Christmas 2009

I'm working on recovering from Pacific Time to Eastern Time, but in the meantime, enjoy this fantastic shot.

Chillin in Detroit

We've been here for a while and now our crew isn't here. Soon enough, we will be back in the Ville.

Stayin' Alive

Finals week. UGH. I have 2 tests tomorrow (Head & Neck Anatomy and Hygiene Theory), and then 1 test every day through Friday. Brandon has the uber-dreaded PATHOLOGY exam tomorrow. (That class is a totally ridiculous nightmare). Our eyes are crossed, our brains hurt, and I believe that at some point during the week, one of our heads just might actually pop off.

Feel free to send candy, homemade dinners, or maybe just a Valium or two. (Just kidding... about the candy and dinners...)

Back to the grind.

Here goes nothing.

Huber Fun

A few weeks ago, we headed up to Huber Farm to pick some apples and punkins. It was really nice being able to spend time with the man and wander around. We played horse shoes, shopped in the little country store, picked/ate apples, and rode the tractor trailer out to the punkin patch.

Throwing a ringer...

Racing the rooster

It was really funny when he couldn't get off of it

Yee haw

Yeah, I couldn't get off of it either...

Y'all ready for some football?!?

B played on the intramural team again this year. It's always really fun to go and watch. They did really well and ended up killing everyone on their way to the championship game. As the result of terrible call after terrible call.... really, we said they should just pick the winner and end the game- the class of 2012 walked away empty-handed. (Super Bowl XL, anyone?)

B sprained his left ring finger really bad and then sprained his right ring finger a few games later... pulling those flags can be dangerous! It was so great to go out and support my superstar.

Go Beanie Go!

The pitch...

Jukin' 'em!

Touchdown!

About to catch another TD pass...

Bday

It's almost Brandon's birthday, so I really need to get the blog caught up and post my bday. It was one of the best yet. It landed on Labor Day weekend...bonus. We have a home where we can have people over to celebrate...bonus. I have an amazing husband who wants to make my birthday special and memorable...big bonus. The whole weekend was wonderful. On Sunday, we had a BBQ and celebrated the big 25. Delicious burgers and hot dogs were served, and everyone brought a side to go with it. There was also football, hillbilly golf, and of course, Brandon's superb home-baked cake and cupcakes. Thanks B... it was a birthday to remember.

The Browns. They're the bomb.com

J-Dogg flexed his muscles for me on my bday.

Hillbilly golfing

Check out that cake. He's a pro.

Summer 2009: Colorado

While B was on the trail, I was enjoying major girl time. I got to hang out with my sister and my mom for the week! As soon as they picked me up from the airport, we headed to the Omni Hotel in Broomfield. While there, we did the usual: massages, room service, laying by the pool, and shopping. Heaven. We also went to the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. It is the most paranormal hotel in the country (you Ghost Hunters fans may already know this.) This is the hotel where Stephen King got the idea for a little book called The Shining. Creepy place. Also, if you watch Dumb & Dumber anytime soon, pay attention to the hotel they check in to when they take out a few IOUs. Jim Carrey didn't even make it through the night in this place while filming.

We also got to really check out Downtown Denver for a couple days. We enjoyed the 16th Street Mall, people-watching, the Capitol buildings, and a Rockies game.

I have way more pictures, but it seems they're all on my phone. I'll have to work on that one.

Good seats, Mom!

It was a beautiful night for hot dogs and a game

Rockies won!
