Trip to Ft. Collins and other things! :)

Since my last blog, a lot has happened in our fun life!  Last Wednesday, Nathan left for El Paso for a training for PDAP, and I left for Ft. Collins.  It took me allllll day to get there!  I left Midland at 7:45 am and got there at 8:45. (9:45 our time!)  I felt like it took forever, but it was so worth it because I got to see my bestest friend KatyAnn!!!!  KatyAnn graduated from Colorado State this last Saturday, and that is why I made the trip.  We had so so so much fun!  Here's a few of the dumb pictures KatyAnn, Brittany, and I took hanging out in Old Town celebrating KatyAnn's awesome accomplishment!

You have to be really nice to the Colorado bears!

"We are the three best friends that anyone could have...!"

Nathan flew in to Denver on Friday afternoon, and I picked him up at the airport.  I didn't even have to use my GPS to get there, and I was very proud of myself! haha.  We just hung out on Friday night to be ready for Katy's big day Saturday!  

On Saturday, KatyAnn had a graduation party with two of her friends and it was so much fun.  We got to meet some of her friends, and I loved getting to talk to them.  After the party, we just recuperated at Katy's house and got ready for her graduation.  Her graduation was so much fun, and we definitely yelled really loud for her!  She graduated Cum Laude, and we were so proud!  We got some great pictures of Saturday night!

Shaking hands with all the important people!

My two favorite people!

YAY!!!!!!  KatyAnn's a CSU Alumni!!!!!!!

All of our school signs!
 (Luke made his up b/c his school didn't have one!  haha!)

It was wonderful being in Colorado with our best friends.  We are so blessed and loved every minute of that trip.  Yes, Nathan and I even loved the drive home!  We were in the car 12 hours together, and we still loved it!  haha!  On the way home, Nathan got some pretty good shots of the mountains, and I wanted to share those too!  They are so beautiful!

What an amazing God we have!

I wish Midland looked like this!

God blessed me today!  I got a job!  I am going to be a summer teacher at a daycare here with school-aged kids.  I'm very thankful that I found something for this summer, but now it's time to start looking for a teaching job in the fall!  I'm excited about the things that are coming up this summer for us.  Kyler's 21st birthday is this Saturday, which is very weird because he is my little brother and is supposed to be little forever!  The next weekend is Thomas and Marisa's wedding and it is Memorial Day.  Then the next weekend is Rustin's baby shower!  Needless to say, we are going to be very busy with all the weekend trips!  I just consider us to be very blessed!  :)

Love to Everyone!
