we went and visited the united states air force academy, which was a pretty neat place! the chapel was, by far, the coolest part:
then, we headed over to this place called "the garden of the gods." it's basically just tons of huge rock formations that were amazing! we took lots of pictures...i picked some of my favorites to share: 
this one is called the kissing camels...see their head and part of their bodies?
ryan and dustin (who is one of ryan's oldest bestest friends, who's visiting this weekend from the west side of CO)saw this rock formation and decided to climb it. once they got up there, they decided it felt a lot higher than it looked from the ground. i, as the photographer, said that once they got up there, it looked even smaller than before. 
then they climbed out on this one, which a far bigger feat! very impressive! 
while they were climbing, these young scouts walked by (btw: there were boy scouts EVERYWHERE!)..i got a few shots of them for ruthie-just in case things don't work out with david-lol! 
just some more pictures...
ryan made me take a picture of this:
notice the tiny auburn decal-all the way out in CO!!! hooray!
finally, there was this lady that we happened to notice at the air force academy and then again at the garden of the gods (which was about 10 or 15 minutes from the academy). for some reason she stood out to all three of us. we cracked up every time we saw her...gave us that feel of a theme park or something. it was very strange and she looked very out of place. see if you can spot her:

as far as jobs are concerned...no prospects yet...Stephen and I were actually just talking about this earlier today and it is really a blessing in disguise as we have been more flexible to help my parents ready their house to sell and also be available to help my mom as she recovers from two surgeries this month...without the stress of jobs too. so all in all we are doing really well...celebrating two years of marriage this week!! hope things are going well on your end...it looks like it is!!

What a cool looking chapel. The building is quite unique. The rock formations were beautiful and remind me of Rock City in TN. Now for the lady.....are you referring to the one in the "beautiful" top? LOL
BTW: Ruthie would do well to date a Boy Scout. :-)
(if this post twice, I am sorry. I tried once and thought it posted, but my computer locked up. I am posting again.)
