Valentine's Day is approaching!

For those of you who are trying to figure out the best thing to give your significant other for Valentines Day I have some great ideas I can help you out with! I have some really fun stuff that women will love from Mary Kay that is little hassle for you and little cost! If you need any help shoot me a note and I'll help make this Valentines Day a Day to remember!

The X Games

So the X Games were tons of fun! The drive into Aspen you see Buttermilk Mountain where all the X Game stuff is set up. Totally awesome! Everyone there was dressed to party! Snowboards, ski's and lots of fun food and vendors galore! Oakley had a tent and we got to try the new shades coming out this spring. All I'm gonna say is they are really cool. We got to the X Games just in time to see Shaun White do his last run on the snowboard competition for Day 1. That's him in the snow picture, wiping out. David snagged a free bandanna... imagine that... from Edge. Mountain Dew was flowing like the fish of Capistrano and free chap stick everywhere you went. We saw a guy with the biggest, blondest Mohawk ever. Kinda freaky but he may have been a little on the drugged out side. Who knows. Next year, we're volunteering to help out!

Aspen

We decided to be somewhat spontaneous and head up to Aspen for the weekend. There was a motive with it... to see the X Games. Our journey up to Aspen was uneventful. It was the hotel we got in Eagle that caught our attention. Nice for the price and very homey. Definately worth considering again. Our trip into Aspen (Eagle is about 1 1/2 hours away from Aspen) was beautiful. We went through Glenwood Springs which we may venture to tomorrow as well to hit the Hot Springs outdoor pool! We saw tons of great shopping in Aspen.... they even have Lush there! This great soap store mom took us to when we were in London. Every kind of soap and bath ball you could ever imagine. Not only did we get some soap...we got some FREE soap! That's the best. They were handing out tons of free stuff all over Aspen due to the games in town this weekend. All in all... Aspen was worth the drive.

Blizzard # 2

As I am sure most of you are quite aware, Denver was hit again this week by a blizzard! That makes 2 in 1 week. Goodness. Luckily Brooke made it out of Denver last Friday for her trip back to Wichita. We both made it back safe and sound this past Tuesday. Only to find out we'd get to spend lots of time together trapped inside! At least this time I wasn't all alone, with the cats.
We hope the snow finds it's way to your doorstep soon! Make sure you have a shovel handy.

Merry Christmas!!!

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year! Let's hope that Brooke get's out of Denver today so she can spend some time with family. Here's our tree and the gingerbread house we so painstackingly put together!! And of course, our santa, Gracie. She loves her shoe strings!

Rudolph's Revenge

So we are running a winter series race in the Denver area. The first was December 16, 2006 at Chatfield Lake. It was a 5K/10K. David and I did the 1oK (that would be 6.2 miles). The next one is January something, and the final one is in February. January is a 5 mile/10 mile and February is a 10 mile/20 mile run. Trying to stay focused to maybe do another 1/2 marathon or a full one this next year. Or maybe concur a few 14ers! We had company with us for the run... Celina from my work and Anne a friend of ours. WOO WHOO! Way to go! And what gorgeous weather we had. Here's to the crazy world of running. I think we may get addicted.

Adventure Blizzard

And no, I'm not talking about a DQ blizzard, I'm talking about 3 feet of snow in Denver blizzard! It started this past Tuesday night and didn't stop until noon today, Thursday. So, I have been locked in the house while David is in Omaha visiting family and friends. The cats and I have watched John Tucker Must Die and Little Miss Sunshine. I would definately recommend them both, but if you're not into chick flicks... John Tucker may not be for you.

I went up to the club house this afternoon as the sun was out and I needed to be somewhere other than my couch! The snow that had been shoveled on the side walk was up to to my hips. Yeah. There's a lot of snow. DIA is shut down until tomorrow at noon. My flight out isn't until 1:20 so I am hoping that means I get out in time for the Christmas season! There were like 500,000 passengers stranded because of the DIA shutting down.

Here are some pictures so you can see all the fun we're having!
