We arrived in Denver quite early, when the morning rush was in full force. People were going to their jobs and we were rolling in to town to be tourists. It was very cold out and windy, so walking around was almost not going to happen. We managed to snap some pictures while driving through. We finally found a parking spot and walked around for quite a while, being tourists.... read more

Our First Day "On The Road" Well, I decided that it would be fun to get a bacterial infection in my cornea yesterday and today!!! Yipeee! So I went to the doctor this morning and he told me there was no way I was leaving the state for 2 months without treating this yeatch. Im going back to see him tomorrow and hopefully he will give us the "OK" to hit the open road. So our first official day of our trip was spent in a dark room (my eyes are sensitive to light) with no TV on (again, my eyes are sensitive to light) and no computer! (you can guess why...) Good times. My eye is feeling much better, however, as we have been dumping prescription eye drops into it all day long...things are looking ... read more

today i'm writing from colorado, where i'm staying with tracey and her family just outside denver. it's pretty warm here comparatively, yesterday when we arrived it was 50 degrees farenheit, which was nearly t-shirt weather compared to all the temperatures i've been in recently! (though today it's back down to freezing!) in ann arbor it was the worst, days were between -15 and -25 celcius, so basically it was too cold to do anything. one day when school was cancelled cos of the cold, we took my cousin's kids to a play cafe, and while walking from the car to the cafe my wet hair started to freeze! that'll teach me for refusing to use hairdryers... a highlight in ann arbor was going to the outback steakhouse, which is meant to be australian. i'd heard ... read more

I moved back to Colorado and Travis and I prepared for having the Tipi. We finished what he had been working on while i was away and leveled the land in the sand pit Trav had built out of old telephone beams. We also built a nice wood storage shed outside of where the Tipi door would be placed facing East. The Tipi arrived and we learned how to heat and ourselves and through trial and error we experimented with three heat sources. Waking up to silhouettes of the windmill and falling asleep to owls were among some of my favorite moments on Blacktail. I got a job working at a health club doing childcare with rich high energy children and Travis continued to act in various forms in the Denver area. Our chill lives were ... read more

So. One morning we were in class and our director mentioned to the girls that one of the guys small groups decided to bless us with a gift. He said we would know what it is when we saw it but not to try and find out who it was as they wanted to remain anonymous. We were all wondering what it could possibly be and later on that day we roamed back up to our lodge and infact there was a suprise. The most amazing, loving thing which blessed us unconditionally was plastered up in our bathroom. It was beautiful. On the window were things the guys had written for us and around the mirror was everyones names and the meanings - it spoke so much to us. In sharing it i hope you are ... read more
