Orange and Blue = Black (Kind of)!

I had my camera missing for a while, but got it back so I have some catching up to do. We went to the CU game last Thursday, which was fun. We also went to the "Stampede" on Pearl Street the night before. It was entertaining, but not near the intensity of the Tiger Walk. The game was really fun and the students were really exited about the game. See if you can spot the Alabama fan in the pictures...everyone is decked out in their black CU gear and what do you know if there isn't a redneck Alabama fan in a Alabama hat and jacket! No matter how far you go you can't escape!

Chris is back in Atlanta this week. He will be having a fun time watching the Auburn game at George Wilbank's lake house in Alexander City. I have been keeping busy with swim lessons and bike riding, but I am ready for him to be back in town!

Progress is being made....

The weather has been really nice in Boulder this week. Chris and me went mountain biking on Monday and yesterday I had my swim lesson. I learned a lot yesterday during my lesson. I had my own instructor and my own lane and swam free style the whole time! We are finally getting the house painted! It should be done by Friday and we are really excited. Today the green coat was put on and it starting to look really different.

Breaking News: Hurricane Steve to hit P.C. Beach Tonight

Breaking news from Schooners Beach Club in Panama City Beach, FL. Hurricane Steve is expected to hit tonight via The Fur Bus. All residents are advised to join the party or evacuate.

New Boots and The Dog Days of Summer

Well, Chris is one step closer to being a tele skier. Our new passes just came in for the 08/09 ski season and all the local stores are having clearance sales for their 07/08 gear. Now all he needs are some bindings, skis, and some poles.

We also took the dogs to swim at the public pool. As a fundraiser, they open the pool up at the end of the season and let dogs swim for $5/dog. Overall, Maddie was pretty tame (Chris took her skateboarding to wear her out) and did really good. There was so many chocolate and blacks labs I couldn't hardly tell which ones were our dogs! It was craziness.

Labor Day Weekend 2008

We took a little road trip over the holiday weekend. Our adventure started on Thursday night with a late night stay at the Super 8 Motel in Leadville (interesting). We woke up Friday morning and drove the Independence Pass to Aspen, CO. Chris had to work some, but then we went to see the Maroon Bells. They were beautiful. That night, we went to see Widespread Panic at the Aspen Jazz Fest. We had a lot of fun and it was a great show. The venue was awesome, but I didn't have my camera.

On Saturday, we drove to Fruita and met up with our friends Josh and Amber from Keystone. We did some biking that afternoon in the Bookcliffs area, but it was extremely hot so we set up camp and took it easy. When we woke up on Sunday, it was overcast and raining....and raining....so we drove through Colorado National Monument Park. It was really pretty. We went and did some fun riding in the Loma area on the Kokepelli trail that afternoon. We got caught in a flash flood, which was interesting and fun. On Monday, we did some more riding, but just stayed a half day. Chris lost the screw to his rear break (not good) and I sprained my ankle! However, we all survived with just some bumps and bruises.

Warning: There is a crazy amount of photos!
