Just Colorado things

Sometimes all you need to do is drop everything and head to Colorado!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lol, a couple of weeks ago we were all just talking about our fall break and Ally mentioned she lived in Colorado!! We jokingly talked about all of us going home with her on fall break...little did we know we would actually follow through with it! I think it's honestly insane I have a friend who has lived in the mountains of CO, don't ask me why but it just is!!

So Ally Hansen, her brother, Connor, Becky, Alex, Lyndee and myself hopped in the car for a 8 1/2 hour car ride. We were only a little squished, but when you road trip with some of your best friends, the drive is so much fun!! We ate an unhealthy amount of honeybuns and jammed out to Post Malone and Lorde, for majority of our trip. BTW our arrival time was 1:30 AM, so we arrived in the middle of the night. So we didn't get to see anything but I like that because when we woke up on Friday it was a nice surprise to look out the window and see mountains (a bluff apparently lol).

I've never been to Colorado before and in the weeks leading up to this trip it brought me to tears thinking about getting to see more of God's BEAUTIFUL creation.

Ally had a whole agenda set out for us for our first full day. She took us to the Castle in Glen Eyrie and it was stunning!!! We were able to tour around in the castle by ourselves and around the grounds. Ally's mother let us borrow her camera and I took full advantage and hyped my friends up and took SO many pictures of them!! I love it, we have so many memories captured!

I think we have this whole awkward family picture thing down...

We said see ya later to our Castle, and headed over to Garden of the Gods, we decided to drive through and stop at main points. It was absolutely breath-taking.

After that we kept driving to a town called Manitou, it was so cute!! We walked around the town, shopped and ate! It was such a nice day!

You'll find me wherever the coffee is

Look how cute Ally is! and this pot was really funny we couldn't not take a picture!

I'm honestly not sure what's going on in that picture...

We stopped by this cute Custard stand on our way out of Manitou, and face-timed Hannah! Sadly she couldn't come but she was there in spirit!

Exploring way so much fun and I ma so glad I decided to come and get out of my comfort zone!

Cheesy but God is a very good artist. His wonderful creation takes my breath away daily, just as it should.

Ally and her parents took us hiking at spruce mountain for our second full day in CO! It was so fun and I teared up on the last look out spot. I was realizing everything I have to be thankful and it was a good reminder that I am not in control and to have patience with God's plan for me.
