I just reserved our train seats for the 3 hour and 10 minute ride through Pike's Peak in Colorado! :) I'm so excited! I also found a $5 off coupon so it will only cost us $28.50 each!
It's going to be one of the first things we do: Monday, August 17th.
Next week I plan to book our White Water Rafting Adventure... which I'm also very excited for!
Overall, this trip will be relatively cheap because we won't have any hotel costs and a lot of things to entertain ourselves can be done for free!
Some other things we plan on doing are:
A tour of U.S. Mint which is where coins are made.
A brewery tour (Miller/Coors)
State Capitol
Parks
Denver Zoo
... and many others!...

Concert in the Park
Every Thursday night at the beautiful Phoenix Park in Eau Claire there is a Concert in the Park. The past couple weeks, I have gone with some friends and last week we even had a delicious picnic. The following photos are from last week. :)

One Reason I Love the Farmer's Market!
I got this BEAUTIFUL bouquet of flowers from the farmer's market for only $3!! Other goodies I got at the market yesterday were raspberries, zucchinis (green and yellow) and 3 pounds of red and yellow potatoes. My entire purchase only cost $10. I like to make a trip there weekly - they have it three days a week at Phoenix Park. :)

I'm finally giving in...
All my friends as well as what seems practically the entire world have been talking about how great the Twilight book series is...
I thought vampires weren't really my thing so I avoided giving in to all they hype... but... one of my roommates loaned me the first one and I'm having a really difficult time putting it down! They really are THAT good.
So, by the end of summer I will have read the entire Twilight series. :) Yay for having extra time in the summer to read whatever I want and not textbooks!

The Year of Weddings!
So, next year apparently must be the year of weddings. So far, we have 3 to attend, 2 of which I will be a bridesmaid in! :)
The first one of the year is my cousin Amber's on June 25 I believe.
The next one is sometime in the summer (date is yet to be determined... but coming soon!) for my dear friend Lauren. I met Lauren here at school in Sutherland Hall and we became good friends, as we had quite a bit in common. Her fiance, Nate proposed to her when he went to visit her this Spring while she was studying abroad in Scotland. :) Nate and Lauren have been dating what seems like FOREVER... I believe ever since middle school. I am very honored to be able to share with them their special day. :)
The last of the year (thus far) on September 15 is my brother's. Jake and Morgan just recently celebrated their 4 year anniversary and Jake proposed to her around Christmas time. I was very excited (and of course honored) that Morgan asked me to be one of her bridesmaids on their big day. :) Morgan will fit into our family perfectly (however, she really has been part of it since day one!)
