We made it!

Well, we are here and boy is Colorado gorgeous!  Although...we also drove through some pretty amazing country too.  Our road trip was awesome and is actually now my favorite one yet!  But that could also just be because we got to camp along the way ;).  We made it here late afternoon yesterday and have now settled into our dorm room - yes, dorm room :).  Campus Crusade uses the campus of CSU (Colorado State University) for the conference.  It's been kinda fun to be in a dorm together...we even have meal cards - it's like we're back in college...except we feel super old, lol ;).

Since arriving, we have been so excited to finally meet the rest of the staff working with Lifelines.  Today and tomorrow are ministry days with Lifelines and it's been incredible getting to know everyone more and participating in different workshops.  We are so looking forward to the rest of our time here and taking in the rest of the conference!

Well...I won't bore you with too many words in this blog ;) ....for right now I will leave you with several pictures from our road trip.  ENJOY! :)

We got to meet up with my Aunt and cousin in Reno as we passed through.  So great to spend time with them!

Loved all the snow capped mountains

Enjoying the campfire on a cool night

The campsite....gorgeous place I'd highly recommend!

A lot of you know how I love photography...so of course I had fun taking lots of pics and played around with my camera settings a lot - here is one of those pics.  Love taking night shots!

Flaming Gorge National Park in northern Utah

Second campsite in Flaming Gorge National Park, another beautiful spot!

Kaleb enjoyed some relax time in our hammock

We LOVE our tent - definitely going to get a lot of use out of it!

Another yummy dinner, haha....

Before leaving the next morn, we got up really early and did a short hike to this peak where you could overlook part of Flaming Gorge...definitely worth it!

And here we are!!  More to come later....
