1st Colorado Winter!!!

Our first winter in Colorado Springs has been wonderful! Everyone told us that the winters would be more mild here than back in Ohio, but we had no idea that meant 50's and 60's in January. We have been able to do lots of hikes and even wear shorts....crazy! The sun also shines so much brighter here that we get sun burnt so much easier than back home, so we've had to be careful about that. All in all though we have really enjoyed getting out and just enjoying all of God's creation. We are just amazed by His beauty all around:)


We did a long hike at Red Rock Canyon on Saturday....what a gorgeous day!

Jack likes to follow Dan when he hikes up the red rocks...makes me nervous!


This picture is from Monday morning we hiked up Mt Herman in Monument, CO....It was beautiful!



There's snow once you get higher up in the mountains right now and Jack loves to dive in head first....it's hilarious!

Man, you guys really like to rub it in that the weather's so wonderful there, don't you?! Enough already...I can't take this anymore! I'm calling a moving truck tomorrow. It might be expensive, but I'm going to do it. You'll be okay...start packing...you're coming home. If we have to suffer - you have to suffer too. (hahaha, obviously I'm just kidding! I'm so glad you're able to get out & enjoy where you live. The views are amazing & the picture of Jack is priceless - silly dog! Hahaha!)
