Hiking Summer

Did you know that if you shuffle up a deck of cards the chance of them being in order (suited and in sequence) is one in 80,658,175,170,943,878,571,660,636,856,404,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000? Interesting, right?

Okay, now that I've got that little fact out of the way (it had been bothering me for some time, so I finally did the calculation and shared it), it's time for a blog post. Yes, that's right, a BLOG POST!

I know this hasn't happened in a while - it's been over two months since my last post - but I'll try to make it meaningful. Without further ado...

On Saturday Josh and I took a hike on the Air Force Academy. It was a short hike (2 miles one way) that took us to the Stanley Reservoir. I forgot to take a camera, so I don't have any pictures to post :( . But you can take my word for it - it was beautiful.

I've been trying to enjoy the Colorado summer as much as I can. I remember how fast the summer went by last year, and it's amazing. I want to spend as much time as possible enjoying the weather before it gets cold again. We are so blessed as a family to be living here in this wonderful place.

I'm trying t0 hike as often as I can in order to train for hiking Pike's Peak, a feat which I hope to accomplish this year. I'll probably hike the same trail again tomorrow, so check back here for pictures on Tuesday.

Look for a longer post coming up this week...
