Wedding weekend with the College girls...
The weekend has been wonderful with old college friends. I laughed so much between being on the B team and the HP Husbands.Here are some pictures from the weekend. Don't they say a picture is worth a thousand words.... or something like that.
Here are all the girls at the rehearsal dinner. Pretty silly at times. I won't even go through the names of people. They are all great. And sorry, most of them are taken and now married (and even have babies). ;)
Oh, the traditional roomate pictures. I lived with these girls my Senior year of college and still to this day, we are taking "Roommate pictures," It's great.
Most of us were in the House Party (or B team) and so we wore black. It looked great in pictures though. Somebody asked if we coordinated it. HaHa. Here is Kelly and I doing House Parties duties...cutting the cake with our cool food service gloves on...
And here is all the xo girls there at the wedding. Isn't she beautiful! And aren't we all pretty hottttt!!!!? jk
That's all for now. I will be working tonight pretty late and then I fly off to Cali early early in the morning! Wheewwwww. Hope everyone is doing great.
No! Sleep! til Brooklyn!!!
Why do I do this? Why can't I sleep when I travel anymore? In Denver, easily I can wake up 10am or 11am, but in Texas.... I get up 7am and 8am and with the time difference that is just plain ridiculous. I will spend this weekend in a hotel room with friends and hoping for some quality sleep, but I just don't know if I can get that now. So weird.
US Womens Open
Today I went and helped out with taking the TSTL Urban kids to the Womens US Open Junior Day at the Cherry Hills Country Club. It actually was the first time I ahve ever been at a nice country club or been on a golf course. I know, I am totally pathetic. But it was cool. Got to meet John Elway and get his autograph, got other golf people's autographs. I really didn't know any of them until today. But now I might watch it on TV and pretend to be a fan.
Here is Susie #1 and me with some of the kids we were with....
Here is John Elway teaching about golf. He taught with Jill McGill (i think thats her name). They were both so funny and making fun of themselves....
Here is Annika Sorenson.. She has won the past few years and is projected to win this year. She had quite the fans following her around and trying to get autographs.
And here is Michelle Wie (sp?), she is the youngest golfer there. She's 15 yrs old.She also hada following there...
So there was my day...It was fun and now I like golf a little more and tempted to play a little........ BUT now I am off to catch my flight to Texas. See y'all soon ;).
Past Weekend
It was a great weekend. layed out in the sun, hung out with friends, went to Colorado Springs, and ended it with The Melting Pot last night. It was so much fun, I am a little stressed today to get everything done at work and get ready for my long long trip. Sometimes I just can't wait to not travel anymore... atleast for work... vacation travel is very different.
Here are some pictures from Saturday night. It turned into Girls Night Out Downtown... it was a blast! (Ruth, you need to get back up here! Are you sure about going back to Texas??? ;) )
Here is Me, Kristin, and Kim! They are great.. I just wished I lived closer to them so I can see them more often.
Have a great Monday! It will be slow on the blog due to travel the next 2 weeks. I'll try!
Success
I finally was able to work out this morning BEFORE work. Woahhhh... It might be the new trend in my lifestyle... It felt so good.
Yes, call me crazy...
Soooo... I am thinking about doing a marathon. I am looking at doing my first in Austin, TX. I could see my family (you can all come cheer for me :) ) AND I could probably breathe better there in comparison to the high altitude here. So I have until Aug 1st to sign up for the discounted rate.
The marathon would be FEBUARY 19, 2006. You can look it up at www.motorolamarathon.com if you want to find out more OR if you are interested in joining me :) . That gives me 247 days to train, although I probably wouldn't need to start training until November....
I am doing another Triathalon this year in Denver on July 17th. I am looking foward to that and am in pretty good shape this year. My swimming has very much improved, although I still have not mastered the freestyle. (Mastered isn't even the right word... I just can't plain do it.... breast stroke and side stroke for me). I have been thinking about taking a swim class to improve and learn.... hmmmm....
I am looking into some other races too... The Muddy Buddy in Boulder - bike & run through mud....sounds fun and... messy!! That is at www.muddybuddy.com. That race is on August 21st....
Thursday morn
Hello all,
Just wanted to let you all know I will be coming in to Texas on Tuesday, June 21st evening and then will be there throughout June 27th morning. Thanks to Liz/Les for letting me borrow their car. Hope you are having fun in Myrtle Beach! I am jealous and wondering daily why I am not on the beach somewhere at this moment.
I will be working for some of the time in Texas and visiting camps around Austin area and some other groups that I will be speaking too. I am intermixing it with family and Tiffany's wedding weekend. I am excited to see ol Chi O friends there, should be a good time. Any takers on someone dropping me off at the airport so early on Monday morning to come back???... I mean we would be leaving the house at 4:30am - woahhhh.
I will be going straight there to Northern Cali for camps. I am not so excited about Cali as I will be by myself most of the time. I am getting to see Uncle Tom and Patricia, and possibly Uncle Bill and Mark if he is still in town. So that will be fun to see them. That will hopefully make up for the lonliness of the trip. Northern Cali just doesn't excite me as Southern Cali does. But I know its all beautiful!
Have a good day! See you family soon! Miss you.
More procrastination...
Changing the template a little bit instead of the pink. There are not many options and most of them aren't great.... Hope you enjoy....
p.s. Go Detroit Pistons!!!... I know I am a traitor to Texas, but I can't stand watching Ginobili. Uggghhh... Its Game 3 tonight...I am nervous for them...
Resume and Britney....
Yes, I finally have updated the blog. Be sure to scroll below. I have added pictures of Ashley and some other things. I hear most people like the pictures, so I try to keep you people entertained. Reading novels isn't as fun as reading children's books with pictures right? Anyway...
I am about to update my resume. Wish me luck. I am procrastinating and not looking forward to doing this. I actually have to create it from scratch since I lost my other resume file. That stinks. So, quite possibly that is why I am updating my blog finally. It is mere procrastination. MJ is in the Springs helping his parents out and I am here dedicating the night to resume and watching that stupid show Chaotic...
Okay, speaking of Britney: Chaotic... I mean, the show SUCKS, but I get so fascinated sometimes. I do have to admit... but I cried watching the show tonight... (Its an emotional time of the month....;) so that is my excuse)..... It was the finale where it showed her wedding and baby stuff. I tell ya what really gets me is seeing people cry and then I'll join in right along with them. Its so weird....
Matthew James
Yeah, here is MJ. We have been dating for a few months. It is still new and fresh and sooo much fun. He is the nicest guy ever and I have a blast with him always ...doing everything from working out, playing around, or just sitting silently enjoying each others company. That sounds so cheezy huh??? haha...
So, it must be official..if it finally made it on the blog that I never update..... LOL.
Ashley's graduation
Yes, my 18 year old niece, just graduated from high school. So weird, but I am excited for her. UNFORTUNATELY, she is going to George Washington in DC to be closer to the political scene. So that is good, it will be a great experience. That first year of college is so transforming... finding more about who you are, starting on the road to independence, and for the first time appreciating your roots and family sometimes.
So here is the little graduate and myself....
And speaking of politics... I have to admit I wish I was in Europe to go to the Live8 concert at Hyde Park. It is for gathering support in fighting off extreme poverty. 8 men will meet on July 6th and will have the opportunity to double aid and drop debt. Its pretty cool. Tempting to go to the concert, but not that tempting to put a dent in my budget for the flight alone. Oh well. Here is the website. http://www.live8live.com/ Go check it out... Let me know if you get a white wristband... I would actually wear that wristband...
Other important news in the media.......(okay, just kidding)
At my parent's ranch... some of the dogs had new puppies. So cute. I really really want to get a small puppy this year. Another thing that I am not sure I can commit to financially. We will see. If I got a doggie, it wouldn't be until the Fall and it would be a small one that I could take on planes when I travel. I want a doggie, but it is the trendy thing to do....so it makes me not want to do it for that reason... Anyway. Here is my precious nephew, Lance, holding one of the puppies...
Still no excuse huh?
Oh yeah it has been so long. I have been busy and just plain lazy too at times. The whole blog thing is crazy because you don't know how much you want to put out there... but oh well, right? Life goes on. I went to Texas for Joni's wedding and got to see tons of old great friends. And me and weddings...I tend to get teary and emotional... it really is bizarre. But I do just love weddings and the excitement. Who you commit to be with is huge and can be life-changing... exciting and scary.
So this was some of the people at the wedding. I am in the orange dress ofcourse.
So Ruth is gone right now too. She left to go to Texas to visit family and then go on a mission trip with her family to Jordan and then to visit Israel. It should be a fun and great trip for her family. I am glad they are able to go. I have to give a shout out to Ruth's dad who helped me get my prescription for glasses. Yes, I had to convert.... ugghhh. I now wear glasses. The good thing is I don't have to wear them all the time, but who knows when the day will come that I will have to. But for now they are for driving and bright colors like movies or things like that. They make the WORLD of difference. I couldn't believe when I put them on, ...I could see LEAVES. I know that seems silly, but it was true. I didn't realize the globs of green I saw in the grass and on trees, but with glasses they are defined and rustle in the wind.
its quite marvelous. I suggest everyone get glasses. :)
Here is a mugshot of me and the glasses....
