More from Colorado!

Since we had been going nonstop, today was mostly a stay at home day. We didn't visit many places since we were catching up on sleep. However we did make it to the community center to play basketball and volleyball. We also went to Best Buy to buy a wireless router for dad's house, which is why I'm able to get online tonight!! Last night we went to Denver to the 16th street mall. It is beautiful!! We didn't buy much, just looked around! Jeremy called this morning and he is kind of ready to get to Iraq and settled in. ( In Iraq there are better possibilities for phone and Internet). But he is doing fine and already ready to come home! I wanted to post some more pictures before I got behind. This picture was from our last day in Hawaii :) I miss him so much At the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs

Do you see Brian jumping off the rock in mid-air?? Navy blue sweater...arm raised?? Scared me half to death. I was taking his picture up there then suddenly he turned around and jumped!

I really love this state, everything is so beautiful!!

Somewhat update and Colorado

I know I haven't updated in forever! There has been a lot going on since my last post. Right now we are in Colorado visiting dad until December 23rd. We are leaving that morning to head back to Arkansas.

Jeremy made it to Kuwait just fine, he is very homesick! The tent is climate controlled though so that's good. He said it gets really cold at night. He doesn't get to call much because its 2.49 a minute. They have a hard time getting phone cards so we are going to try to talk online as much as possible once he gets to Iraq and I get Internet at the house. Before we left Hawaii we had a tropical storm that blew a big trampoline into Jeremy's truck(the day before we were selling it). Luckily we still sold both of our vehicles the next day and were on foot. We walked around 3 miles that night to our favorite restaurant and waited on Doug to come and pick us up. Our last couple of days on the island weren't the greatest with no power due to the storm. Jeremy got to go past the gate at the airport and see me off on the 8th. It was very hard for us. Then my plane was the first to land in Little Rock due to extreme fog!! I had never seen fog like that before. We didn't even see the runway til we touched down. We are almost diverted to Memphis like the other flights and that would have been terrible. I needed to get home. Jeremy had a 32 hour travel time to Kuwait so I felt terrible for him. We are already so excited for his 2 week leave next summer.

Here are some picture from our trip to Colorado so far. I will add more when I can use my own computer and Internet.

This is down the road from dad's house at Liberty Point
At the Royal Gorge, we were at the bottom of an incline to the Arkansas River

Our 4 day weekend

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile we've been busy! I'm going to take a picture of the storage room tomorrow or the next day and post it because it's so full. We went to Dave and Buster's on Friday and had so much fun. Jeremy walked up to this game and said he wanted to try it. (You have to hit a huge button and stop the light on the amount of tickets you are trying to win) Jeremy hit the biggest number the first time around it was really funny. It had just started going around the circle and he slapped the button on 1000 tickets. Its the little green wedge thats really thin and hard to land on.
We had so much fun! I got to have my favorite drink too, the Candy Shop!

So then Saturday night we went back downtown with Doug. It was their final outing and they let me tag along :)


The santa at Ala Moana Mall
Yesterday was spent working really hard on the apartment and getting things moved over to storage. Plus it has been so hard trying to pick out what stuff I'm bringing home. We have packed for me twice and I have to keep leaving things out every time because my bags are too heavy. I think we may ship a box home.

Then today we went to Diamondhead and had a great time. We are so tired. Jeremy has to pack tonight though, and take all his stuff to work tomorrow. The time has come that they want everything up there so they can be ready to fly out. Here are some pictures from today and from tonight.



The first set of stairs...

And now Jeremy is trying to fit all the required stuff into impossibly small bags. Heres an idea of some of the stuff. The date stamp is off on his camera this picture was about 10 minutes ago
