So, while Chris and I were out in Colorado, my brother and his wife took me us out to see Rocky Mountain National Park despite the winter. Down in the valley of Denver, the temperature was in the 70s, but up in the mountains it was a bit cold. Still we saw some real beauty! I did alright in the altitude here, which I was happy about. I just thought I would share with you some of the beauty we got to see. It will make you want to visit. :) This here is a picture of a frozen lake.

Greetings in 2016 everyone! While I have been seeing everyone's posts and conversations about resolutions, I have been thinking about how my views on self-image have changed, even in the last few months. It is so important to be healthy. As Christians we have a lot of work to do for Christ and taking care of ourselves is a good way to get things rolling. With that being said, I have found that changing the way I view myself or the expectations I have about health has given me encouragement to become healthier. So, I thought I would share a few points that helped me a lot! Here goes.

Love doesn't always look warm and fuzzy. It doesn't always whisper sweet nothings. It sometimes takes drastic measures to bring you back and make you whole. Love will even let you go just so that you realize that you need it more. Sometimes you don't even feel it coming in and transforming your life. How do I know?

There comes a time when a person just wants to fit in a niche. We want to find a place in life where we belong, can grow, and excel. Maybe I am impatient, but I felt like it took me forever to figure out my life passions. I didn't grow up wanting to be a doctor or a concert pianist. I loved WAY too many things and changed my mind frequently.

I like old stuff. It survives in a modern culture and still remains classic. Old cities are a favorite as well. In roaming around Philadelphia the Old Town is probably my favorite section. It reminds me of Boston probably. It is fun to think you have walked where your forefathers walked. The struggles they went through to give you the opportunity to enjoy the day as it is. Freedom comes at a cost and I am appreciative.

In October Chris and I went into Boston for just the randomness and happened upon the Battle of the Bands in Harvard Square. It was crazy, loud, and packed! These people were really getting into this dude's song apparently.

I can't believe it's already December! Thankfully there have a been a few days where it is warmer than usual. Yesterday was one of those days. I went with Chris and his parents into the center city of Philly just to check out the Reading Terminal Market. Most of the time was spent scoping out different foods and just seeing what it was like.

A few weeks ago, Chris and I happened upon this town that wasn't like any other town we have seen so far here in Pennsylvania. I was determined to come back and get some pictures of the detailed doorways and stone work. Well, one cold November day I decided to do just that. I am apprehensive about getting pictures of buildings. Always have been, but I wanted to give it a try because these buildings were just that amazing.
