Wow, our first full week at the Inn went by so quickly! We’ve made multiple new friends (both visitors and locals), washed a lot of dishes, changed a lot of bed sheets, learned new dance moves in our dance class, and seen many sweet guests come and go. It’s been such a fun week. Royce and I went on our first mountain bike ride the other day. We rode around the entire lake that the Inn sits on… its 6 miles. And may I just say that a 6 mile bike ride in the mountains is NOTHING like a 6 mile bike ride in Texas!!! I haven’t been that worn out in a long time. Of course my stud of a husband did fine, but I definitely walked my bike up a few of the steep hills. :)
One of our favorite parts of this past week was a devotion David did with our guests one morning after breakfast. He talked about how everyone experiences storms in life that keep us from focusing on our daily walk with Him. We thought it was neat that he chose the word “storm” because it was an actual storm that turned our little world upside down right before we left for Colorado. We both felt that God knew what He was doing when He laid it on our hearts to work at the Inn over a year ago. David continued his devotion by sharing part of Matthew 6:30 where Jesus says, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” We decided to make this verse our theme for the summer because while we are here to work this summer, we are also feeling so refreshed by being here. It was a perfect time in our lives for us to come to a quiet place and rest. How great is our God and our perfect is His timing!!

Yahtzee is our game for the summer... I don't think a day has gone by that we haven't played. Can't wait for you to play with us in a few weeks, Dad!
My new bike/early birthday present from Royce! It definitely made those steep hills a lot easier than they could've been!
After dance lessons Monday night.

A day trip to Montrose with Crink! It's 2 hours away and also holds the location for the nearest Starbucks! (Thank you for the gift card Gram and Pop!)
