Winter Whiplash Weekend

This weekend we experienced weather extremes. Saturday was a taste of Spring early with sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s! I spent some time in the sun completing some yard work out front (that I never finished in the fall) while Noah stayed inside installing our new kitchen sink faucet. It was time to […]

Additions

I uploaded some pictures from the high school era.  They are in the High School Days album.  Take a gander, leave some comments, rate, whatever.

Slowing Down? Probably Not.

I can now say February is winding down. This has been a very busy month for us with visitors, snow excursions and sporting events on top of our already pretty busy schedule. This weekend Noah’s eldest brother’s wife, Erika, stayed with us as she flew in from California to attend a teaching job fair in […]

Let’s Go Mammoth!

Tonight was the Colorado Mammoth game. And wow is arena lacrosse a lot of fun to watch! There were more Mammoth fans in the stadium than there were Avs fans last week! It was crazy! Lot’s and lots of cowbell too! Having never been to or watched a lacrosse game, I never knew just how […]

Now that’s what I’m talking about!

One of my favorite restaurants of all time is Claim Jumper. The nearest one to us in California was about 30 minutes away. Worth the drive every time. Last month I randomly looked up the restaurant’s website and lo and behold there is ONE in the entire state of Colorado! It was only about 40 […]

Lacrosse

As a follow up to my previous blog 3 Down, 3 to Go, apparently Colorado/Denver has two Lacrosse teams. The Mammoth are what would be considered an Arena Lacrosse Team as they play at the Pepsi Center (the same place the Avs play), whereas the Outlaws play at Invesco Field (the same place the Broncos […]

Smartest City in the Nation

Using data from Sperling’s BestPlaces, Forbes looked at data from the 200 biggest metropolitan areas in the U.S. and ranked them based on the percentage of the population age 25 and over with at least a bachelor’s degree. Boulder, Colo., may seem like a surprising winner, but it’s no ordinary university town. The University of […]

Resolution Complete

This year my New Year’s resolution was to get contact lenses.  A week ago I went in for my eye exam; today I had my fitting “class”.  They started me out with trial pairs to see if I like contacts since I have never had them before.  Next week I go in to see if […]

Evergreen

Last night we headed to up to Evergreen to meet up with two other couples from our bible study group.  The group leaders have family in Evergreen, so we crashed at their house in preparation of a snowshoeing expedition.  This morning the 6 of us headed up some mountain (I have no clue which one) […]

3 Down, 3 to Go

Last week a restoration company that Floorcrafters gives out referrals for gave Noah’s office tickets to two Avalanche (NHL) games.  Noah scored the tickets for last night’s game.  So off we went to Denver in the snow, arriving just as the first period ended.  The seats were awesome, center ice and 20 rows up!  Only […]
