A Simple Summer

I think I've been feeling pressured to always have deep, meaningful and insightful blog posts....so, when I don't feel inspired or insightful, I simply don't post. But, there are other things going on in my life that I can post about...

Three years ago, I was nearly on my way to an amazing trip to Italy with my lovely friend Jennie. I can hardly believe it's been three years. So many crazy and amazing things have transpired in both of us since that summer...

And, while I'd love to say that I'm jetting off again to some amazing locale and while I'm desperately longing for a beach vacation, the budget's a bit tighter around here these days so, sadly, this summer does not hold a distant or tropical vacation. Instead, I'm planning a number of fun and small local adventures.

The first is next week when I relive my college days by driving seven hours each way (and within a span of 36 hours) to see one of my favorite new bands: Mumford & Sons. They're taking the UK, the rest of the world and, finally, the US, by storm...and I actually know the lead singer as he spent a summer working at my church a few years ago. I'm so incredibly excited for him and his band and CANNOT wait to see them live in next week!

In July, I'll be going to a friend's cabin for the 4th of July weekend and a few weeks later, I'll be in the mountains again for some camping, hiking, rafting and hot-springing! :)

In August, there's Jennie's wedding and a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater.

And, finally, for Labor Day weekend, two of my sisters are coming HERE to Denver!

I may not have access to an ocean this summer but I still have lots of fun things going on. :) Yea!!!!!
