my life in colorado

ok, so Colorado is probably one of the most beautiful places in the fall.  My camera cannot capture how beautiful the yellow leaves are, but here are a few pictures of my apartment and life at Focus.

Our apartments are really great.  Here is the front view:

Every morning I get to go outside on our porch and drink coffee while I see this view:

And this is pikes peak a little bit to the left of that view:)  It is gorgeous!

So, welcome to my apartment:)  This is the kitchen and desk/dinner table area:

And this is the living room (and Callie):

Then you walk a little farther and you come to my bedroom and bathroom:)

So this is my home.  I love it here!  My roommates and I love to take pictures so here are a few from random days at the institute:

Here is a pic from our first day of school:

And here is a pic of our first day of church in the Springs (p.s. look at the mountains in the background!):

So there were a few september birthdays.  One of our friends had a birthday party next door so our apartment decided to go to goodwill and buy some fun party clothes (This picture still makes me laugh):

I shared my birthday with another student here at the institute, Ashlie.  She is pretty much my twin.  We have taken a bunch of personality tests and we are both the "powerful hammer" and a "lion".  This means we are take control/competitive girls. lol  Anyways, we went to an airforce football game for our birthdays.  Then for dinner a whole bunch of us went out for dinner.  It was so much fun!

We also had a girls weekend retreat in the mountains and here is yet another roomie pic.:)  This is prob my fav pic so far!

We have also done a lot of hiking and I have made some really great friends.  Today was a super cold and foggy day.  We watched some college football and then decided to take a short road trip to denver to visit the outlet mall.:)  Getting new jeans on sale at the gap outlet for $20 (that actually fit well) is just SO exciting:)
