Air Force Academy

We live close to the Academy and today was graduation.  The Thunderbirds put on an air show for the academy and guests and because we are close we got to see some amazing stuff!  Here are my lame photography skills.

Our Trip to the Mountains/ Adventure Saturday

The husband and I went up into the mountains last Saturday.  I took my DSLR and tried to play with it.  What I got was a LOT of black pictures but a few turned out.  Next month I am taking a photography class.  Hopefully that will solve the black pictures mistake.

A Hard Week

I just don't know if this will get any easier.  I miss my Mother and sister so much.  I am overwhelmed with so many questions.  Did they know I loved them?  Did I do all I could to make Jetta's last days as good as they could be?  I could have done more, I could have been there when she died.  So many regrets and questions.  They sort of torment me at times.  I must leave it in God's hands.  This week reminds me of the complete unknown of what was happening this week 2 years ago.  It feels like yesterday.  We had no idea what to expect or what to do.  She always expected to live and yet she was dying for weeks.  Why did I not experience this last year?  We were so busy selling the MIL's house and the husband was gone a lot and I was alone.  I was in denial.  Then we bought a house and moved to another state.  But back to two years ago.  It went by in a blur.  I still wonder what I missed during that blur.  Did I miss something that would make this a little bit easier?  I have tried to think of what that might have been.  So not only did Jetta die this week, it is also the anniversary of my mother's birthday.  The first one without her.  It is a tough week.  I need to look at pictures and enjoy what they were in my life.

Mother's Day Colorado Style

We have/had 6-8 inches heavy wet snow.  The trees had leafed out and they were looking like they might break, especially the aspens.  A little more snow tonight then maybe we can warm up a bit.  I really don't mind the snow.  I like wearing my boots!  No one should feel sorry for us because we might have 70 degree days in January.  This is really what it's like in Colorado.  I love living here.
