blue and gold

There is a beautiful place called Centennial, Colorado. It is my home and it steals my heart again and again. I could go on an on about so many little things in Colorado that make my heart smile. But let's focus on the now...

Last weekend Ross and I took a spontaneous trip to my house in Colorado to spend the weekend boating with my parents and Kris. WOW was that needed. It was too great to not mention to the world. We woke up at the crack of dawn on Saturday morning after 4 hours of sleep and headed out to Chatfield Reservoir. Oh, Chopfield. We spent 8 hours on the boat on Saturday and 6 hours on Monday and our skin paid for it. But it. was. heaven. So many little things happened last weekend in the place that I love the most.

1. Ross got up on the wakeboard! I literally welled up with tears I was so excited. Not kidding it was one of the happiest moments in my life. He is hooked. Our future is looking bright.
2. Ross' sister, Brittany, drove down from Laramie to join us on Saturday and Laura joined us on Monday. Is there anything better than doing what you love with people that you love?
3. Family skype with new baby Sawyer! What a precious little cutie. So happy for Andy and Paige!
4. Going through old boxes and journals with Ross. Now he knows what a crazy he married. I was reminded of what a wonderful childhood I had and how we are constantly shaped and molded. Also, thank goodness we do not stay teenagers forever.

5. Homemade grilled pizza with my parents and Kristie. That is what summer feels like.

 ^Got in on the new Menchies action next to the neighborhood. Yogurtland still takes the cake...

<Do we look happy, or what?!


Thanks for the cell phone pics, Kris.


Now, who wants to take us boating every day for the rest of the summer?

One word on this weekend: Olympics! You know what I mean. Thank goodness for a kind father's comcast account + NBC LiveExtra that allows us cable-less people to join in on the fun. Oh and let's not forget TVs at the gym during Olympic Primetime aka my only motivation to go to the gym in the last 3 months. It's like New Year resolutions all over again.

Happy Olympics! Go USA!
