Family + Georgetown Colorado



I miss my family all the time, they all live in New Mexico and we are here in Colorado. I choose not to move to be with my family, because of my sons dad. They have a healthy good relationship on a weekly basis and don't want to take that away. With that said, its hard. Its hard being away from my family, so when they do come the time always flies by way to fast. This year I talked them into coming the very begging of Fall. I wanted them to see the changing Aspen in the Rocky Mountains. So that is what we did! We were a little late in the season, so alot of the Aspen already turned and fell to the ground. However we did get to see some in spots, so totally worth it.

I love the mountains and go many times a year, it truly never gets old. There is something about it all, the hush the silence and detachment from the big city. The views are breath taking and I'm luck enough to say its my home. We spent the night in Georgetown, Colorado. A very small town, tucked away in the heart of it all. We were less then a mile from the scenic by pass called Guenella Pass, its this pass that was just beautiful. Took tons of pictures and wanted to share this day with you all.

Rocky Mountain National Park // Aspen Viewing


I was raised in Texas, in a very small town. I rarely ventured out of this small town, rare occasions maybe once a year. It was just too long of a drive to try and enjoy any kind of other city life. Then I move here to Denver Colorado eight years ago. My whole life changed, in more then one way. One of the many things I seriously love about Colorado is the fall time. In Texas, leaves never changed colors, because 90% of the leaves were Pine trees. Here in "Colorful Colorado" seeing Fall time for the first time literally took my breathe away and still years later its enough to bring tears to my eyes.

It is just beautiful here, bursting with Oranges, Yellows, Reds, Purples. So many colors to see and one of the best things I had always heard to see was the Aspen trees changing colors in the mountains. I had never viewed them, specifically taken a trip to enjoy them. Till this year. Caleb and I packed up and traveled to the mountains to view the changing colors of the Aspen trees. We drove to The Rocky Mountain National Park and headed to the great divide. We finally got too see the Aspen and it was a amazing experience and will be doing it again next year.
