September-
September brought about a trip to Colorado. I have to admit, I could totally see myself living there and raising a family in the small town of Salida. About 2.5 hour southwest of Colorado Springs, it is a quaint little town with 360 views of mountains. The wildlife is incredible and there are several Jeep trails to drive on. We explored until we couldn’t walk anymore. I left my heart there. I can’t wait to go back.
Here are some of my favorite photos:

Octobber proved to be a lot more eventful, if you can believe it. The beginning of the month was pretty uneventful, but leave it to me to spice it up. I made it almost one year and I managed to not only bang myself up pretty badly, but my car as well. Since I posted pictures, I thought that I would explain it here what happened. So here it is:
On Wednesday October 28th, I was on Northlake Blvd, heading east when I got to the intersection at Congress Ave. As most of you know…its a pretty big, and busy intersection. Anyway, as I got to the intersection, I noticed a woman in a small red car head into the intersection (I had a greenlight), so I wasnt sure where she was going. I knew that right away that I was about to hit her if I didn’t act quickly. So I attempt to slow down and honk my horn. The whole honk the horn thing failed, because on this particular vehicle, I didn’t know where it was, so I pushed on the steering, which produced no sound what so ever. So I swerved to avoid hitting her. Keep in mind that I was in the far right, straight lane. While all this is going on, I noticed that she stopped so I thought she saw me. I mean I’m not hard to miss, BIG AND RED, you’d have to be practically blind to miss me. Anyway, she didn’t see me, and hit me on the right front tire/1/4 panel area, causing significant damage to my car and I think she might have totalled hers. It wasn’t a fair fight though. I’m WAY bigger than she was!
This whole thing wouldn’t be so bad, if the moron cop hadn’t given me the ticket. He said that he could not determine whose fault it was, so he had to go based on what the witness said. Wanna know what the witness said: my light was yellow…HELLO MORON, IF MY LIGHT WAS YELLOW….HER’S WAS RED! I am PISSED about the ticket, more than I am the accident. If he couldn’t figure out whose fault it was, than don’t write a ticket. But he did because he said “I have to go with what the witness said”….ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
So I’m fighting the ticket! Can’t to let you all know how that goes.
As for me, well, I made it safely out of the crash, with some bruises on my left hand, right knee, some whiplash hand four dislocated ribs from the seatbelt! DEFINATELY could have been worse. Nothing broken, so I am counting my blessings and thanking the Lord for keeping me safe. I know that my guardian angels were with me!
OH…here is where some picture of what happened are located!
