Glimpse

Here is a quick glimpse of our trip to Colorado.

 

Beautiful Wisconsin farmland.

Heading over the Mississippi

Miles and miles of Iowa windmills (yay wind power!!!!)

Balanced Rock in Garden of the Gods - Colorado Springs, CO

Amazing house built on the side of a mountain. - Garden of the Gods - Colorado Springs, CO

Heading up the Big Thompson toward Estes Park, CO

That's Mr. Elk to you! - Estes Park, CO

Nebraska sunrise heading home.

Nebraska truck stop (exit 312) had on display a piece of one of the World Trade Towers.

One of my favorite trip pictures. Me and my honey in The Garden of the Gods.

I have experienced so much this past week.

Through my experiences I have learned a lot.

Some of what I have taken home with me...

The world is a very large cup and I want to drink it up.

I am still truly, madly and deeply in love with my husband.

The best way to live is with eyes wide open.

There is much love in the world. Be open and receive it.

Children embrace life at a heart and soul level. Watch and learn.

Whew!

What a trip!

This was the view from our balcony at Cheyenne Mountain Resort.

Breathtaking.

Our trip started out quite well.

I spent the first morning relaxing in the room

while hubby went to a work conference.

We had a lot of fun and saw a lot of sites.

Then came my ambulance ride to the E.R.

Long story short...

illness +  dehydration 

led to off blood levels and irregular heartbeat

which led to faintness and numb extremeties

which led to hyperventilation

which led to oxygen, heart monitor and ambulance ride

which led to testing, medications, monitoring,

and ended with appreciation, respect, and many thanks to the awesome medical staff at Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs

and the EMT responders who work hand in had with them.

Came home a day early.
I'm exhausted.
Will post mountain pics real soon.


So happy to be back here with all of you!
