Middle of where? Nowhere...

I found this place as I was driving through rural Illinois and had to stop.  Some weird fascination with rundown places that no one lives in anymore.

Garden of the Gods

I was in Colorado this week and spent my time down in Colorado Springs.  While I was there I went to this place called Garden of the Gods.  It was amazing.  I am always so blown away by the beauty that exists in nature.  And, the natural scenes in CO are incredible and one of the many reasons that I want to one day live in the great state of Colorado.





The pictures do no justice to the things I saw, but I hope that in some way you get an idea of what exists out there.  It is so cool to think about what has been created and what there is to appreciate in the world around us.

Weekend home...

So I just spent a weekend home with my family.  One of my younger brothers returned home from a church mission to Argentina.  It was fun to see him again, and funny to see him react to the difference and have the "culture shock" that was so evident.  He would be amazed by the smallest things: milk in a carton, carpet, the house being a bearable temperature.  It was quite humorous.  Anyway, as I was home, I took the following pictures.  None of him, sorry.  But I really liked these ones!



This is my niece, Megan.  Where she learned this face I really have no idea, but I laugh every time I see it.

Random side note: this past week I was in Colorado Springs, CO and went to a place called Garden of the Gods.  Expect to be seeing pictures of that amazing place soon!
