Mountains and Lighting and Mumford and Sons

One of the hardest things that I have to do since moving to Denver is saying goodbye to my friend Jacintha. She and I went to Bowling Green together, and I moved here a month before she had to move back to Ohio. Before she left Jacintha and I got to spend a wonderful day together in Fort Collins. On our way back to Denver we decided to detour through the mountains. The sun was just beginning to set, and we put Mumford and Son on for our traveling soundtrack. What happened next we both consider to be a huge gift from God to bless our hearts. Lightning and thunder. We watched and listen to a thunderstorm stay just in front of us. It lite up the sky and silhouetted the mountains. We found a Chick-fil-a for a late night snack. Finding ourselves in a blinding downpour, we caught up to the storm on the busiest part of the highway. The day was spent reminiscing about Bowling Green, remembering life changing conversations, awkward moments, and being so grateful for the people who have molded into who we are today. Such sweet memories.

Here is a picture Jacintha took on our mountain drive.
