I Can't See!

Yesterday I put in my contacts and everything was still blurry so I ended up wearing my glasses. It took me ALL day to realize that I put Mike's contacts in, ugh.

Flight of the Bird...

So we went to a Photoshop seminar today (I'll tell you about it later) and we found a birdie in the parking lot who was clearly not doing well....


So we fed him some granola bar...


We put him on my coat...


And moved him to safety...


We came back a few hours later...


and had to bury him...


:(

Back in the Burgh

I had a fabulous trip to Colorado and I am now safe and sound back at home. Just a little busy getting caught up, but here are a few pics from the trip:


We went to a Colorado Rockies game against the Padres (Rockies lost). All the seats are a gray-green color except the one row of seats that are purple, that's the "mile high" seats!


Of course, in tradition, we tried the artichoke dip (it was a little too creamy, but yummy none the less) at Brekenridge Brewery in Denver (they had a good vanills porter, which is my fav beer right now!).



Our purpose (besides the fact that Colorado is b-e-a-utiful) was to visit my family, so here we all are (in no particular order) mom, dad, sister, aunt, uncle, cousin, cousin and me!

I Made it!

I made it to Colorado! Flight (first ever all by myself, so I was a little nervous) was great, I met lots of new friends like Bob the architecht, Adam the CMU grad student, John Adams (like the president) the Philly lawyer and Lisa who was going to a concert in LA. Didn't get to read my book at all b/c I kept talking to strangers but thats okay! Had a bit of a headache for awhile which is appearently common due to the altitude. Having fun with the family and we're going to stay in a cabin in the Rockies tomorrow night!

Going on Vay-Cay!

Okay I'm leaving today for Colorado and I'll be back next Tuesday! I don't know for sure if I'll get a chance to get online or not (sorry for leaving you in suspense). Here's some travel cards from Indexed to keep you smiling while I'm gone.

I found another good source for assisting you in learning another language, it's called Babbel and creates a sort of social network of others learning languages as well as tutorials for you to work through.

Okay, onto the phrase of this week. Some things you hope you never have to say but should plan for them anyway...

3-Day Weekend

The weekend flew by! We didn't do anything too exciting, but we did go camping out at Mike's family camp by Parker Dam. We had new keys made a month or so ago and they ended up not working, well the ones to open the gate to the road (if you call it a road)...


anyyway...we opened the gate but couldn't open the cabin. Soooo we slept in the car (thank goodness for suvs with the seats that fold completely down) and just went hiking and whatnot the next morning. Wasn't perfect, but couldn't have been any better, we had a great time.

Congrats...

Just wanted to say congratulations to my co-worker and fellow blogger Alanna and (Mike's co-worker) Chris on their wedding this weekend! Best wishes for a happy future you crazy kids!


(Alanna has two blogs: their wedding/married life blog and her personal design blog, check it out she does some really awesome work)

It just keeps getting better and better!

Mikey and I got 4 free tickets from work to last night's Steeler pre-season game, and amazingly enough, we're NEVER been to a game so we were pumped! (thank you Giant!) We had a fabulous time and took two of Mike's friends and the Steelers won to top it all off!


The rain held off and even though we had to sit in traffic forever, it wasn't so bad because we watched one of my favorite Family Guy episodes (Lethal Weapons) on Mike's ipod!

Spanish Weekly: About 100 days left!!!

We've got to know how to ask the really important questions.

Holy Honeymoon, Batman!

So Mike and I have been throwing around ideas for a honeymoon but couldn't narrow it down. Do we go overseas? Alaska? The beach? Buy matching macbook pros? Well we don't have to worry about it anymore because we WON A FREE HONEYMOON!!!!! No joke, it's legit! Seriously, these things don't usually happen to me! We sat down and filled out a whole bunch of "Win a free trip" things online kinda hoping, but not really thinking it would happen. But this lovely lady named Molly called me yesterday to say I won and sent all the paperwork!!! It was though a contest I filled out on brides.com and it is 4 nights in any of the Dreams Resorts & Spas, and everyyything is included; food, drinks, daytime activites like "jungle trekking" "Natural cliff rappel" snorkeling, etc. They have resorts in places like Cancun, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, etc!!! So exciteddd!



I'm not the only one with excitement my girls are on a good streak too! Mase and KC just signed a lease for their apartment, KC got a new car, Nikkie started a new job, and Stace is applying for jobs to hopefuly move back up here close to us! Smiles all around....growing up isn't so bad afterall!
