right in tune

Made it to Colorado! I couldn't help but jump up and down with sheer excitement once we landed in Denver, even though we were only there long enough to catch our connecting flight to Durango, it just feels so absolutely wonderful to be out of Texas and the heat! I even did a little happy dance and sang  ' we're out of Texas!' over and over.

Right before heading out here, well for the last 5 days, the air conditioning in our apartment went out and the only way we were surviving it was by having silly ice fights in bed!

But, seriously the weather is perfect here! Absolutely beautiful, and we might even try to sneak off to Telluride on monday for a little adventure!

So here is to family time - dinner, coffee, rhubarb pie, boy meets world, tie dying shirts, and frantically packing and getting ready for India!

We leave for India on Wednesday morning!!

P.s thanks boomer & ellie for taking us to the airport! and jenn & pat for taking care of my little furry babies!

thankful for

being able to sleep in, saturday morning breakfast with my love, making our whole wheat pancakes into silly shapes like hearts, letters, and cameras, french press coffee, simply orange juice, and knowing that there isn't any place i would rather be

Indian Bazaar

This past Saturday we through a dinner party, an Indian Bazaar. Chris made homemade Naan, that was warm and delicious, well worth the three and half hours prep time. He also, made his famous Chai Tea from scratch, which is always a favorite in our family. I made artichoke hummus, palak paneer with lentils, massaman curry with chicken, and aloo gobi - basically broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and various other vegtables that are prepared Indian style.

We love having friends and family in our home, sharing dinner together, laughing, dancing to my favorite collections of bollywood music, being encouraged by where our friends are at in life - knowing that they are pursuing their passions, hearing what they are excited about and humbled that we get to have a small part in that, watching my friends fall in love with my kittens, knowing in my heart that they are supportive of me and chris and are hopeful for our time in India, and praying together, praying for us, and praying for our trip.

My heart is so humbled and encouraged by all the people that are in my life, the people that I call my friends, but are more like family to me. Thank you for being loving, being kind, and giving of your time, energy, money and film and being a beautiful support system that I can lean on.

love,
