Rocky Mountain High

In late August of 2007 I hopped in my RAV4 and drove to my next duty station in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Most of you know that this was a challenging relocation for me as I have been a Beach Girl since 1985. But I have to admit, I have loved ALMOST every minute since moving here. The weather isn’t too bad on most days and there is so much to do. The snow is really pretty on the day it snows but when it stops it gets pretty nasty. I do miss my beaches but the view on my drive to work every morning is absolutely breathtaking.

My sister rode out here with me and stayed for a couple of days. It has always been a dream of hers to come to Colorado and I believe she loved it more than she thought she would. In the two days she was here we took a train to the top of Pikes Peak and visited the Royal Gorge. Since her departure I have gone to a Styx, Foreigner, and Def Leppard concert, an FSU vs. CU football game, an AF vs. TCU football game, a Rockies vs. Diamondbacks baseball game, an AF vs. CU basketball game, and most recently (and more importantly), a Red Wings vs. Avalanche hockey game…GO WINGS!!!
