Yesterday we got back from a weekend tip to visit with Brady's friend from Utah, Davey, who flew out to meet us in Broomfield, Colorado, where Brady's parents are living. It was a fun trip. We took the cog train near Colorado Springs to the top of Pike's Peak, which is 14,150 feet high. It was a lot more fun for me than hiking to the top. I am not a fan of hiking up. They had a little gift store and treat shop at the top to escape the negative two degree weather outside. I had chocolate donuts and hot chocolate. On the ride down I started to feel nauseous, but managed to hold down the hot chocolate climbing back up my throat until I got of the train and hid behind a big dumpster. Unfortunately, for the rest of the outing I had to wear a portion of my stomach contents on the bottom of my pant legs from the splash. We also visited the Garden of the Gods which was extremely cool and free. I couldn't believe the guy who was free climbing the rocks! So dangerous! It was a fun trip weekender. I always have a great time with Brady's family.
Sadly this will be short because I'm tired, but I haven't blogged forever so I thought even a little one would be okay. We have been in Wyoming for about a week now and I am loving having my own house. I have so much room!!!! We showed up just in time for a flood (and I thought Iowa storms were bad!). I think the flood was on friday? I really haven't been keeping track of time. Anyways, because I parked my car near the gutter the backseat flooded with water. It is still drying out. No damage to the house though so I'm am feeling way blessed. My car is old and beat up anyway. Oh and then the water main in the road in front of my house busted because the support underneath it was washed away by the flood... so we had more water. No damage to my belongings this time.It has been all very exciting! When I am not busy playing crisis handler I have been helping Brady study for boards. He takes them Monday and has been studying so hard. Pray for him!
