My 7700' Above Sea Level Girls Weekend

This past weekend my friend Pam and I went to visit our friend Jen in Conifer, CO. We have been friends for almost 10 years--- 10 years of friendship, laughing, crying, praying, serving and general shenanigans.  

Back to the weekend---we spend some sweet time together--- one of the added perks to visiting Jen in CO is spending time with her family. We crafted, walked the Mt. (twice 1/2), and golfed on the Wii. 

Here are some pictures from the weekend---- Thanks Jen, Sean, Peyton and Avery for letting us stay with you. 

It will definitely be less than 3 years before my next visit-- I need to go back to beat Pa in golf!!  

We Are All Like Pumpkins

I usually never read forwarded e-mails, but this one is pretty good..... thanks God for reminding me of your love and grace. 

A woman was asked by a coworker, 'What is it like to be a Christian?

'The coworker replied, 'It is like being a pumpkin.'  

God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you.   Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff.He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed.  Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see.'

Twins are Twice as Cute

Since I don't have any babies to blog about and my sister and sister-in-law will not be having any babies any time soon- I get to brag about my friend Kelly beautiful baby girls, Elsa and Elena.  Last night I got to meet them... they are a delight and not even a week old yet-- tomorrow they will be 1 week old.  

Elena is on the left and Elsa is on the right 

Newborn babies are such a miracle from God... how can anyone say there is no God when they see these beautiful girls ! 

Saturday Bike Ride---- I Am Happy I Didn't Hit Another BIke This TIme

This past Saturday my favorite Pine River residents, Tom and Cheryl, came down to the cities for our fall bike ride.  We set out Saturday morning to Mpls on our quest to see the new 35W Bridge, we did manage to see it, but was not able to ride our bikes under it-- not yet, this weekend you can.   

Shuffle, Shuffle Step.....

I just got back from my first EVER tap/jazz dance class- it was a blast and I had no idea what I was doing, but I had soooooo much fun !!!  I have always wanted to take tap dancing class, I encourage you try something have always wanted to do !!  

This video is of Jason Samuels Smith on SYTYCD --- I don't tap like him.... YET!!!
