Ashley's visit
We had a great time in Denver seeing all the sights you can possibly see. Here are some snapshots of Ashley's week here....
We went out to eat in Boulder and it starting snowing. Only in Denver, can it be so hot during the day and then snow at night. Weird.
Here we are in front of the Denver capitol.
This is at the capital too. If you can read it... it says "One mile above sea level." They don't call it Mile High city for nothing.
I had to throw this picture on. It is of Ruth and this guy we met when we were out to eat. Lets just say he wasn't all there, but he made for great entertainment. I don't even remember his name, but this picture was silly. I love their faces. Sorry Ruth.
I LOVE FLORIDA (& everyone has let me know I have NOT updated my blog)
Hello from Gainesville, Florida. I am here for work. Its been a whirlwind month so far. Can't believe its about to be April. My niece came in town which was fantastic. I will have to tell you more later and put some pictures up tp view. I also have pictures from Florida, but i think i forgot my camara cord, so thats a bust. But, Florida has been a great trip. We have been able to do alot for work...its a new trip and a little risk in being new territory for us, but it has been so good and great to talk to so many people.
So Florida is pretty much the bomb. We all know that, but now I am sold on it. I tell people all the time that I am born for the beach. I mean, I love snowboarding, but in reality I love the sun and being outside and in the heat. I'm from Texas, what do you expect? But, I did not expect to love florida OR the University of Florida. This is a great and beautiful campus. the community and campus reminds me alot of Texas A&M, except there is sunny skies (not overcast) and palm treees. You can't beat that! So, when my time in Denver comes to an end (if it were too...who knows the future really)...here I come Florida!!!! (or Cali, but Florida might be affordable).
Pic of Florida sunset while I was there.....(sigh)...
I have been officially camping out at this place called the Swamp House - which is where I am right now. Now, here is the way to run a business in a college town. Its a restaraunt, OUTSIDE (with beautiful weather among trees and palm trees) and inside in this huge old white house. It is a bar at night and the trendy place to be. It also has wireless internet around and in it so people can go and check email or study on the second floor or around the bottom bar or whatever. They also have tvs everywhere making people come here to watch sports too. Its wonderful with great food and atmosphere. You should come. Its really rough working from here I tell ya..
I hope you all are well. My niece got accepted into the school she wanted to get in at D.C. That's weird,...I think she is really supposed to be at Texas A&M. But my job has definitely opened my eyes to other universities and other great experiences, but Texas A&M is still ranked up there. You should go to University of Florida now - okay, just kidding.
Alright, back to emails and tyring to find my camara cord. Have a good night.
forgot to tell you about my new hair
My friend, Stacey, just sent me this picture and it shows a little of my new hair. I decided to be a little more spunky and add low lights, but this time in RED! Its only on the top, so I can hide the streaks in a ponytail and it really is subtle.
But my new thing is I might be changing into a red head soon with blonde highlights. Its very new for me and might be a little crazy. I've been a blonde for a few years and I really love it and am used to it. Going red/brown would be a way to slowly go back natural, well.... I really have no intentions of being natural to be honest. Maybe its an attempt to be a darker hair color and just something new.
Elizabeth, send me a freakin picture of your new hair cut!!!! Its been a month and I need to see it. I am glad you are okay and out of the hospital. Hope you are feeling better.
Everyone else, I promise I am not as superficial as I sound on this silly blog talking about hair and celebrities. But that is just another part of life. AND I promise there are bigger things going on in my life, but I am just not ready to open up on the "blog" yet and to the world.
OMG, Its 1AM in Kansas, gotta get up in the morning.......
keepin it on the surface with red hair,
suzy
p.s. i miss you ruth. hope you have a better day tomorrow.
you know its been busy
You know its been real busy when I haven't put anything on here for a week. I have had full intentions for over a week, but work has been crazy for me and doesn't make me want to do much on a computer at night. I even thought being on a work trip (I'm in Manhattan, KS) would give me extra time possibly to update this darn "blog," but no not at all. So here i am. So accept my apologies, know that I love you, and i hope to do better (...or atleast once a week).
Kansas is good - its been busy. I am kinda leading 2 other great girls that are helping me this week. It has been wonderful and the girls have been alot of help and are hopefully having a great time. It does keep me more busy and on my toes having to "lead" and be in charge of other people and just be with people all the time. And it is just a busy trip with lots to do and get done. It is good experience though. I will be back in Denver on Friday - which is the same day as my wonderful niece is coming. I have great ideas on what I want to do with her, we'll see though. I will for sure let you know how the weekend goes and put up pictures for the masses. Life is so busy and fast for me during this season... I can't wait to sleep for a month straight though.... My life is exhausting. (...and yes, I would like some cheese with my freakin WHINE ;) )
I think I have also not been "blogging" because I recently felt a little freaked out and vulnerable on this thing. I don't mind it, but then it creeped me out to think, what if people are reading this that I know, but don't know they are reading this OR just complete strangers learning all sorts of things about me. It happens. Its the nature of the blog and the nature of putting yourself out there on the scary world of the internet. So i decided to keep on for now, and I decided to be a little less personal in some areas. I do think everyone should get a blog. I am trying to convince Ruth. She would be real funny. I think we might start a blog together under a different alias - it would have the real DIRT in our lives..... yeah, we will probably be too lazy honestly.... ot maybe we already have one.....oooooooo, wouldn't you like to know..... yes, i am clearly a dork. goodnight.
