate Poker Table – 2 x Half Dollar Coins
6. An introduction to Dib Dab – our traveling cat
Dib Dab at Bryce Canyon
Dib Dab at Mesa Verde
Our holiday was just what the doctor ordered (Well not what my doctor ordered, who actually wanted me back at home for weekly beta blood tests!! Ha!).
Tomorrow I am back in the thick of work, as well as hopefully my last beta blood test (fingers crossed it is 0 now) 🙂 Also there is some catching up to do on reading some other wonderful blogs! I’m hoping to read some good news !!!
The Great Pudding Club Hunt 
I’m glad you enjoyed your few weeks away! It sounds like you had quite the trip, both with the sights and he self-discovery. Your photos look amazing and Dib Dab the travelling at is pretty darn cute . I’m looking forward to all your upcoming posts and hoping your beta is finally 0.
