My Feet are in Heaven!!
So, My feet have been killing me as of late. Wearing sandals and flip flops have not been kind to me. When I went home for Memorial Day my Mom told me about her new CROCS flip flops. She said that they were the most comfortable flip flops she had put on. So last week I thought I would try them out. Ok so they are the most expensive flip flops I have every bought, but OH MY GOODNESS!!!! My feet are in HEAVEN! I am loving my new Crocs. So if you have some extra dough, try them out... it will be worth it!

Rocky Mountain High in Colorado!!
Well, I spent Memorial Day in Colorado with Mom and Dad and the Coltharps. I decided that it was cheaper and more time effective for me to fly out of Amarillo, Tx (which is 31/2 to 4 hours from Midland! I was able to save about half the money I would have to spend to fly out of Midland (this includes gas, parking and hotel). Plus I was about to spend two extra day with the family. Which was good for me...HOPEFULLY it was good for them too!
Friday was a sleepy day. I got in to Denver at 8am, which means that I had drive to Amarillo the night before. I left after work and didn't get to the hotel until 1am then had to be at the Airport at 6 so I was running on about 4 hours of sleep.

Saturday was really fun; I wanted to go up in to the mountains, so we decided to go up to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Can I just say that I love that place. The first thing that we did in Estes Park was go to the Stanley Hotel! And we actually went inside!! It was so cool! I would love to stay the night there!!
Sunday was church and family time. We had our Memorial Day BBQ. We ate outside. Oh, I forgot to tell you how beautiful the weather was. I left the oppressive 100 degree weather to the cool clean 60 and 70 degree weather of Colorado! It was a wonderful thing.
Monday we went to this really cool street fair. It was so fun to walk around and see all the crafts and cool things there. I haven't really found anything like that here in West Texas, are you surprised? Then we got lost in Stapleton, well kind of. We were looking the shops at Northfield. But we didn't know the name of the them or that they were at Northfield, so we drove around for a bit. Then we got done with everything that we wanted to do really early. So since we were right by the airport, I got there about 3 hours early.
I got back to Amarillo at about 8:30 and had to drive back to Midland. I arrived at my apartment at 1am! But by the time I got to bed it was 1:30-1:45. I was exhausted. But it was all worth it! I love Colorado! I love and miss the weather and mountains.
Did I ever tell you that I when I was young that my dream was to live in Colorado!?! Maybe someday it will happen again!
