On Top of Mountain! (really!) Day 1

The husband and I are in the middle of our 2 week Campus Crusade Staff conference- and let me tell you, it has been

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!

Since I don’t have time (and or energy) to put this all up in one post, I am going to go a day at a time- and you will just be a few days behind in our actual life. Who knows, I might even get all caught up here in a few days!
We packed up the car (left our darling puppy with V’s parents,which really broke my heart) and headed to Wichita Falls to meet up with our amazing staff friends, Sam and Emily for the long haul up to Colorado!

Emily and I were so excited! We had not seen each other in forever!

Emily’s parents made us this yummy dinner!

And she had the coolest container to serve water! Isn’t it beautiful? She said she saw it at this cute boutique restaurant and recreated it herself with a empty bottle! Love it!

We left super early in the morning, and were super sleepy, not that you can tell. Ha!

And for hours, this is all we saw…

Until!!!

We made it to Colorado! And the welcome center for maps and freebies!

We drove on a Monday, and apparently McDonalds was giving away free Mocha’s all day. I had not been to a McDonalds in about 4 years, and lets just say we made up for lost time! Sam decided every rest stop/ potty break we should get free mini-mochas. This was our fourth of the day (actually I thought they were gross and gave V all mine)

We made it Colorado Springs where we stayed the night, and I got to see some of my roomie Rach’s family! It was so fun to get to see them! Other than our McMocha's, we wanted to go all local eating out, so they took us to this cool little place called Phantom Canyon in downtown Colorado Springs.

Can you believe they get to see this every day??

But all in all we made it safe and sound, and ready to play and get up to the conference the next day!
