Laura's Visit



I just had one of my old roommates from Omaha visit me this past weekend. Laura actually lives in D.C. now and wanted to get away from the craziness that was going on this weekend. It has been a few years since we had seen each other, but you would have never known. She is so easy to talk to and get along with, it was like no time had past!

On Saturday we went up to Keystone. Laura's one request was to go to a Mountain Village, so off to Keystone we went. Once we finally found the village-esk area in Keystone it was so beautiful and just what I had pictured. It was a gorgeous day outside with not a cloud in the sky and a royal blue sky as a background to the snow crested mountains. I think we were the only people not in ski clothes, but we didn't care. Maya loved it, she was smiling, bouncing and happy the whole time! Plus she got to meet a stuffed moose.

Drive Home From Keystone

We came home to warm taco soup and a night of Guitar Hero World Tour. We actually played World Tour every night after Maya went to bed. It was really fun, and Laura was talented at everything, drums, guitar, and singing!! She enjoyed it so much, she even dreamt about it and pictured it at while singing at church.


On Sunday, we all went to church and enjoyed an afternoon of football. My brother Jordan came over too (he just moved here, so excited for that) Maya was the star of the day walking around with her little "walk along" toy, while everyone cheered for her.
(sorry Laura, had to post it..... she didn't drink a lot, she just happened to have a beer in her hands when she fell asleep on a Sunday afternoon watching football)

On Monday, I had to work, but Laura was able to go with Brett, Maya and my brother to Garden of the gods. We then met up at my favorite Mexican Restuarant Amanda's Fonda. So tasty.. and I couldn't help put get the Midori Magarita. The night was finished with an episode of 24 and of course more World Tour.

Tuesday, her last day here... :O( we went to Focus on the Family and Chick -Fil-A, two essential stops in Colorado springs.

It was so much fun to have her here! I loved having a girlfriend here all weekend She is a fantastic person all around and seeing her just reminded me of that. I know that God has such a great plan for her life and you can see it unfolding right now.
