weekends are glorious.

there we were at the egg and i for a little post shopping brunch...

when we decided we needed to take a little trip up to the mountains.

we didn't know exactly where we'd end up, but we we got in the car, filled up with gas...

grabbed a big gulp...

...and off we went.

(it still blows my mind that i live somewhere with this kind of view)

our travels took us to idaho spring...

a quaint little mountain town

with cute antique shopping...

...and adorable outdoor seating like this everywhere.

apparently, they're celebrating the 150th aniversary of the gold rush this year.

and now for a few shots from around town...

all in all, it was one great saturday afternoon.

did i mention i really love colorado?

because i do.

fast forward to today...

it's sunday evening 6:58 p.m.

i'm here alone with my pandora playlists to keep me company.

i have a feeling i'll be here for most of the night...

(i just adore this little corner of my room- that old man chair is such a gem)

reading, thinking, praying, writing.

i need some refocus time, that's for sure.

time to reminder truth like this...

"going through the motions doesn't please you.

a flawless performance is nothing to you.

i learned God-worship

when my pride was shattered.

heart-shattered lives ready for love

don't for a moment escape God's notice."

ps. 51: 16-17

thank you God for the weekend.
