It was awesome to catch up with my great friend Emily and get a peek into her life in Denver. Thanks to Em and her roommates Andrea and Kelli for letting me crash at their house for the week-end. It was a perfect week-end!!!

The here and now

I love the blue hymnal. I didn't realize how much I missed it until I attend First Mennonite in Denver this morning! Ahhh to be amongst the Mennonites again. I met several people from college that are now in Denver so that was a bonus. I heart the Mennonite game!

So I have been updating you on Thailand but much other stuff is going on in my life. Some highlights include and are not limited to....softball games and championship winners....pool time at Holly's....bonding over Chinese/Japanese and I Survived a Japanese Game Show...Worlds of Fun (need I say more!)....

this post is for the here and now.... here I am in Denver. On a little get away week-end to visit Emily (my long lost college roomie!) What a great time so far and I am blessed to have another day or two to go! Saturday we got it started right with crafts (making a pinata for a housemate's birthday party) then eating true Mexican at a local joint, Mead St., 16th Street Mall, FREE cotton candy, FREE popcorn, Dark Knight. That was all packed in to Saturday.

Sunday was reserved for the Mile High Music Festival. AWESOME!! It was reported that there were more than 40,000 people there and it seemed like more..5 stages and tons of amazing artists. The highlights included John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, Brett Dennen, Martin Sexton, Rodrigo & Gabriela, Clobie Caillat, and Flobots. Just to name a few. The pictures are on my camera but I do have the proof and some are pretty sweet if I do say so myself!

Right now the here and now is a pretty sweet gig!

Summer Time

Why does summer go by so fast? Can't we just strech it out a little longer...especially this one! I start clinicals Aug 4 and I am oober anxious.

As Anne of Green Gables reminds me....the sun will continue to rise and set whether I fail at geometry (school/clinicals) or not. Enough of school... I am still in summer and must live each day to the fullest!

THAILAND!

Wow! What an adventure. I was there one short week in June but what an amazing time. Photos can tell it better so I will get them posted!

a look at our bungaloo on Ko Lanta! so beautiful and inexpensive!!!

Our pool and beach at the resort!! AMAZING!!!

riding on the island on a tuk tuk!

elephant trekking and hiking to a waterfall was just awesome!

I thought the next day couldn't get better but we went snorkeling on several different islands! Life got so much better!! ahhh!

We haven't even made it to off the islands to Bangkok for the rest of our trip of shopping in the markets and Thai massages and food food food!!!! maybe I'll post those later....
