Waterski Adventure

One thing we miss about living in the midwest is waterskiing. We haven't been out to Texas yet this year to visit my big bro Brian (thank you for always taking us waterskiing) nor have we been to Minnesota to stay at Paul's parents lake cabin... needless to say we were itching to go waterskiing. We got to do just that Friday evening! We had a blast and still are very sore. Holly joined us and we had a great time in Morrison afterwards.

Thanks for visiting Gayle and Steve/Happy Birthday Pete!

I feel like I just blog our weekends. Actually these summer weekends have been so fun...I think this has been one of my favorite summers. This weekend Gayle and Steve Miller came to Denver because Steve wanted to run in the Muddy Buddy in Boulder...a race that consists of running/biking with a friend in costume 10K then finishing with a mud obstacle course. Tammy got to hang out with Ramona and Gayle and hike at Golden State Park and enjoy Denver/Boulder. It was so fun connecting with them again...they are always so hilarious.

We also got to celebrate Pete's birthday on Saturday! We "rapped" a Happy Birthday song for him in the morning with scones then went out eating in Boulder and went to a Charlie Hill concert. We loved spending the day with Pete on his birthday!!!

August Vacation

Oh man, we just got back from the best vacation! It truly was a vacation. Our goals of the vacation were 1) spend time with Jesus 2) relax! relax! relax! 3) exercise, and of course 4) just be together. We started out the week at Estes Park and stayed in the cutest cozy cabin at the YMCA. 5 years ago we got engaged at Longs Peak outside of Estes Park and we wanted to celebrate that. We even made a Houge tile that will be put up at the YMCA and we can reflect on it when we come to visit.

Our vacation consisted of reading, napping, napping some more then we would head out for a hike or run then read some more. One of our thoughts was to read through the New Testament, but we kept journaling about Matthew and haven't made it out of there yet. We wanted to pray about our passions and what we are going to do in 2 and half years when Paul may retire from the Air Force. Overseas missions is both of our hearts, but we have other thoughts as well. Anyways, we got back from Estes on Wednesday evening and hung out with some friends, then left to go camping on Thursday. Ramona and Pete joined us for a day as well. We feel so refreshed and so relaxed.
