Goodbyes

This past week I said goodbye to a few of my favorite coworkers who were leaving for bigger and better things (what's bigger and better than Colorado? Joke family, joke ;)

Some of the best nurses around ;)

Amber and Courtney were two of our best nurses and the funniest girls- sad to say goodbye to them!

Then, last week, my friend Kim dropped the bomb on me that she's moving back to Ohio. So, ONLY because she is moving, I agreed to go camping for the second time this year. We camped in Estes Park for a night (long enough!). When I arrived the girls were working on making the fire for dinner. It took about 10 attempts and at least a half hour to get it started because it rained earlier in the day. I suggested we just drive into town and get Taco Bell or something, but apparently that's not how camping goes =) Reason number 52 I don't like camping- I don't like relying on our skills or lack thereof to eat.
 It was cold at night, but lucky for us, we had a two person tent and three girls, so we stayed warm because we were basically on top of each other haha. I got the pleasure of the middle of the tent to stay cozy, but, Kim had a thick mattress pad that took up half the tent, and the other half was the ground. Since I was in the middle, the left side of me was propped up on the mattress pad and the other was on the ground. Not very comfortable. I kept telling myself "It's just one night, you can do this". The things I do to be a fun girl ;)

We hiked to Bible Point in the YMCA of the Rockies.

Kim, Ashley and me. You are supposed to write a letter to God and then place it in the mailbox. A group of kids were working on their letter and one little boy kept saying "Write Philippines 4:13! Philippines 4:13!" I thought it was so cute that he called it Philippines instead of Philippians. At least he knew his Bible- kinda ;)

Nothing better than spending time with friends, Jesus, sunshine and mountains.
