SUMMER ROADTRIP

It's good to be back! Two weeks ago I flew into Denver, Colorado where Steven came to meet me. I was given a warm welcome from him and his cutest brothers. Daniel, 6, and Isaiah, 11, have the funniest personalities. For a week I came to get to know Colorado. I was able to finally meet his dad who joked around a lot and gave me the "Royal Treatment". They definitely made me feel at home. I've never been so grateful to have met such wonderful people and I hope to come back soon. We explored the Red Rocks, downtown Denver, Boulder Creek, the town Steven was born, and I got to see a few thrift stores (My favorite!). Items at thrift shops are ridiculously cheaper there compared to ones at home I found amazing bargains. Some will be added to my shop so please sure to check it out and spread the word! (:

After a tearful good-bye we went on our way to Yellowstone to meet with his mom's side of the family. What was supposed to be an 8 hour drive turned into a 12 hour drive since our cabin was on the west side of the park and we came from the east entrance. With traffic and 130 miles of land, it seemed like forever. By that time we were exhausted and a little worried about not being able to find our way since we were losing signal on our phones and it was growing dark out. I took out the tour guide map and navigated the traditional way. Meeting his family was a blast. Everyone was so goofy and they would apologize for being so crazy then resume their antics once again. Although they figured I'd probably run off after finding out what kind of people they are I think meeting such amazing people the past 12 days has made me  grow to love Steven even more so. 

I will cut the stories short and let you guys take a look at my adventures.

The other day my boyfriend Steven and I were killing time and hanging out in my room.  I leave to go get something and as I walked back into my room I noticed he was hunched over my desk doing something.
I realized he had gone through the art box sitting on my desk and was attempting to write with my calligraphy pens.  He was using the very fine detailing pen to write and I started freaking out, worrying that he would damage it.  I explained to him which ones to use and how to use them.
A guess he got fed up with trying and began to start drawing with them...(shakes head)
He decided to draw a portrait of us but refused to let me see it until it was complete.
Around the middle of his little session he yelled out, "AWW MAN! Hey, do girls wear belts over their skirts because I accidentally drew you with one.."  I smiled, trying to hold back laughter, and told him it was possible for belts to be worn over clothing.
After about twenty minutes he finally showed me and I laughed so hard.  It looked as though a child had drawn it.  He then resumed to the desk and found my color pencils and decided he would add finishing touches.  Upon completion he said how it was probably the most effort he had ever put into a drawing.  It found it funny that he evened bothered to sign it.

(apparently this is his daily thought process...)

I'm pretty sure he's going to hate me for posting this but I just thought it was just so darn adorable.(:
