Below is my, yet again, mass update in reverse order from most recent October to way back in August. This further defines that I am a slacker with blogging. If I weren't so inconsistent the pictures might be in a better order, sorry! Please note Di I have held to my "at least one blog per month" haha, I'm trying.
October
"Major updates" would be reaching a quarter of a century.....and short hair!! I had enough to donate my hair again, so I went for the chop! Oh AND I got a NEW job with The Children's Hospital!
My sister Julie will appreciate this photo because it was taken from my computer in a coffee shop so I could email her while she is in Acapulco, MX for her Yoga Training with The Bikram School of Yoga...she's amazing...and I will get to visit her for her graduation in November!
Hysterical....a flower birthday cake! Are you surprised that one of the first things I did was pull out a flower to see if there was real cake underneath?! There was not, haha!
HUGE thank you to everyone that made my 25th birthday so special here in Denver, love from Baltimore, Severna Park, the greater Maryland areas, Virginia, New York, etc!!
The cards, flowers, balloon, package, phone calls, blogs....so thankful for each of you!

Alex and Sonja in town my birthday week!!
(Sonja and I sporting our recent thrifty finds...mine is a 1987 Broncos crewneck sweatshirt, awesome I know! ...don't worry I still am supporting the Raven's....c'mon Flacco...lead that offense...and Ray Ray...keep your boys on top of their game to defend that defensive title)
View from our rooftop at sunset
The bright yellow are Aspen trees, gorgeous.
This was along the drive up Pikes Peak near Colorado Springs, CO
Jeeper made it all the way up Pikes Peak, at 14,110 Feet!!
Yummm....famous doughnuts at the top of Pikes Peak...they were a bargain, we couldn't resist. Delicious too!
19 degrees at the top....yes it was cold and there was snow everywhere
Nice scenic point along the mountain
Close up of an Aspen...lighting wasn't the best to capture the golden/bright yellow color.
Sonja and her home as her and Alex travel the West Coast then back to the East Coast...woodie!
Kathy and Kyle came to visit!
Happy 2nd Anniversary!
Huge Elk just chilling in the field in Rocky Mountain National Park while visiting with the whole Young family

September
Roomies take the Light Rail downtown to celebrate KC finishing the National Counseling Exam which she passed!! Congrats!
Sunrise at Mt. Evans
Julie and I at Summit Lake at Sunrise....it was cold....good thing I brought the fur!
This was as far up that we could drive because of the weather they have already closed the top of Mt. Evans (above 14,000 feet aka "14er" in Colorado language)
Check out those peaks in the background
Julie along one of the many stops on the way down from Mt. Evans
Gorgeous views all over, this was a random lake on the way back down the mountain.
Angie and Rob also were in town one weekend, but that was when my old Casio camera was on the fritz
Susie (new friend here in Denver) and I on a hike to Bergen Peak through Elk Meadows Park in Evergreen, CO. You may notice two cute little pups in carriers with us.....so these are Susie's dogs Bentley and Ziggy, they were great sports and hiked most of the way with us. We were determined to hike to the top before it got too late or stormy....so we decided they should rest a little as this was there first "big" hike. Anyways, we laughed hysterically and entertained many other hikers while we were carrying them!
This was the hike where I met Amanda, OT....a divine appointment....and so began the process of my new job developing with The Children's Hospital here in Denver!!

One of the many gorgeous views from The Broadmoor at the base of Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs. We enjoyed a nice lunch there as we were treated so nicely "Ms. Kammerer it will only be a few minutes before we have your car ready for you" Note to self....future girls trip?!
After camping in Moraine Park of The Rocky Mountain National Park, Lauren and I hiked to Cub Lake....known for the lily pad covering.
What a great week off with one adventurous girl willing to explore so many parts of Colorado with me!!
A prairie dog - if Alicia could have taken one home, she would have...Bode needs a friend, right?!
