Rush Hour Traffic

I love being back in Colorado Springs. But one thing I do not love is the traffic! I guess I'm spoiled....for years I did not have to drive to work on an interstate during rush hour.

This has been a real test of faith. God is good and has protected and blessed me on every trip to work and home.

Thank goodness I don't live in a larger city! :)

Rocky Mountain High

One of my favorite destinations has always been the mountains. Growing up in Colorado, I have many fond memories of camping trips, hikes and enjoying the outdoors.

Yesterday we took a day-trip to the mountains. It thrills my heart to start climbing in elevation up Ute Pass (Highway 24), winding between the rocky, red foothills and enjoying the fresh mountain pine scent.

As we drove from Woodland Park to Deckers, we discussed the possibility of living in the mountains some day. Neither one of us are particularly social and we could survive a week at a time in a mountain retreat beyond the outside world. We envision a cabin on a secluded road overlooking some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

God only knows if this fantasy will ever become reality, but it is fun to dream.
