Denver to Indy

Finished off the last night and morning in Denver and prepared for my 18 hour drive to Indy.  Thank you Stacy and Drew for the very relaxing time in Boulder.  I always have a blast hanging out with you two and enjoy the great conversations we have.   Boulder is a beautiful place and every time I go there I feel centered.  I don't know if its the location, the people I get to hang out with or a combo deal but it always helps get my mind straight.

As I pulled away from Denver I looked back and saw all the snow that I drove through just a couple days prior.  I had a bunch of you ask if that was really what I drove through in the middle of June... Here's a picture for you from afar!  Legit! haha.  It was so pretty and I kept trying to take pictures without stopping but it just wasn't working.

So I got out :)

Too bad I didn't stop before that beautiful gigantic sign hanging in the pic, haha.

The day was perfect for driving and its a good thing because I had quite the drive ahead of me.  I wasn't sure if I'd be able to make it 18 hours to Indy but I was certainly going to try.  I had woken up late and took longer to get ready than I anticipated, so that was going to make it tougher as I would have to drive all the way through the night again.  Oh well, gotta try!

My dad kept lecturing me on pulling over and sleeping if I needed to and I heard it from my sister as well.  She said  "you cant change peoples lives from 6 feet under ground." My dad said  "Don't try to be a cowboy out there, pull over and sleep if you need to... A cowboy can't ride his horse while sleeping can he?"  The logic was piled against me so smacking myself repeatedly and shaking my head for an hour was out of the question this time.  Shucks!  I have a picture to insert here but I'm saving it for my new website that I'll be launching in 6 months... I'll reference it then!

Around dinner time I was going to be near Kansas City Missouri.  I have never heard much about it so I figured I'd pull over and check it out!  To my surprise, it was actually an amazing place.  I ate dinner at this micro-brewery called The Foundry at McCoy's and had an amazing Oatmeal Beer.  It was perfect and I wanted to buy some bottles but they are too small of a brewery to bottle.  Hopefully some day soon :)  I would drive back just for that beer!  I sat on the HUGE patio dining area... Very chill and laid back feel but young at the same time.  I had some good conversation with the tenders and met a guy from NY doing business there.  He told me about Foursquare... So I "checked in" to the place we were eating as my first check in!  Fun Fun.  We exchanged info and will be doing business with ViSalus together in the near future! Boom!




From there it was another long hike to Indy where I was going to be meeting Don and Rachel at their new pad.  My very good OLD OLD friend from about 5 years old, Laura Scouden, also lives there with her husband and new little addition so I was looking forward to meeting up with everyone.  On this leg of the journey, I took everyone's advice and took a 20min nap when I got too tired to stay awake while driving, haha.  Such great advice!  I got in at 7am and couldn't wait to hit the pillow... What a crazy trip so far!  Loving catching up with everyone and seeing my family :)  Love you all!



It's easy to be successful... quite possibly easier than being unsuccessful. All you need is a shift in your mindset!
