The Sculpture House

This is a picture of the Sculpture House on Genesee Mountain in Colorado. It's a crazy architectural piece of history from the 1960s. It used to be a residence and is actually still on the market as one, even as it is owned by a foundation and used as a high-falutin' events hall type of thing right now.

It's also one of the coolest landmarks in the state in my opinion. When I was a kid, we used to drive up to a time share in Winter Park with all my aunts and uncles and cousins. We always knew we were getting close when we got to the "Jetson House." It's also a favorite with out of town visitors. They always ask, "what is that?"

The Sculpture House is private though and you can't just drive up and walk around in it. But guess what? I GET TO GO INTO THE SCULPTURE HOUSE! That's right! My mom, being a certified kitchen and bath designer, got invited to a home show sponsored by Benjamin Moore Paints and she got to choose one guest to go along with her. AND SHE CHOSE ME!

I'm so psyched. We're going tomorrow and hopefully will get to take lots of pictures. I can't wait! We'll see if the Sculpture House is worth its hype tomorrow.

The Month of July

WOW! The last time I had time to post was almost exactly a month ago! How is it that summer can be both simultaneously relaxing and jam-packed? Whatever the case, that's how our July has been. So, I'm going to pack all of July into a single photo-filled glance:

1. We had an awesome July 4 at my Gran & Gramps' house. We also celebrated Gramps' birthday. It was incredibly fun.

2. We then went on our road trip and it was a TRIP! Lili did great in the car and the camp was so much fun. Tommie and the guys did a great job leading worship and we met so many great kids. Tommie even got into the spirit of the talent show night...

3. My sister, Kendra, and her husband, Josh, joined us in Nashville at Gina & Greg's (family friends) house for an incredible weekend that was an awesome dose of family togetherness. It was so great.

4. We bought a HOUSE! Haha. That's right. We will be closing on our new house sometime in the beginning of August. Surprisingly enough, I don't have pictures of it yet, but will in short order. We'll rent out our condo and start loving and living in our new abode. It's in a great school district and has a fenced in backyard for our outdoor-loving puppy. I think it's going to be so great. God truly, truly blessed us with this investment.

5. That's actually about it. We've had a week or two to catch up from our roadtrip and then we get to celebrate our anniversary on August 19. We've almost been married two years! So, it's a very wonderful month behind us and a very wonderful month ahead of us!
