Sweet Home...Colorado




I have been living in Colorado for the past 2 weeks (with one more to go) doing lovely AF things. It was an unexpected trip - I found out 6 days before I left! But my adventures here have been super fun. Not only do I get to do cool things at work, but I get to be a tornado survivor!

Last Saturday, I went to lunch with my grandparents friends and while we were at lunch, they noticed a funnel cloud (see above)...this eventually turned into a tornado and destroyed a mall - even flipping over a car! Since then, almost every day here has rained and thundered and lightninged. Some days the sun decides to say Hi and then super-big rainbows come out (see above).

Another HUGE perk of this gig is that Buckley AFB has no billeting (lodging) and no chow hall (foods) sooooo I get to stay in this really nice Marriott and drive a cool car. Usually people on these trips don't get a car and have to rely on other people to take them places, but not me! I went to the outlet mall and bought way too much things, and today I am going to walk around downtown Denver! Just 5 more days until I come home...which I am glad because I am starting to miss Hank...
