It was so good to finally get back to CO after 3 years away. We saw so many friends and enjoyed our time with all of them. Time did not allow for us to see everyone so I am already praying for another chance to get back there soon. P. and I were able to visit the Navigators, where we originally met 6 years ago. It was fun to take Pete up there and see all our friends and former co-workers and tell him this is where our story began. Look how far we have come. Colorado was beautiful. Not the green lush beautiful MI is but a different beauty. I had forgotten how awesome the mountains are and how stunning the sunsets are behind them. Everywhere we drove I found myself looking up towards the mountains like I used to do when I lived there. They are truly amazing and I felt like I couldn't get enough of them. We spent the 5 days with our closest friends, checking and working on our rental homes and of course, trying to make sure Pete got in a nap here and there. Words cannot even begin to explain how great Pete was on our trip. He spent all day traveling out there and back and never once fussed or cried about anything. He was happy, content and well behaved. When we got off the plane about 5 different people stopped us and complimented us on our good baby boy. I was so proud. At the end of every day there I thanked God for blessing us with such a sweet baby. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful child who brings us so much joy. Everyone loved him and couldn't get enough of him out there. And of course I was so proud of him and my husband, I felt like I was smiling for 5 days straight. Well, Pete is awake from his nap and I am writing this as fast as I can while he is being patient with me waiting in his room all alone. Here are some pictures from our trip. Again, it was so hard to pick my favorites. Here are just a few of the two hundred great pictures we have from our trip to CO. Maybe the Lord will allow for us to move back there someday. Maybe that's His plan. Maybe not. Enjoy and thanks to everyone in the Springs who made time to see us, feed us, spend time with us and who after all these years are still our friends no matter the distance between us.
