Trains!

I love trains!

The first train I ever remember riding was when I was 17 in Europe going from London the France. And then a few days later, we took the train from France to Italy.... it was an overnight train and I've been in love ever since. I don't even know what it is about trains. They have character. And the older the better. This weekend I found myself climbing all over several train cars hoping to find a door unlocked or hoping Adam wouldn't yell at me if I climbed on top of one. No luck. But I have pictures to enjoy!

Pueblo Chile Festival

This past Saturday, Adam and I went to the Pueblo Chile Festival. Being newbies in town, I told him it would make us true locals. I really wanted to go but once we got there I was ready to go. Its a local festival. The only reason I went to the ones back home is because I still lived with the parents and wanted to get out of the house. I figured out that unless you have money to waste (which I don't) then there isn't really much to do at a festival. I had my camera so it wasn't a total bust but we still left after making one pass down the street and getting one old fashioned root beer.

Pueblo Mountain Park

My husbands boss gave me a job at the greenhouse so I've been so tired lately! I got amazingly lazy in the month I didn't have a job! Its not really something I want to do very long but its easy enough. I pack lettuce. Its pretty simple so I don't mind doing it. The thing I like the best is that all our stuff goes to supply Whole Foods. Its kinda cool knowing where exactly where Whole Foods gets some of their stuff. :)

But I've still been having fun exploring the area. Over the weekend we went to Beulah about 20 minutes away to go to Pueblo Mountain Park. We went once before but we had just gone for a drive and ended up there and we didn't go hiking. This time we got to go hiking! :)

New Home

Its been awhile again... but I have a good excuse this time. I've been very busy moving across the country from Kentucky to  Colorado! But its good to finally be in a place that I can call home. :)

Adam and I have been exploring but it keeps happening when I don't have my camera. We were going for some coffee the day after we got here and ended up driving into the mountains. And then we went to Lowe's and ended up in Canon City in the mountains and in a 5 star restaurant in blue jeans and a t-shirt... but we met the owner and he said it was ok.

Yesterday we half-planned a trip to Colorado Springs, so I knew to bring my camera at least. We were planning to go to Garden of the Gods but once we got close we decided to drive to Pike's Peak but then we got distracted and decided to go to Seven Falls. But I got so many good pictures out there! It was amazing!

July 4th

I can't wait to not live in a neighborhood. My neighbors have been setting off fireworks since the 1st and it is the 5th. Independence Day is only one day. I understand it fell on a Monday this year. But does that really mean we have to do fireworks ALL WEEKEND?? Some people (like this woman right here) still have to get their butts back to work on Monday morning at 6am. If I got to bed at 9 I would get a full nights rest. Its usually somewhere after 10.... but I really don't appreciate everyone setting off fireworks on Sunday night after 11. So please if you live within 100 feet of someone else, be considerate. That person might need their sleep. If you must celebrate loudly... lets all agree on just one day. And if I thought everyone was really being patriotic I don't think I'd care as much but I know they just want to play with explosives.

Happy Independence Day!

Maddie and Mikie

Maddie and Mikie's birthdays are just 6 days apart so my sister threw them a double birthday party. Maddie turned 3 and Mikie turned 1. And the are so precious. I love them so much!

Meet Addelyn Jody

My good friend Melissa Jody and her husband welcomed a beautiful little bundle of joy on May 18th. I had the honor of meeting her on my birthday and fell in love. She is a little beauty!
