June - Friends, Family, and the Beach!

June has left us worn out and tired, but with a month's worth of incredible memories and unforgettable moments. Mid-June Sarah worked at a Christian eating disorder treatment conference in Colorado Springs. It was a great experience, and was more of a retreat style event than a conference. The event was held at the Glen Eyrie castle in Colorado Springs, which is worth a trip to visit if you are ever in the area! It was fun exploring the hidden staircases and narrow corridors leading to secret rooms and "servant quarters." Very neat!


The next weekend, we spent time with Chad, Michelle and their friend Ross. We went our new favorite spot called Ale House, which overlooks all of Downtown Denver. We also met up with college friends Will and Keri who were in town from New Mexico. 



Sunday morning, Chris put me on a flight to Pensacola at 5:00 am, and Dad and Christine greeted me at the airport. I spent Sunday - Thursday morning on the white sands beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama with my parents, sisters and nieces. We had a great time and again concluded we'll make this trip again next summer. Though, by popular demand from the nieces, Uncle Chris may need to make an appearance next year!

The pics are precious. Would you please email me the family one of Father's day? I bet mom was so happy to have all her babies, big and little (-one) together. Life is precious :-))
