PS:

Friday August 1st is "Colorado Day"!!! Let me be the first to wish you a very happy, Colorado Day. Enjoy responsibly....

I can see it from here!

So we're off on vacation this weekend. A long weekend/short trip to Oak Island. When we get back I have to really zone in for a few days, and then all attention shifts....here:










....Ok I'll stop.

"I was in the pool" -- George Castanza

This is a youtube clip of my favorite place on earth. It was taken in the last few weeks, and there's still snow!!! Feel free to skip ahead to the 3 minute mark, that's where the pay off really is. You never really get a good look at the mountain. In fairness, it's a big mountain and tough to fit into the shot...



You never know, we may have a clip of me doing that in 42 days!!

Deuteronomy 31:6 says, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

I don't really have any wisdom to add to that. But I shared it with some people today and it seemed to help some of them. Hopefully it does the same for you.

Never before have I been soooo happy to see a huge deduction in our checking account. I got to work and checked it online (kind of a daily thing, just to keep an eye on it) and there it was. "Withdrawal, $921.76." (or whatever it was) I was so pumped. It was the second half of our reservation for the cabin Lindsay and I are staying in when we go to the promised land in 59 days from my typing this. It's paid for. The first half the woman took when we first booked it, the second half to come out when we were 60 days out. Which is where we are!! We're that close!!! I'm like a school girl now. When the countdown gets to single digits, I will be dang near useless. Now way in the world I'll be any kind of productive.

So then I decide to find the cabin on google earth. By looking around, I realized we're 1 1/2 mile away from the Rocky Mountain National Park's entrance. 1 1/2 mile in the other direction, the start of the "Peak to Peak" Scenic by way, which is a road which stretches from Estes Park south around 30 miles toward Pikes Peak. It's supposed to be one of the most scenic roads in the state (which is saying something). I haven't been on that road yet, so Lindsay and I will discover that together. Quite frankly, my imagination tells me it's the only thing I'll ever see to rival her for "Most beautiful sight ever".

I'm just so incredibly, annoyingly excited for this trip. And now that the cabin, flight, rental car, everything's paid for, the only thing left to do is count down and try to focus on my job. After I blog about not being focused that is. 9....58....57....
