this was actually a part of our advent calendar, for the last week before Christmas, jordan and i took turns writing down secret dates for one another. (here is another date from our advent calendar) jordan chose one that included making foil-pack dinners over the fire. jordan made them, but i think all he did was put in lots of veggies and some salsa and wrapped them up in foil and we placed them in the fire until they were nice and toasty. it was very good.
although we recently took down our decorations, i couldn't resist posting a few more photos from christmas, it's still january after all. 
it didn't take long for these little flowers to shoot up. i hope they stick around for a while.
a photo of a salad i had last week, i just loved the complement of the red and green.
sorry, for not posting as much recently as i was in the beginning of the month. we need to travel somewhere else so that i have more to share other than my lunch. but, i think these things are fun too. so, i have resolved to share the little things with you as well.

i can't believe i managed to even get this many photos from this hike, every time we took a break i couldn't do anything but catch my breath, and adjust to the new altitude. i ended up going on this hike with four guys. i'm still not sure how it exactly happened, but jen had to work in the morning, and cody, the backpack guy in this post mentioned that he was going hiking again, and i'm pretty sure i invited myself. i was anxious to explore this beautiful place, and i am pretty sure he mentioned that it would be difficult, but i definitely didn't hear it. the next morning i called jordan to tell him the situation, and that i would be spending the afternoon with the guys you will later in the photos...
can you see the city of Denver in the picture above?
here are the guys, one of them practically ran up the trail, and it took everything in me to keep up. they were really great about taking breaks and even taking my backpack towards the end! i am really glad i decided to go, especially at the top, it was crazy to be able to see everything in sight. although i think they might have been taking bets wether i would make it or not.
here is my first post about this hike: bear peak
and here are links to other posts from my trip to see jen: hiking in colorado, hiking in colorado part two, the meadow, dreamy & sunny colorado, colorado! colorado!
i hiked up that peak, that one right there on the right, it was called bear peak. i was so impressed with myself, until they told me that they didn't even call these the mountains, but the foothills. they called these "mountains" the flatirons, located in Boulder, Colorado. The flatirons are the slabs of rock that you see. It was absolutely beautiful, and one of the hardest thing i've done yet. i can't wait to share more photos. you can find more information on this trail here.
it's so cold outside, and it's no fun if there isn't any snow on the ground. come back snow.
okay... i hinted about it here, gave a preview here, and it started here, so now i present the photos from the meadow! i loved this hidden meadow amongst the mountains, this is what we hiked to and it was worth it. i apologize for the overload of photos, but you should really see how many there actually were. enjoy these and jen and i frolicking in the field.
cody, the guy in this post (well, you can see his back of his head in a few photos) took the photos of jen and i, i love when people take a lot of photos... thanks for doing that, cody! and jen took the ones of just me, way to capture the light, jen! what a fun afternoon! and don't worry, i still have more from colorado! an entirely different hike!
