The cats

So, we have 2 cats.. Gracie and Scuttle. Scuttle is 12 and Gracie is 1 1/2. They love to fight and destroy the house. As you can see.. Gracie is the evil looking one. She encountered her first dog this past weekend. She wasn't quite sure about Spencer, but decided he was pretty cool after all. Scuttle did the usual... she hid in the closet.

Decorating

David and I went to the Cherry Creek Arts Festival this past weekend. Lots of cool paintings and art work.... but neither of us could understand how you pay that much for a bunch of splotchy paintings. So... being the crazy creative one that I am, I made a trip to Michaels and bought some canvas, paint brushes and acrylic paint. My next task is to create some really fun paintings for the house. The one is almost done, and I am hoping that my efforts are not in total vain. Pictures to be posted soon.

Lovin' Colorado

It is finally summer here and the weather is AWESOME! We are so excited to get out and go camping soon.... there are fantastic camping sites all around the mountain range. If any of you are in the mood to come and camp with us... just let us know! We have a tent big enough for 20. Yes, you read that right, 20. We hope to see you soon!

Reception at Kathy's

Kathy had a shower for us (my old boss at First Data) on Saturday, April 29. It was such a lovely shower.. friends and more friends came to support us and bid us good luck! It is so great being married, and we are so blessed by your support! Thank you for all you have done to be apart of our lives together.

My other job...

Just in case I haven't shared with you my newest adventure, I have started my own Mary Kay business on the side! So... if any of you are in need of a consultant, or would like a free facial and makeover, send me an email, or check out my own website: www.marykay.com/brookerenae. I'd love to do a facial on all of you (and besides, what female doesn't love to play around with new make-up?!)!!

Bridal Shower

I didn't realize how fun bridal showers could be until I had one thrown for me. My dear co-workers, Carolyn and Maggie, organized and held a very sweet and dear shower. The gifts were awesome and the fellowship priceless. Thank you ladies, family and friends who've sent gifts and cards... your thoughts are greatly appreciated!
