Rocky Mountain High



My two sisters and I went to Denver for a few days this week. We had a great trip. We went hiking, shopping, eating, and river-rafting. We all agree that the highlight was the river-rafting. We rafted on the Clear Creek River and because of a mix-up we ended up on the advanced trip. Please note that I am most definitely a beginner when it comes to river-rafting. We were on a raft with two other women and our trusty guide. He called us the Dream Team, but I'm pretty sure I detected some sarcasm in his voice. We encountered a couple of small falls on our trip, and much to my horror we did not beat the odds at 50/50 Falls. Two out of six stayed in the raft, and I was not one of them. I even have the bruises to prove it. The rest of the river voyage was less wet and much more fun for me. It was fun to spend some time with just my sisters. I am so thankful for them (and the rest of my family), but let's face it - there's just something different about a sister.

In other news, it's our first anniversary today. Our first year has flown by, and we are still glad to be married :) I came home from Denver to a spotless house and a husband who had planned quite a gourmet meal for today. I love him and am looking forward to many more years together.
