August Randoms

I can't believe summer is almost over. And my brother is getting married in a few short weeks. My my my how time flies ;)

So. August. Lots of working. Lots of learning. Lots of crying. Lots of choosing joy. Lots of thankfulness for the friendships the Lord has given me.

Echo Lake on the way up to Mt. Evan's

Last week my friend Pants (aka Cassondra-don't ask about her nickname;) and I went up to the mountains to drive on the highest paved road in America. Mt Evan's is a 14'er that you can drive up. It's ideal, really. You get the beautiful views without having to hike. Definitely a place I will take future visitors. Also a really beautiful lake on the way up. P.S. future visitors need to visit in the summer- there is so much fun stuff to do!

I had a great weekend at work. I helped with a kiddo who had a spinal fusion, and holy moly, just being in that room and seeing how much pain he was in made my back hurt all night. Maybe God is finally giving me that gift of empathy I've been asking for? haha. It was nice being able to give him and his family a pep talk that it will get better- props to my parents for enduring that awful week in the hospital (and the weeks after, too=)

Erin and I went to a Rockies game today, and afterward Casting Crowns performed. The Rockies are owned by Christians and have quite a few players that are Christians, so it was awesome hearing their testimonies and praising Jesus with thousands of people. (Side note- Erin and I didn't even watch the game-we were wayyyyy too entertained with the little girls shaking their booty's in front of us and the old man that stood up just to pick a wedgy. Are we immature or what? I do know that the Rockies won though and I can name alot of their players! I've never been to so many baseball games in my life.)

I think that's it! Til next time.......
