Hikes, reenlistments, and birthdays!

Last weekend was quite special for us! At 6 am on Friday I joined Taylor's company in a 6 mile hike at Garden of the Gods. We took Ella along and enjoyed the perfect weather, the sunrise, and the scenery. After the hike was Taylors reenlistment ceremony. Here's to four more years in Germany!

Monday was Taylor's 27th birthday! We did a fun little hike up Helen Hunt falls and enjoyed the day together. I made birthday ribs for dinner and then we celebrated with birthday cake and birthday champagne with our neighbors, Emma and Frank.
