Colorado!

I was lucky enough to get to go to Colorado with Allyssa this past week. I flew with her and her 2 cats so the little furbabies wouldn't have to spend almost a week in a uhaul. A few hours of anxiety is much better than a few days. That being said...I never want to fly with a cat ever again.
 

While there I was able to meet a few of Allyssa's friends (who I quickly adopted as my friends/my babies). I was taken around Fort Collins, a town which I am trying to get both my mom and my husband to move to in the next few years.There was an outdoor wedding reception, where I learned that the altitude change causes inebriation a lot faster than I expected...

Ben is ether the most giant person on the planet, or I am very, very short. I'll leave that for you to decide. (I am short.)

My favorite place, by far, was up in the mountains outside of Boulder. 

The rock I'm standing on is actually off limits - I think the exact conversation went something like asking Allyssa if I was allowed out there, her telling me no and she was not going to be responsible for calling my mother and telling her I fell off a cliff, and then her yelling at me as I ran out there anyway.

And of course being the daredevils we are, we had to pose for pictures while out there.

I have never had more fun in 5 days than I had while I was in Colorado. I hope Allyssa is prepared for a Seattle adventure sometime in the near future, because I have every intention of showing her how amazing my town can be as well.
