This past weekend Erika and I were blessed to have the opportunity to go back to my home town, Dothan, AL.
We came into town to surprise our good friend Colleen for her 25th birthday, and were joined by some other very dear friends.

| We took these two pictures for Colleen and had them framed and signed for her birthday! Unfortunately the only thing missing is herself and Kurt (her lovely, the wonderful man that paid for our flights home) |
 |
| Friday night we went the the National Peanut Festival! The night was complete with boiled peanuts, the most amazing corn dogs known to man, elephant ears, and lots of rides! I had not been in several several years and had forgotten the joys of our fair. It was so amazing to share it with Erika and give her more of a taste of good ole Southern culture. |

Thankfully we were able to stay a few extra days and spend time with my parents. Because of Erika's love for mini golf, part of that time was spent by playing an exciting game of putt-putt!
 |
| My first of 4 holes in one! |

| Posing with the Elephant at AdventureLand! |

| Even though I'm not that competitive... winning still feels good :) |
It was amazing to be with our best of friends and family for a long weekend. We were able to experience so much together and Erika and I both were not ready to leave when the time came to go back to Denver. We were greeted back in Colorado with chilly temperatures and snow! Maybe some of you guys don't care for that so much, but I'm from Alabama and I LOVE the snow because we never had any.
