It' summer?????

It is not supposed to be this hot in colorado yet. It is already hitting over 85 degrees!! This was great for my friends Ian and Camille's Wedding.

We had the bachelor's party last week out by Shelf Road. Ian is really into climbing and the Shelf Road area has an amazing amount of climbing. We camped at a Blm campsite for 2 days and partied, climbed and rode dirt bikes all over the place. It was really cool to be out camping again!!

This week we were preparing all week for the wedding. And so it went off without a hitch last night. I love it when 2 people feel so right for each other and when you can tell god is blessing them as they get ready to get married. I did not actually get to see the ceremony because i was out getting burritos for the dinner afterwards, but I heard it was beautiful. The Glen really hooked them up. They only had to pay for the stuff that the Glen did not already have. The reception was really cool with a whol

It's 80 degrees

I wish I had some pictures of colorado today! It is amazing. It is not supposed to be this warm out today. It is supposed to be freezing cold or at least mildly chilly.

I need to get a copy of the pictures from our trip to the sand dunes 2 weeks ago. Jev had just gotten his motorcycle registered so we rode down to the sanddunes and I am hoping that he got some amazing pictures with our bikes. The ride was beautiful. We rode down from the springs to canon city to Salida to the sand dunes and then up to walsenburg to the springs. Unfortunatly, we ended up riding from walsenburg to colorado springs in the dark. i think we probably stopped 5 times in 150 miles because we were so cold. Hopefully we will get to do some 3-4 day rides this summer around the west!!! Here is one of he pictures from when I was in Baja at Christmas to hold the place until I get pics from Jev. Also a hooka picture from the top of our roof.

It is getting to be the time again where we get to spend many hours talking on the roof of the t-house. I sometimes despise living on the Glen but so many other times
I love living at the t-house. The community and just having lots of people to hang out with all the time. I do not think i would have gotten to know Jev, Todd and Ian so well if we had not lived at the t-house.

Todd's sister Carrie, her husband Graham, their son Hudson, and Joel all came out to stay with todd for the weekend. It was fun to hang out with those guys at todd's house and then we had everyone up to the t-house last night for drinks. There is another idea for the t-house. a patio and wet bar out on the roof. Graham and Carrie are some of the coolest new parents i've ever met. They are just so chill about having a 5 month old.

more pictures to come later

Authority

Why is authority so hard to respect?? Is it the pride inside me? Is it that I will not obey people I do not respect.

I struggle everyday to respect and obey willingly those in charge of me. The guys that I respect I listen to with a willing and open mind, but my bosses who are just total idiots are so hard to obey. I talked about this with one of my friends I work with and we both struggle to listen to the guys in authority over us. If we think something they are telling us to do is stupid or just plain idiotic then it is almost like pulling teeth out (or getting a haircut in my case). My friends dad, told him that it does not matter what your boss tells you to do, if you do it like he says it will fall on his shoulders. I will admit that if i listened to everything my boss told me I do not think i would get my job done as effectively.

All this deep thinking of late is hurting my brain... colorado Springs is so beautiful this time of year!! The grass is just starting to turn green and flowers are peeking their heads out of the ground everywhere. I feel so much more alive every time I look around and see another garden that is coming alive. The glen is so beautiful when God brings everything out of dormancy in the spring.

I guess he has been doing that with me lately. My mind has been opened to many things lately. How i treat people has been at the forefront of my mind. It was brought to a head this week at church. JR was talking about inclusiveness. I hardly ever hear the way jesus treated people called inclusiveness. It really was inclusiveness! He did not exclude anyone from his kingdom if they were willing to come clean with him. There are alot of people I reject in my daily meanderings. I just decide that they are not any fun to hang around or not worth it. or just un cool. Where I get off deciding that I do not know, because even though most people like me i am hardly ever considered cool.
