Fun at Vail

I had a fun girls weekend in Vail this past weekend. It was good to finally get on the slopes and the snow was good on Saturday. We had a nice place to stay in and had lots of fun at the free Bare Naked Ladies concert. We tried to ski the next day at A-Basin, but after two runs we decided it was just too cold.

Getting Closer...

This has been a busy week with the house. We got the doors up and the baseboards are almost finished. We are getting so close! Chris also had a birthday on Monday. I made him a red velvet cake to celebrate. It has been freezing her this week, but looks like it will start to warm up over the weeked.

I Got Bangs!

I got a haircut yesterday and decided to try out some bangs. I thought it was time to mix it up a little bit. I haven't had bangs in 20 years! On Tuesday, we went & saw Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. It was another fun and awesome show. The news had predicted 1-2 inches of snow over the night. However, when we came out of the show about 11:45 PM there was already three inches of snow on the ground and they didn't do any treatment of the roads. We had a wait a while, but a cab finally showed up to take us home. It was a pretty scary ride home, but glad we didn't have to get a hotel room in Downtown Boulder!

Trip Home

Chris and I had a really fun trip home to Trussville for the holidays. We ate way too much food and had way too much dessert during the week. We headed down to Auburn for the game. Emily went to the game with me, which was exciting. We made it to half time before I started running out of "treats". I didn't know how much she could eat...she had Reece Pieces, Skittles, Gummies, a salted pretzel, and a hot dog! Yes, that was all before half time. It was still a great day even though the Tigers didn't win!

More Snow

It kept snowing through out the night and is still snowing today. I am not sure how much snow we will end up with on the ground. Chris might be taking the bus home since the 4Runner is not so great in the snow. I included an updated photo of the kitchen. We have to put up the backsplash and knobs and will be done with that part! However, still alot left to do....but getting closer.

Time to Get the Skis Tuned...

Last weekend we went to the new Warren Miller film with some friends, which always signals that ski season is around the corner. On Sunday, Chris went up near Breckenridge to do some touring in the back country. The snow wasn't great, but the weather was nice and he got some good photos. Josh and some of the other guys did some kite skiing while they were there. I have been working around the house this week while Chris is out of town. It has been in the 70s, but now there is inches of snow falling down. I went to the CU volleyball game tonight to see Melisa since she is their trainer. I picked a good one to go to. CU lost, but put up a friend fight and it was crowded.

Happy Halloween

We had a fun Halloween around Boulder this year. The dogs even got dressed up. Chris and me went as "Flu Busters". It looks pretty intense, but the outfit was actually really cheap and easy to make. Happy Halloween!
