The past few weeks have been crazy busy and I've loved every second.
My parents have been very patient as I opened our home into a Bed &Breakfast for the many travelers that passed through! It all began when Nate texted me he was in Colorado with his brothers and a short few hours later he was on my doorstep and we were having a BBQ.
The next day I picked up Brie and Bekah and we began our insane tour of Colorado in 3.5 days! (Which I'll expand on more).
They left as Nick arrived. I spent the night at the lovely 'cabin in the woods', his parents new place in Larkspur. Then another BBQ with his family, mine and Mary Lou - always hilarious. Another day where I dragged Nick around to all my "COS family" and then we were off to Texas to see Jack and Janae!! (Which I'll have to expand on later).
A few important things I realized when Brie and Bekah were here:
1). I've forgotten all about what a treasure Manitou Springs is. So full of character, so many beautiful and colorful things that we skipped from store to store goggling at. Things we instantly put on our wish list. Therese accompanied us and we giggled at our shopping spree.
2). You take the place you live in for granted until someone visits. Showing Brie and Bekah Colorado made me realize just how beautiful my home is. Seeing it through they're eyes and comments only opened my eyes further and filled my heart with even more awe than before of Colorado's beauty.
3). The hot springs are the best thing on the planet. Sitting in a rushing Colorado creek and being nice and toasty was just fabulous! A lil picnic in the river...blissful!
4). I forget how much those girls make me laugh. I love them.
That is so true about taking things for granted. Its something I'm always catching myself on. I LOVE those glasses. Did you buy them?
