Our time in Colorado went by so quickly. We stayed in Ft Collins with Chad and Cristine, you guys are the best!!! I got to play with Jake and chat with Luke, I even got to watch him do his Veggie Tales dance pad. Something that is not to be missed. He is one great little guy.
We took 3 trips to Denver and went to the funeral, out to eat with lots of friends and spent the last night having dinner with Jay and Ad which was by far my favorite part. I just love them. They are so amazing! I say that alot but I am at a loss as to how else to describe them. There is such a peace when you are with them even though you can feel the grief the peace is so evident and they are both so transparent and honest. A real treasure. I did get to play with Em and a new paint kit she got in the mail from a friend - that was definately another highlight. Thanks for sharing Em. The wonder of a child in the midst of creating is always a joy to be a part of. All of Jason and Adrienne's family are just wonderful. So many godly people willing to do whatever it takes to be there for the ones they love. I am so glad we had the opportunity to go. Continue to pray for them as they begin to get back into their life again.
Now I must send out a HUGE thank you to Cindy and Wesley for caring for our crew while we were gone. They have 4 of their own and then took on our 3 and inspite of all of my kids hang ups they all said they had a great time. PTL!!! Usually they freak a bit when we have to leave them. Also thanks to Teresa who took Sage after school so he didn't have to hang out alone and to Joanie and Doug for bringing them home last night and putting them to bed for us. Wow! We have such a great bunch of people in our lives. I am thankful.
Well, here is the shallow part of the post and one in which I struggle to write. I have been wooed by another. You know that I have a special place in my heart for coffee, especially Starbucks but thanks to Chad I have now put another in it's place. Yes, it is called DazBog. I really can't believe how good this coffee is. I will still be drinking my usual Starbucks since I don't live in Colorado and Starbucks is available here, but I will continue to long for the DazBog's once my pound is gone. Thanks alot Chad! Here's to good friends and great coffee. Later!

Glad to have you back! wow, you are blessed that so many stepped up to help out. Someone actually cleaned your house for you-that's amazing. Although, I have such control issues that I would be a basket case knowing that someone saw all of my "dirt". Thank God for good friends.
So glad you are home safe and even a clean house waiting for you. So great to see both of you! You are a treasure to so many people. Hope things go smoothly as you jump back into reality!
Awww, I love you my new friend. I have had you close in my heart nonstop. I was so touched by your friend Ad's words on her blog. You are a treasure beyond what you even know or realize. I am blessed to have found you even if you are many, many miles away. I hope we can continue to share our hearts and our lives. I will think of you and pray for you each morning when I drink my cup of coffee :) You hold a very special place in my heart that few have found. I know God has brought us together for a reason. I know it's a good thing. By the way, I think the only maid I've ever had is my mom. I know you no longer have your mom so I'm so thankful that you have precious friends who love you enough to bless you by doing the things that we as women need to make us feel loved and cared for.
Once again your words have touched deeply.
It was good to see you and Rock, even though we didn't get to visit with you all. On your next trip, we definitely need to do that.
How nice that someone cleaned your house for you! It is so nice to come home to a clean home when you've been away, isn't it?
BTW, I'm a TOTAL Dazbog fan!
Kim, don't you have three kids?
Hi Kim, It is nice to blogspot meet you! Thanks for the comment. I hope you have a great week.
Yah! Sage made it to the blog! My guess is that you had to catch the little bugger to get a good picture of him huh?
There's nothing like a good cup of coffee!! ...or a clean house!
Glad you got to spend sometime with good friends. Our thoughts & prayers have been with Jason and Adrienne!
Cristine is one of my favorite people in the world and I miss Chad's coffee recommends...amongst other things. I enjoy a good Starbucks coffee too but I am sure Dazbog rocks!
BTW- hope you don't mind the "blog invade"
Your kids were/are a pleasure and a joy. Thank you for trusting us enough to care for them...you are always so willing to help me out as well. We're happy to do it ANYTIME!
Cindy
