Best day ever!

Me and my roomie Erin before she left for her mission trip to the DR!


At North Cheyenne Falls. Absolutely gorgeous!


Doesn't it look like we were photo-shopped in?

Garden of the God's

There were a few rock climbers at Garden of the God's....and I'm immature and thought it was hilarious they had to wear these things around them. One little boy was learning how to rock climb and he kept saying "This hurts my crotch!!" haha. Once again, I'm immature.

At the Garden of the God's.
So after sending desperate texts, emails, phone calls to all my friends here in Denver (all three of them=) letting them know that my roomie was gone for a week and I needed someone to hang out with over the weekend, my friend Amy was kind enough to hang out with me all day Saturday and it was such a GREAT day! Thanks girl for taking time out of your busy schedule to show me Colorado Springs! Amy moved out here about a year ago all by herself and now teaches lil kiddos on a military base, and she's like the sweetest girl ever. I didn't really know her at Calvin, but I knew her older sister, Staci (who is also amaaazing!) Amy and I keep wondering how we never knew each other at Calvin, cuz we really like hanging out together!

Anyway, she showed me around Colorado Springs.....we went to the Focus on the Family headquarters and got to see the Adventures in Odyssey set-up...it's like a museum. If I had kids, I would take them everyday, cuz it's free and they have tons of activities to do (hint hint, Stacy!=) Then we went to the North Cheyenne Waterfall. We had to walk up soooo many stairs. Once again, my out of shape-ness was very apparent haha. I didn't get any pics of the waterfall, but just some of the views. Then we went to the Garden of the God's. It's basically a bunch of crazy red rocks that are pretty cool to look at (I'm sure there is a much better way to explain them =) The whole day I just kept thanking God that I was able to hang out with Amy and see His awesome creation! Welp, tomorrow I start work. Yikes!

How about I send my kids out there and you can take them to Adventures in Odyssey every day. :) The crotch story is pretty funny too. :)
