Taylor and Kelsey went back to Nebraska last night and their absence has certainly been felt around here today =( We had a fun several days with them: hiking our local "Castle Rock", driving in the mountains, taking in the local tourist attractions, going bowling, playing plenty of Spades and ping-pong and air hockey and Apples to Apples, leaving them with all of the younger kids one night to escape and go out on a date!, showing them around the ministries in downtown Denver (where Kelsey will be interning this summer), talking about wedding plans, looking at old photo albums, playing the "yellow car game" while driving about, enjoying warmer than expected weather ~ but sneaking in just enough snow for cinnamon rolls! The visit was fun and far too short. We've warned them that all of us are praying for Kelsey to fall in love with Colorado while she's here this summer (so she can go home and convince Taylor that they should move here after their wedding!) We'll see how that goes!
