The sun came out this morning and we had amazing weather all day. Dry 70’s in the summer is such a luxury. We spent the first part of the day at Garden of The Gods which was really cool but reminded us a lot of Thunder mountain at Disney World. It’s a park with amazing rock formations that Drew says were formed by tectonic plates “dry-humping” each other.
This afternoon we moved our stuff into Sean’s place, which is an amazing Victorian house that was built in 1899. It’s huge and yellow so I nicknamed it “Big Bird.” When I said we were going to dump all of our crap in Sean’s basement apparently Bogey took that literally because the first thing he did when we got to Sean’s house was crap in his basement. Unfortunately I did not get a picture, but I’m sure you can imagine. Drew and I are so lucky to have a friend as generous, easy-going, and forgiving as Sean. After that Sean took us to Cheyenne Canyon where we drove up a sketchy winding road and got to see amazing views of Colorado Springs. It’s so cool to see red rocks, Aspen trees, and 14,000 ft mountains. God is good.
Drew’s fun fact: China uses 45 billion chopsticks per year; 25 million trees are chopped down to make the chopsticks.
God is good! It sounds like such a beautiful place. I am looking forward to visiting one day. Glad you are feeling better. Good luck as you move forward! We are all waiting to hear about possible jobs and places to live. Always remember that your family and friends are there for you; regardless of distance. Miss you! Love, Mom (9 more days)
