Pondering Life

Hello all!

*Warning: This post is going to be filled with a lot of "I thinks" and "I feels". I've been pondering life a lot this week, and I may actually share some real feelings and thoughts that have been floating around in my head in this post...weird, I know. 

I hope you have all  had an enjoyable, or at the very least survivable, week. My week actually went by very fast and quite smoothly; it was an overall good week. This was my first week back in Colorado after going back to Minnesota for Christmas, and as guilty as it makes me feel to say this...it's really starting to feel like a home here in Colorado. I feel like I'm betraying Minnesota and all of the people I love there by using the "H" word to describe my life here, but I don't think I can deny it any longer. I know that it's probably a good thing, and I think it's something that I've been in denial about for quite some time. There was just a moment this week while I was driving by the mountains, (like I do every day; they're pretty hard to miss) and I had one of those heart twitching moments. Yes, heart twitching; one of those moments where your heart gets that fluttery butterfly sensation for a split second and you just feel genuinely happy, if even for a moment. When I get these heart twitches flutters (the word 'twitches' is too harsh a word for these circumstances), I can't help but touch my heart and thank God for everything good in my life, and even the bad, because without the bad, you can't as easily recognize the good. It was in that random moment, driving by the beautiful mountains like always, that I thought to myself: "wow...this actually feels like a home". *Shout-out to Minnesota and all the people there...I still love you, and always will, very very much! Minnesota will always be my "home home". 

I actually wrote the first part of this blog on Friday, and I was going to discuss a few other deep thoughts floating around in my head, but I don't currently have the motivation or brain power to contemplate them and turn them into words, so I will have to come back to these thoughts at a later time. Rain check!

My weekend has been good overall. On Friday night, Andrew and I went out for a little while around downtown Pearl Street. I haven't seen him in a long time, so it was nice to talk and catch up. Saturday was my running errands day which kept me busy, and later that night Amber and Eric had some friends over for a yummy dinner. Sunny and Doug, friends of Amber and Eric, are staying with us this weekend, and Sunny is racing in the USA Cyclo-Cross National Championships. Sunny stayed with us a couple months ago while she was here for a different race, too. Today, Sunday, as been pretty low key. I got back to bible study at church this morning which was really nice; lots of good discussion and it was great seeing everyone again. This afternoon I went to watch Sunny race in the pro women's race, and now here I sit at home preparing for the week ahead. The weather this week is supposed to be nice, so I'm looking forward to going on some walks with Torsten. 

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and regained enough sanity to power through the week ahead. :) I will think more about those "deeper thoughts" floating around my head and decide whether or not they're actually blog worthy...goodbye for now!
