Trip To Breckenridge

Chris had some co-workers come out for a trip to Breckenridge. We said at an awesome house that was just a couple of blocks off Main Street. It was a great house and a great location. It would be perfect for a Horne Family Trip to the West (hint, hint)! We did some skiing at Keystone and Loveland. On Valentines, Chris and I took a day off and hung out in town. It was nice to walk around with no agenda for a day!

New Fence and Other Things!

First is some photos of the dogs...they really like each other and our couch! Also, I went skiing with Melisa at A-Basin last weekend. We had a very fun time, but I wasn't feeling too good at lunch and figured out the next day I had a touch of the flu. There was 7 of us out of work Monday, which is over half my office. Not fun!

I am feeling much better and it was just in time for the arrival and Chris and his mother. We also have another lab around the house now, Levi! I am glad we go the new fence done in time for this. The fence turned out great and the backyard looks so different!

War Eagle!

We had a great time in Arizona and the whole weekend was perfect...just like Auburn's season! The game was great and it was so much fun catching up with good friends!

Also, Ms. Slaughter brought me one of her "vintage" vests during Christmas. She wanted to make sure that we took it to the game. I told her it was a little "mature" for me, but we had a fun time with the vest while we were in Arizona!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Mama Slaughter came out to visit for the holidays. We had a really fun time cooking and hanging out at the house. We went to the Dollar Store and spent $5 on each other. This might be a new tradition! We went to see Little Fockers on Christmas Day, which was very funny. We also watched The Proposal at home on our instant Netflix. I have never heard Chris laugh so hard at a romantic comedy! We also visited the Butterfly Pavillion, which is a neat experience. Chris and I let a tranchila walk across our hand! It felt like Q-Tips. The butterfly room was full of pretty, tropical flowers and so many butterflies! They were all sizes and colors.

On New Year's Eve, we hosted a dinner party at our house. We cooked all day on Friday, but pulled it off. Everyone had a really fun time and it was nice being inside the house since it was below zero outside! Chris even wrote a song to the tune of Margaritaville and sang it with the help from out neighbors John and Chris! We also set up an area for funny photos...look and you will understand!

White Christmas Ball

This weekend we went to the White Christmas Ball at the Bach Field House, which is connected to the CU stadium. It was themed after the Bing Crosby movie White Christmas that was made in the 1950s. It was a really fun time and there was attendees of all ages! The music was an orchestra and they did scenes from the movie with other entertainers. There was also swing dances and vintage military vehicles!

Thanksgiving Adventure

Again, I have been a little slow with the blog posts. I started off the holiday season by going to see The Rockettes with my friend Melisa. We had a fun time and I had flashbacks to the Highstepper days! We also had a great trip home for Thanksgiving. The trip began in Panama City then we headed to Dothan and up to Birmingham.

We went skiing this past weekend. The early season snow has been extremely good, so it was really fun. We didn't get a 5 Mountain Pass this year since we are trying to venture out some more in the state of CO. We did get a four pack to Loveland and went there on Sunday since Chris did a tele clinic. I really like Loveland and took some pics!

October Happenings

I got a little lazy with the blog, so this will be a random catch up of events from October. The month started off with out of town guests for the Georgia v. CU game. It was so much fun having Tim and everyone else in town. It was also a very exciting and fun game. We cheered for CU and were happy when they won...we are season ticket holders and all!

Chris took a climbing trip with some friends in the middle of the month. He was on the South Platte River near Colorado Springs. He had a great time and did his first lead climb. I better hurry up and learn how to climb outside so I will see Chris on the weekends!

We went out for a few hours on Halloween. I really have been wanting to be a disco ball and I pulled it off. I knew I did okay when strangers were stopping and asking to take a photo. This year was a trial run. Next year, we are going to get a group to be a moving dance floor down Pearl Street. Chris decided to be a bearded woman. It was very funny. His dress fit so well it was scary. He got hit on more than once...not sure if they were joking or serious. Chris was starting to get a little uncomfortable!

Lastly, our neighbor brought us over a huge bag of green tomatoes. I decided I better figure out something to do with them besides fried green tomatoes. I made green tomato salsa, green tomato verde sauce with enchiladas, and even green tomato bread.
