Being locked out of one’s website is no fun. I’ve finally made it back in! I may or may not recap the last 18-months, but if I do, the posts will be retroactively dated. Cheers!

Hail Again!
In the nearly 12 years I’ve been a resident of Colorado, we’ve never had any hail larger than something between pea and marble – mostly pea, at home. Denver and the plains are another story (you can read about last year’s hail storm here). That came to a end on Monday. Monday evening a storm […]
The end is here!
Hey guys! I did it! I FINALLY finished graduate school and completed my Master’s Degree! This has been a long and slow process! I’m so glad I did it but even happier that it’s done! To honor all of my hard work, we flew to Indiana to attend the ceremony. What an experience! I’m so […]
Total Eclipse of the Sun!
One thing that’s always been on my bucket list is to see a total solar eclipse, complete with the coronal flares. I’ve seen pictures of this event online, but it never seems to occur in North America, let alone where I live! Growing up in California, I’ve seen more than my share of partial eclipses, […]
Baseball, Balloons, and Theater!
More from June… Logan’s baseball season started. This year he moved up to softpitch, from t-ball. His team is the Cubs (the only times you’ll find me rooting for a team other than the Dodgers is when it’s based on Logan’s little league team. We went to Frederick in Flight for the first time, which […]
Happy Place
One perk of working at a school is summer breaks. These breaks provide ample opportunity to camp. This past week we visited my happy place: Steamboat Lake. If I could afford it, I would buy property up here in Route County. This is God’s country. Seriously gorgeous! This trip, we were joined by some friends, […]
Memorial Day Camping!
We love to camp (or glamp as we traded tent camping for a camper)! Colorado has so many options and what better way is there to spend a holiday weekend? This year, we went to Eleven Mile State Park. The weather was a bit chilly and damp at times, but we had an electric site […]
Good news, bad news
Well friends, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that State Farm declared my car totaled, with repair costs bumping against $12,000! It was close. For my car to not be considered a total loss, the repair estimate needed to be under $11,000. Sigh… But now for the good news! After […]
Mother’s Day Camping
Normally, Mother’s Day weather is the crap here in Colorado. Last year is actually snowed. Thankfully, this year the weather was hot (80s) and sunny! So, I decided to start a new trend – Mother’s Day camping! This year we didn’t go too far but stayed at a small campground in Larimer county on a […]
Hail!
May 8th was a dark day. literally. The skies were black and angry over Denver. And then the clouds opened up and dumped not just rain, but hail. Large chunks of it – golf ball sized in fact. The hailstorm lasted for 30-40 minutes whilst I stood inside with my colleagues commiserating over the fate […]
