Red Rocks

I love Colorado. It is beautiful. There's always something going on and new places to see. One of the places I was most looking forward to visiting when we moved here was the Red Rocks Amphitheater.

We got to go in July and it didn't disappoint. It is an awesome venue and such a fun place to see a concert. Michael and I went to see Citizen Cope and OAR. We love CC and OAR put on a really good show.

I can't wait to go back.

Happy Birthday Dad!

I'm late. My dad's birthday was a couple of days ago, but I couldn't post about it because he was here visiting and we were having way too much fun.

So, in honor of his birthday week I want to share a little about him.

• He's the most sincere person I know. What you see is what you get. All the time, no matter what.
• He is strong and hardworking. I love that he taught me to get dirty and get things done. 
• Steak and potatoes are his kind of foods, but he loves to try new things. And he could eat seafood any day of the week. 
• He is a real cowboy. That's pretty cool in my eyes. 
• He puts aside his own feelings, likes, dislikes and opinions to make other people have fun or be more comfortable. 
• He loves his family unconditionally. And he welcomed Michael into the family with open arms.
• He's always makes me laugh...usually when he's not trying. 

Today and every day I'm proud of my dad and blessed to have him in my life. 

What I Miss...

I'm an Oklahoma girl transplanted to Colorado, and do you know what I miss the most about home?

It's true, friends. I LOVE Taco Bueno, and there is not one anywhere near me anymore. Sad day, I know. I literally crave this stuff multiple times a week, and I think it's becoming a problem. If I don't get some Taco Bueno soon I seriously don't know if I'll make it.

If I was there right now I would order a mexi dip & chips, a party taco and a coke. Then I would rejoice, eat it all and maybe order it again. Do you want to hear the worst part?! My dear husband travels all over this great country, and one of his frequent stops is in Kansas City. He stays in the same hotel every time he's there and guess what is directly across the street from him? I'm sure you guessed correctly. A dang Taco Bueno. He sends me photos, eats there all the time and breaks my heart. It's now a rule in our house that he not speak of it when he's there.

I know this may be a difficult love for some to understand. But I am not ashamed. And I will eat at my absolute favorite fast food restaurant again someday, hopefully sooner rather than later.
