Wheat Grass???

A nice worker at Keva Juice let my mom go back and have a shot with the wheat grass. One ounce shot is worth 2.5 lbs. worth of vegetables. It is a hangover cure as well as something to take if you are getting sick! Great stuff with a chaser of O.J.

Beautiful day in Colorado Springs!

My mom and I enjoying a special treat at Keva Juice. A little something my friend Wendy suggested..thanks Wendy!

Scrap Mania!

My mom and I went to Archiver's and worked on many different things. I had a great time...she had an awesome time too!

Being Dorks in the Canyon!

These are the hardest shots for me, I don't know why? I'm always looking cheesy!

Angie in William's Canyon.

As much as she is afraid of heights she sure likes to climb up the rocks. That is Cave of the Winds in the background. This was another fun day with Angie in Colorado.

Hiking in Williams Canyon.

This is one of my favorite hikes in Colorado. It is slowly uphill all the way, a great workout.

A play....

Angie, Gina, Baby Ben and I went to the theater. I will have to say I expected there to be more than one person doing all the acting. Needless to say we left during intermission.

Parvancini

Enjoying an amazing dinner at Parvancini in Old Colorado City. Our necks are a little sore.

I can do this...

Reverend Goat finding my center and getting ready to inflict pain.

Does she look scared?

Sinister Tattoo is where it all happens. It is such a tough decision, what should I get put on my body forever?

Trying new activities..

Angie and I went to stamp camp on Saturday morning and made some really cool projects.

We took a little rest at a beautiful point along the trail. Garden of the Gods is in the far background.

Playing in Red Rock Canyon

As much rock climbing you will see out of me.

Our psychic reading...

We went to Celebrations in Old Colorado city and each had our own personal psychic reading. It was very interesting.

This is what we do in Colorado....

Angie got a tattoo while she was here. It is a symbol for "luck" in Chinese. We can thank Reverend Goat for these awesome tattoos.

The latest addition to my body....

So, I also got a new tattoo. It says "family" in Korean.

What I've been doing with my time lately.....

Posin' in front of the picture opportunity spot near the pony rides at the Harvest Festival. You can see Maggie is coming to join me on the hay! A fun day with the Franklunds.

A new baby brother...

This is classic! Scott gave Ian the frozen bottle of Soju from Korea, maybe this will help with a new baby brother around.

Hangin' with the Foss's!

Hanging out with the Foss's and new Baby Ben...this is why I have a job! Thanks, Gina! :)

The finish line....

I know, I didn't put these in a very good order..but I'm very tired! Please forgive me. Here I am at the end of the 5K I walked for the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. September 7th, 2008, Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, CO!!!!! What a beautiful day. Ladies, get your mammograms!

Singing to us along the way....

There were bands set up around the Garden of the Gods playing great music, cheering us on. You know how much I love music...this helped me tons!

Getting ready to start...

My bags didn't quite make it through all 5 airports. I am still happy, I have taken a shower and am sporting a hotel towel. Yes, that is a Captain Morgan and Coke in my hand! Life is good!

Where are they?

Angie, Sara, and Keri waiting for my bags the next day at the airport. I am ready to burn these clothes at this point!

They have arrived...

A day late and a dollar short, I am still thankful! I love my baggage.

Who could ask for more?

They know me so well. Angie and Keri had all my favorite treats waiting for me when I got to the hotel! I love you girls!!

The Finale.....

We are so lucky to have made such good friends. They threw Mo, Anderson and myself a going away party. It was amazing, they made slide shows that made us all cry our eyes out! I am so lucky to have had these people in my life this past year. I don't know how I would have made it through without ALL of them! My DGEV family, I love YOU!
