Updates

So I haven't updated in a long while. And Tammie was just out here harassing me about it so I'm going to update. Even though she won't see it for about another week and a half.

Saturday Greg and I went to the Garden of the Gods again. The last time we were there was when I was out here in September. It was a lot more fun this time. Greg wasn't so incredibly tired out.

So here are some fun pictures:

Garden of the Gods - The bigger formation

The mountains behind the park


This kind of looks like big toes in the rocks!

Pikes Peak from the park

Greg making faces. =)


Me (wearing shorts I haven't been able to wear since HS!)

And some self photography



It was a lot of fun. We weren't out there too long. Put it was good.

Other updates. Greg's put in for leave from June 21st to July13th. So we should be back in Michigan for the most of that time! We're so excited to see everyone again and all. =)

Greg's official leave date for Iraq is September 1st. So at least we have a couple more months before he has to go. I'm still hoping that by some chance he gets put on the Rear Detachment, which means he'll be staying here and helping out with operations on this side. Put I know that's probably just wishful thinking. But it doesn't stop me from wishing.

I'm running a little more regularly now. (Go figure - not about 2 weeks before I go on vacation for 3 weeks do I start running regularly so I can throw it all off again. Ha!) I got it in my head that I was going to run everyday from Monday to Friday this week. And I really feel like I have the motivation to make it happen (I don't know how - but hey! I'll take it.) I ran on Monday and Tuesday and then walking outside in flip-flops on Tuesday afternoon, I tripped over a stick and tore up one foot a bit.
Not a whole lot of fun. My poor foot, it looks so sad. It actually hurt a lot when I did it! It's still a little sore now. I haven't worn my running shoes really since - so I guess we'll see what happens today on my run.

So that's really my life right now. Greg has Friday off as a training holiday. And Micah's in town at the Air Force Academy and we'll be able to pick him up some time on Friday morning. He'll be staying with us for the weekend. Greg's really excited. It should be fun.

It's actually a busy time here. Last weekend Tammie and Thomas were in the area, so we drove to Limon (about an hour and a half away from us) to have dinner with them on Sunday night. They stopped by our apartment on their way through town so see the place really quickly on Monday. And Micah's coming in this weekend. And then next weekend we expect to be driving to Michigan! Yay!

Well, bye for now. I'll probably be in Michigan before I update again. I'm so bad at this. I need to get better. See ya!
