Casey Runs the Pikes Peak Ascent!

Some of you may think Casey is crazy for running 13 miles up the side of Pikes Peak to begin with. However, what about a summer day in Colorado that is 40 degrees and SNOWING!!! Check out the picture, why is he wearing SHORTS and no hat?! He is insane. Lots of people got turned around because the conditions were so bad on the top of the mountain. However, speedy Casey got up in time, 3 hours and 27 minutes. He is amazing, I tell you. Look out Phoenix, we will be coming for another marathon in January! (Sorry the pic is not so clear, there was limited visibility and fog during the race.)

WAY TO GO, CASE!

Summer Fun!




Casey and I went on date night to this awesome new restaurant in Old Colorado City called Pizzaria Rustica. It was like a little Italian pizza place. I for real felt like I was eating at a little cafe in Rome! You need to go...its yummy!

Computer Problems!

Hey Friends! Sorry that it has been so long since we've posted. Its been a crazy summer. I have been trying to post pictures for the past few hours, but for some reason it wont work. Computers... gotta love em. Soon you will see summer camping trip, young life camp, julie's wedding weekend/charleston, and fun in C Springs from the Summer.

For those of you who don't know yet, I have started managing at Pottery Barn, which I love. After working there for 3 years part time, I was offered a management position. I am responsible for all of the upholstered and occasional furniture. Its so fun! I'm still volunteering with Young Life, which is great. We just took kids to Lost Canyon, and a girl I've been walking with all year, met Jesus! It was incredible. It makes all of those hours of contact work totally worth it.

Casey starts back teaching in a few weeks. He's excited for a new class, but not ready for the summer to end... you know how that goes. Can you believe its august? Yeah, august in CO with no AC, pretty steamy. Global warming is for real! :)

I promise we will be better at posting. Please keep checking our blog.

Mandy, will you put us back on your blog?! :)

Love,
laura
