Vacations Part 1

Holy moly, it has been awhile since I last posted. I suppose that's mostly due to the fact that I don't have much to post about, but let's rewind a month and I'll catch up.
My friend from Calvin, Jill, came to Denver for an impromptu visit and it was AWESOME. Jill is one of those friends that you can just be yourself with- you don't need to try to impress her or fill every waking moment doing awesome things, which is something I appreciate so much. She was always our mama-bear in college: always looking out for others and would drop everything when someone is in need. I think pretty highly of her =) 
Anyway, while she was here, we were able to relax, watch movies, play games on her iPad, go to  a Rockies game with our other college friend, Joe, and hike in Estes. I was so refreshed by the time with her. She came during a really difficult week for me, one of my patients had passed away, and unfortunately our time got cut short one night because of his funeral, but she was super gracious about it and it was good for me to get closure on his death, even though it sucked big time (holy run-on sentence haha). Now the fun part- pictures!

A mini-Calvin reunion at the Rockies game

It was a little cold and snowy on the trail, but gorgeous scenery!

I fell in the snow. No big deal that my foot and leg were soaking wet the rest of the time.

For real?! Mills Lake in Estes Park. I just love the water reflecting the mountains and sky.

Picture perfect!

Jill fell in the snow as well. Good comic relief while we were slipping all over the place.

 

 

I sure do live in a beautiful state!
