Visiting Colorado

My dad came to see us, it was his first time visiting Colorado. I tried to take off us much time as possible from work to be with him, we did as much as we could and we visited as many places as possible. He was here 10 days, his visit ended suddendly as he was notified his brother was very sick so he had to leave. It was very exciting to have him here but by the end of his visit I was exhausted, I was pregnant, we were always on the go and to make things worst, Curly did not stop barking the whole time he was here. We will be waiting for him to come see us again and enjoy his grandson.

He was very impressed that it was August and

there was a lot of snow on the mountains.

Not that I love Casa Bonita's food but I do believe is a must go

when you have friends or family visiting Colorado.

Having so much fun..

We went for a walk to Park Meadows Mall

My baptism!!

I never knew anything about the church until I met my husband and his sister Dora. They talked to me about the church for four years but I was very stubborn and did not want anything to do with the church, I remember telling them that I would never join the church, I will never get baptized. Even when I finally opened the door to the missionaries, I told them that if they wanted to waste their time with me they were more than welcome to come in. Thanks to the patience, persistence and love from Elders Heaps and Elder Parker, I decided to be humble and get on my knees to pray and get an answer about baptism, when I got an answer and confirmation that it was the right thing to do, I emailed Elder Heaps (who had been transferred to a different area) and told him I wanted him to baptize me, he said he would do everything in his power to get permission from his mission leader to come back and baptize me, I'm so grateful that he got permission to come and baptize. I was a little nervous when I was ready to be baptize and he wasn't there, good thing he showed up immediately after and I was baptized as a member of the church.

Denver Nuggets Game!!

A co-worker told me she was given 4 suite tickets for the Nuggets game by one of the Property vendors (I think she likes me because she is a Packers fan as well) and she was only going to use two of them, she asked me if I wanted the other two so I could go watch the game with my husband, I responded I will gladly take them. It was a great first experience, it was perfect setting with food included. We really enjoyed the game.
