So summer went by way too fast!! We didn't have time to fit in everything we would have liked, but two weeks before school started we took a weekend trip to Colorado:)
Jaden has been out there on work, and so I met him there and off we went! It was kind of a birthday trip slash end of the summer vaca slash get out of town before nursing consumed my life type of trip!! Anyways.. Here's how it went:)
(just had to throw this in cause it was my favorite pic of the trip:)!)
we went on the alpine slide!:) soooo fun!
and jadens reasoning for the entire trip...see Doc Holladays Grave! bucketlist checkmark for him:)
(turns out though...he isn't even buried right there...just somewhere in the cemetary?!)
and to my suprise he went swimming with me:) we went to the Glenwood Hot Springs! ya have to look them up online because it is one HUGE hot spring!!
This was my parents favorite part of the colorado vacation we took with our family a long, long time ago! So when we saw there was a train we knew we totally had to do it! It was so much fun and way relaxing:) The first part we rode on an open but covered cart, and then we traded to the very last cart on the train that was totally open like the yellow one in the picture, it was a blast! (& perfect weather)!
one night we kinda.sorta.maybe.mighthave gotten lost?! oops! So we ended up having date night at the bowling alley right down the street from our hotel:) We had fun & I beat him both games we played;)! (don't tell him I told you!)
...and of course we planned the whole trip around getting to the temple in Centennial, which is by Denver! It was beautiful!! It was also packed, we got there at 10:00ish thinking we could get into the 10:30 session, but that one was full! The 11:00 session was spanish speaking, so that didn't work either! So we ended up in the 11:30 session which was quite the wait! I waited in a room with lots of sisters who had traveled from extremely far away, even a few from utah! (I may or may not have eavsdropped on their conversations a little, but it was a small room and they weren't whispering, so what can i say!) Jaden, the lucky bugger, got asked to go do Initiatories which he absolutely loved:) He hadn't ever done those before so he was super excited! Anyways...It was a beautiful day and we decided that if we ever take a trip anywhere close to a temple we will definitely be setting aside time to go! It is such a special place:)
Well, theres the vaca! School is now started and life is hectic to say the least, but we're holding up! My house is a mess more days then its not, and my sleeping schedule is so outta wack, but it will all be worth it in the end:) I know that we are so blessed to have what we have and be able to do the things we are doing right here, right now. This is where we are meant to be! I love the church & the gospel and we would be so lost without it!
"You are too blessed to be stressed"
Love, ShelbyBagley:)!
