Rocky Mountain High

Well folks, we're here! On Saturday night at 11:00, seven of us piled ourselves and our possessions into two cars and made the 16-hour trek to Denver, Colorado for our spring break trip. My shift of driving took place from 4:30-8:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, and thank goodness for Rihanna because she is the only reason I stayed awake. My friends Matt, Caleb, Mel, Lauren, Susan, Karley, and I drove to meet Jon (Susan's fiancé and our friend) at his latest home in the mountains. This morning we got our first taste of the great outdoors with a 6 mile hike at White Range Park in the mountains. Even though snow is on the ground in lots of these pictures (taken with the new camera!), the temperature was a beautiful 70 degrees, the air was fresh, the sarcasm was flying, the laughter endless, and we had a fabulous time. Friends, it doesn't get better than days like today!
