In the Rockies!

the gingerbread village made by: Dan, Alyssa, Ben and Emily.


he's KINDA a nut...


ummm....my favorite thing of ALL time...Godiva Hot Cocoa with chocolate dipped pretzels...can't beat it!!! We even had steamed milk from Alyssa's espresso machine! :-)



oh sissys....




Well, i'm writing this "blog-date" (my version of an update! :-) from the base of the majestic Rockies in Denver, CO! We drove out this morning after i gave a riding lesson (a little chilly!) with my parents and sister. We stopped at a friend of the families house and now we're in a SUPER fancy Super 8! (NOT!) LOL! oh well, at least our condo in Summit County is nice! :-)





We're going to head up the mountains in the morning and stay for about a week...I'm really looking forward to some fresh powder and hot cocoa with a little rum! :-) We've been running around like crazy the last two weeks getting ready for Christmas etc.,.. and this is going to be a nice break. Here's a few pictures from our "holidays" for you to enjoy. We had a great Christmas and spent the day with Dan's parents and grandma Christmas morning/afternoon and then spent Christmas evening at my parents. We had ENTIRELY too much food (as usual!) and really had a great day.





Dan's Christmas was even better the day after Christmas though. :-) We deceided to get something together instead of getting each other really nice stuff and Dan finally got his new TV..LOL! He was like a kid in a candy shop picking it out...it was really quite funny. We sat up until 1AM putting the credenza and hutch together for the TV stand but we're really happy with how everything looks now that it's all set up. :-) I think we might be having a super bowl party at our house this year...keep in touch for future plans.. LOL!




Well, i won't be blogging again until next year so we hope you have a FANTASTIC new years and we'll talk again in 2009!

10 Strange/Random/Weird things about me...

OK, I know that I'm weird, but I think it DEFINITELY runs in the family! :) She's just as goofy as me! Even my best friends are strange! Sorry Sarah! Couldn't resist! :) OK, so Sarah Mast tagged me in one of her blogs and now I have to list 10 random or strange things about me. Well if you know me well enough, you know that I'm just WEIRD/RANDOM period. Oh well, I'll do it anyways! :) This is for you Sarah! 1. I don't like watermelon or pickles. Which I know are American classics and it's weird, but I can't STAND the texture of them! Therefore, no go. 2. I HATE clowns. They terrify me. 3. I'm scared to death of chickens and think they only should be allowed to live to be able to eat them later. ( I was attacked multiple times as a kid by chickens, ask my sister!) 4. I LOVE to go hunting and shoot blue rock. I can't shoot anything besides birds though cause there's no way I could shoot Bambi. 5. I also love smoking cigars. Swisher sweets ar

Last Beautiful days of Summer break...

Image
Well! I've really been enjoying my vaca from school (hence the no blog postings lately..Sorry!) and i'm really bummed to have to go back on Monday. I've been enjoying my horse-time every day and NOT having to study! Oh well, it'll all be over in about 8 months... yeay ! :-) Here's a few pictures of our " shinanigans " over the last few weeks... That's right...I'M REALLY HOLDING MY OWN FISH!!! but Damon was so kind as to take it off the hook for me! ;-) And please notice that Dan's fish is MUCH smaller than mine! (Actually, Damon and Greg told me how to hold my fish to make it look bigger in the picture...it's really about the same size as Dan's it just looks much bigger :-) Ha! Anyway, hope everyone is having a great summer thus far, Adio's for now!
