My mommy came to visit.

My mom was here this past weekend and it was so good! She lives in California and has for most of my life so I've always only been able to see her a few times a year. Since I've been on my own it has been even less frequent than that. So needless to say, my time spent with her is always precious.

I have been trying to get her to move closer to me for a few years now, but convincing someone to move from California to Illinois is not as easy as one may think. However, now that we live in Colorado I am giving it another go. While she was here she seemed to really enjoy it and felt really comfortable since Denver is like a little mini slice of California. She seems interested in moving but not until next year so I'm crossing my fingers!

I took off work while she was here so we could go hiking. Here a few pictures from our adventures.
