Right on time

The first official day of Fall is September 21st. Here in Colorado we know that without a doubt. Summer has been kinda rainy but mostly sunny and beautiful as Colorado summers are. But as Fall comes, the weather sure didn't take long to change. Yesterday was dreary and cold. I walked out of Walmart about 11am and WOW, it was actually snowing! Today no snow but it sure was cold with a high of 44 degrees!

I went hiking the other day through Palmer Park and another sign that Fall is here...



The leaves are already changing!





For work I organized an Indoor Rock Climbing event for the members at the Country Club. I went with one of the servers and we were the only two that showed up. Neither of us had ever been to this place before so the lady at the desk told us we could just boulder if we wanted to so we agreed and walked into the facility. We stopped and looked at each other and asked "do you know what bouldering means?" Lol it was funny, we had to walk back to the desk and ask the lady! Apparently "bouldering" is when you don't use ropes or a ballot. So we went and watched a few other people climb to get the idea of what we were supposed to do. Everyone had chalk bags they were using so I walked over to a little boy with one and got chalked up, Vickie followed. He gave us a weird look and took the bag away. I didn't really think anything of it so we started climbing. After a little bit I needed more chalk, so I went to the front desk again and asked the lady if they had chalk bags back behind the desk or if we could use the bags out there...she told me that all the bags out there belong to those people, they bring them each time...Whoops! Now I know why that boy looked at us like that...we used his chalk! We went and told him we were sorry, we had never been here before and he was okay with it. What an experience!






Even though no one else came we had a blast! I have only rock climbed once before when I was in high school. It was pretty tough and after 40 minutes my arms were already sore.


Here I am climbing away! :)




Oh yeah...only 26 days until Mike and I are married! :) YAY!!!!!

Jen, Me & Sarah
