Currently....

I stumbled upon a teaching blog Oh, Boy 4th Grade that had a neat little thing featured each month called "Currently". It sums up everything you're currently doing/thinking/feeling and I love the idea! So, this is currently what's going on with me. 


But, just as I finish uploading the picture, it began to snow. So currently we're all snuggled on the couch watching it snow! 

I suggest you check out Confessions of a Teaching Junkie for a tutorial, so you can all share what you're currently doing! 

What are you currently doing?

Starting off Spring Break in Colorado...


So, we left the Flint Hills of Kansas and traveled to Divide, Colorado for Spring Break and celebrate my husband's return from Afghanistan. We've rented a cabin for a week and have enjoyed breath-taking views since we arrived. Our 492 mile journey included.... 










 





Giant wind turbines along highway 70 in western Kansas. These things were huge and there were hundreds of them.

A train speeding alongside the highway.

More of the giant wind turbines.

Clay was on a mission to arrive at the cabin before sunset. 
We stopped once for food and fuel. 

 Colorado State Line
Our first glimpse of the Rocky Mountains
Clay was hugging the white line on the drive up the mountain.

Colorado Moutain Brewery on the way into Colorado Springs. 
(Stopping here for dinner one night.)

We ate at Red Robin for dinner our first night in Colorado.
Yum!

The living room of the cabin and our view for the week.

We have some awesome hosts! So far we have found $13!
One was hidden in the beam in the middle of the ceiling.

 I'm in love with this kitchen!

I was afraid a bear was going to walk up last night while we were in it.

We can't wait to see what adventures await us in Colorado!
