Fall Travels!

Erik and I have really been enjoying our time lately. Once again, time slips by so quickly, but it seems like our moments are filled with laughter, fun, and the ones we love the most!

Last weekend I got the chance to go to Phoenix to spend 4 days with my grandma, mom for a girls weekend. It was SO good to finally be back together with Britt, and it was so great to get to spend some good time with Brandon, Kirstin, Caleb, Collin and Beau.  There was nothing formal about the weekend which I think made it that much better...so great to finally all be back in one place...the only people missing were Erik and my dad!  It was so fun to have some quality time with my mom, grandma and sister. We have been trying to plan a "Girl's Weekend" for a long time and I am so grateful that it finally happened. There were lots of much needed laughs shared and it was a reminder of the blessing I have in such an incredible family.

Erik got the chance to hike up Mount of the Holy Cross with Ryan and Ralph. They do an annual trip every summer but with the busyness of being a newlywed and traveling to Peru, their plans were put on hold until this fall.  Thankfully the chose a great weekend to go and the snow held off!  Hard to believe that they already ran into snow on some parts of the trail! I am not quite sure that I am ready for the season to end..but inevitably it is coming.  Check out the picture of Ralph on the tip top of his first 14er!  Erik said that Ralph did well for the most part, but was absolutely exhausted for the next two days....I can imagine why!
We both enjoyed our time away from the routine of our everyday life.  It was a breath of fresh air to be with some of the people we love the most and are really trying to not take times like these for granted!
