Crazy Summer Part 4

The Sunday before I left for Arkansas, the topic at church was prayer. One of my friends had mentioned that he tries to pray about every little decision in life. He even prays about what seat on a plane to choose. I thought I would try to do this and see how it could improve my walk with God. So I had prayed about my seat partner on the plane then actually forgot that I had prayed about it. Until this wonderful man sat next to me on my 3 1/2 hr flight. You see, one of my 3 grandpas passed away since I moved to Colorado and I was unable to go see him while he was sick or even be able to go to his funeral. My brother and I were just talking about how much we hate that we could not say goodbye. Well God knew what I needed more than I did so he sent me Mr. Dan. It was as if I was given 3 1/2 hrs with Gramps. I will not forget Dan or our conversations and I feel truly blessed to have met him.

So I had some family here for eight days. They left on Sunday which gave me two days to get my life and house back in order and pack for my trip. But as luck would have it, my hot water heater blew up! So the day before I flew out, I had to rip everything out. We didn't get it remolded until I got back from Arkansas and it is still not done, but these are the before and afters.

I am so happy my brother and I got to see my Papa again on there trip. I always feel like it might be my last time. I always enjoy being around my grandparents.

 


Crazy Summer Part 1

Well it has been too long since my last post. I have been a crazy person trying to keep up with everything and everyone. I think I have managed thus far. So I am going to do a series called 'Crazy Summer' to try and fill you in as much as possible. I am just going to be hitting the highlights because it is already the middle of August when I am typing this, so I am too far behind to show it all.  As you have already seen, we watched fireworks on the 4th of July and then left for the camping trip the next day. That lasted 3 days and I still have to edit the video. The day we got home was the day a lot of my family arrived from Arkansas. They were here 8 days and these are just the photos of some of us hiking the Grand Mesa.








Camping for the 4th

A few of our friend and us went up to Buckhorn Lake for three days. We swam, we fished, we ate, and we even had church. Just one of my favorite weekends ever. I will have a video from this weekend as well, but that will take some time to complete.










Happy 4th!


Canoeing

We strapped the canoe onto the blazer and took off for the lake after church on Sunday.
