The Adventures of Emmie, Katie and Steph

Last weekend, my best friend/former roomate from college and her awesome sister came and visited for a fun filled weekend. To say I have been immensely blessed by Emily's friendship is an understatement, and it has been an added bonus to get to know Katie..she's one of the funnest people I know. 
We spent alot of time walking downtown, eating out, drinking wine, watching scary movies (funny story- when I mentored my 10 year old girl, she told me her favorite movie was Paranormal Activity 2....I knew it was a scary movie and refused to see it....long story short, Katie got me hooked on them while she was out here, and while they are scary as all get out, I can't wait to see the third one! And I can't believe my 10 year old was allowed to watch that movie-yikes!). We also saw the mountains and just enjoyed spending time together. It was so fun showing them my "town" and seeing how much they loved it, but I definitely realized this weekend that while it is fun that I'm out here, it's way more fun when you have good friends to share it with. I suppose that's how it is with anything in life, yah? Anyway, a great time had by all and I hope they come back soon!

We went to Estes Park for a day to hike and enjoy God's creation. It's also where we took the majority of our pictures, so don't mind the same outfits =)

They invented this "sister" pose for pictures. Longs Peak is in the background.

Driving along the US's highest paved road. It was COLD, but Katie's hair is awesome.

At the Rio, one of my favorite Mexican restaurants  that serves wonderful margaritas!

In other news, it has been absolutely gorgeous here the past week. Fall colors are everywhere and it has been in the 70's...just perfect. But Wednesday it's going to snow 3-6 inches. Awesome.
