Colorado vacation and I missed Halloween!

Happy (late) Halloween! Lame, I know I’m sorry. This year is just flyin’ by and I can’t believe that the holidays are already upon us. I really didn’t even think about Halloween until the day of. I feel like I just totally missed this holiday. Usually I’d go buy some pumpkins to carve and roast the seeds, make some yummy new pumpkin recipes (including pumpkin ice cream) and be a little more in the fall spirit. It just didn’t happen this year. I hope that I don’t by-pass Thanksgiving and Christmas without paying attention. Sheesh!

In spite of all the busyness that has been surrounding my life lately, Andrew and I did get a chance to sneak in a little vacation in October. We went up to Denver to visit my sister and her husband, my best friend, and a few other friends who we’ve been meaning to visit. With my sister and her husband, we were able to get out into the mountains for a little hike at Golden Gate Canyon State Park. Man-o-man was I excited! As we started hiking I couldn’t get over how amazing the mountain air smelled. I just couldn’t get enough of it. It just made my soul so satisfied to be in the mountains, let go of all the junk that was happening in life, and just relax and enjoy those moments. It was glorious. What was also amazing was the fall colors in Colorado. It was just incredibly beautiful. The red and yellow and green colored trees were definitely a sight for sore eyes.  Needless to say, I needed that vacation big time!  I can’t wait to go back again, hopefully next year for a longer period of time!
