My Trip

My 2 dear friends and I finally got to get out of this town for a couple of days. We drove up to Flagstaff for the night and then went to a beautiful place called Slide Rock near Sedona. We stayed at a Hostel in Flagstaff. I have never done that before. It was fun. There were all kinds of foreign people staying there. It was freezing to say the least. I went to target to try to buy some mittens and the employee laughed and said "no,for what? its summer time now". . Then I laughed and said "are you kidding me?". He wasn't. They had not a single pair of mittens. Anyways. We went up there last year when I was pregnant with Larz and one of the nights we went out we met this super old guy that was in love with all 3 of us. He wore me out from dancing so much. Well, we saw him again when we went out this time. ha ha. He is a riot! We drove through this amazing canyon in the morning. There were these giant yellow plants that were breathtaking! The trees were pink and purple. Slide rock was exactly what I needed. We climbed down the river a ways and just relaxed and talked. My friends were trying to get me to hold their hands in a circle for a healing ceremony. You just look at each other without talking. I told them to take a hike with that idea. :) I dont think so. ha ha. I climbed out to a rock that I swear was made just for me. It was shaped like a bowl. I laid inside of it for a while and just took everything in. The wind was blowing, the sun was shining, and the river was moving so beautifully around me. I found some peace. Much needed peace. My friend Amy took a picture of me while I was out there without me knowing. I think it is amazing. It will always remind me of this time in my life. It is amazing to me how much nature really helps me when I am having a tough time. It is my band-aid. All in all we had an amazing time. Sorry for all the pictures. :)
