Globe Trotter-or maybe just some of the US :)

So, today I decided that it's been like another month since I've posted... so I decided to go ahead and update the world on what I've been doing. :)

I also realized that I did not post pics of my journey around the U.S. while attempting to move. So this blog may have a ton of pics.

We have some good (family) friends about an hour and a half away from where we will be living in the "arctic circle". And so we went to stay with them for a few days. They have two kids who are just too cute. Here are some pictures of me and Shorty playing dress up. She had some old prom dresses that we traded off trying on. :)

This one is her "FAVORITE!"

This one, she said, "Now this one is REALLY big... it goes almost all the way to my bellybutton!" Her statement made a little more sense when I got it on.

Here is a picture of their boy "D" in Gpa's glasses.

"D" playing with Colt and Annie

 

They have 3 kittnes from the same litter. Romeo, ChickPea, and Teddy. Turns out they are all boys.

(And ChickPea's name is still ChickPea) :)

They have kittens that they insisted that I hold... This is Romeo and ChickPea.

This is something that I put together for my mom for the fall season.

They are called Mumpkins.

I've done a bit of site-seeing by myself, and the dogs of course. :) Although they acted like rabid banchees while we were out. So, they stayed in the car some of the time, so I could wander around without dislocating my shoulder/elbow/wrist/hand/fingers (from the pulling on the leashes). Annie's pretty good about the leash, but Colt... not so much. And he's to the point now where he pretty much rules me... :(

Here are some pictures of driving through Garden of the Gods.

For those of you who do not know what Garden of the Gods is, it is a group of red rock formation in the middle of white rock formations and hills/mountains. It's really interesting.

Then I drove over to Seven Falls. It was SO NEAT!

Pay no attention to the wierdo in the background. (It only took 10 minutes to get Colt to sit still enough to take this picture.)

On top of the falls, looking down.

Trails on top of the falls.

 I dunno about you, but I know if I see a bear... I will not take the time to speak to him or her...

 Whew!!!! Back down!

So, I think that is enough pictures for now... I hope yall enjoyed it! So now, the update is that we still don't know anything about our house, but Jay is going to come and get me, the dogs, and the camper (that I've been staying in) and bring us up there to where he works/lives and I will live in the small 1 bedroom apartment that is basically a 1 bedroom hotel suite. BUT... it is VERY nice. So I'm pretty excited. Anywho... that's it for now! Till next time, hopefully I will post pretty soon. :)
