And you bleed just to know you're alive

Jeans!

Me & Steve Travino after he performed at the Denver Improv!

I KNOW!

Too Big for your Britches

Mike got a new TV. I'm ok with it because playing Zelda on it is AWESOME!!!!

Someone's Superhero

Look how sad Wall-E looks because Mike doesn't want a picture with him!! :-(

"I'm opening you, impatient jerk!"

We all break the same

the crowds roll by
and im falling in
everyone's invicible
but its just pretend

and we all freaked out
what a shame
when only tears
know how
to remind us we all break the same

we all break the same
and we all break the same

and everything we've built
could be our demise
it's the sticks and stones
that wear us down
that often save our lives

the different stars tonight
will somehow fade the same
and all the tears we cry
tell us we're made the same
and when we fall aside
let's hope we fall in place
we built our different lives
but they all break the same

oh different worlds
and different hearts
and different souls
and different parts

and we all
we all break the same

Falling into memories of you

I was driving home from Greeley today when I noticed that not only were there signs on Highway 34 for Centerra, a massive shopping complex off of I-25, there were also these random signs for a sculpture garden out in the middle of NOWHERE.

"I'll stop the next time I'm coming this way," I thought to myself. And then, it occured to me that this never happens, I never go back to my good ideas. So I stopped.

And it was a beautiful day.

Soup for the Soul

"That bread bowl's as big as your head!"

Easter the Irish Way

Dinner at Landaugh's!

I act as one, but I'm not alone

Mike made reservations at the Maggiano's on 16th Street to celebrate...nothing! So we ate in a magnificent "gangster" booth, ate WAY too much food, and enjoyed the fact that we were finally back in the same place! We were about to leave for Lucky Strike Lanes when Mike looked at the multitude of food left on our plates.

"Let's take this to go and find someone who needs it," he said, nonchalantly. Here I was being treated to a fabulous date, with more games and drinks to come, and this is what the man I'm with think's of.

I am constantly humbled by how blessed I've been.

OCD

Now, if that's what I got rid of, imagine what I still have in my closets and drawers! And the pile just got bigger...I mean, I had shirts from HIGH SCHOOL! For the love...

So Nug

Who wouldn't want to wake up to that every morning?

One last couch nappies

It turns out that DFW was a no fly zone for the better part of a day. After nicely telling the 4 United personnel I spoke to on the phone that they would be getting me on a flight back to Denver tomorrow, I was booked on the first flight available: Thursday at 11 am. It was cause for some stress. But...

Arlington at home or Rapid City in the Hampton Inn??? Hmmm.

So we all took a nap instead.

The Age of Exploration

But time won't take the boy out of this man

Probably my favorite buried treasure found in the old well on our property. It was used as a dump once it stopped bearing water, and the artifacts we dug up filled me with awe.

This windmill pumped water into the well and pond...when all three were in working order.

The dig!

But I'm sure it's written all over my face

Hit the Road, Jack

And don'tchya come back no more...no more...no more...no more...

I am THE MAN!

I got a bonus, promotion, AND raise all in about 5 minutes at 8 am this morning. Mike got 2 closings, sold his fix-&-flip, and had 2 meetings for future investments all in about 20 minutes. It was a Dominic's night!

My man even wore CUFFLINKS! Ow ow!

He really likes this pose. I think it's just an excuse.

THE Chocolate Martini. They weren't kidding around with the "THE"!

All civilized-like

Catching a few fun moments at the Fixed Ops meetings. Jen is amazing at getting us free food!

Shake & Bake

And I helped! Gorgeous day for steaks...specially bought for moi. He's such a good cook, dang it!

Put on your Big Girl panties and deal with it!

So I effectively had a 3 day sales objective given to me Monday before I was to leave town Friday. So I put on my game day face, and sold the PANTS off those DVD headrests! Of course, the shirt had to have some effect... ;-D

It's the tie

And this is how Mike makes his money!

Not to mention gets the girl...

Domo Arigato

What better way to spend a beautiful Saturday than in Old Town Fort Collins stuffing our faces with sushi and bubble tea?

There's not one.

House of the Dead IV

Morbid as it sounds, that's my favorite game to watch someone play at Dave & Busters. My favorite games to play are the puzzle ones, cause those are the ones I can acutally beat! Seriously, whoever thought of that place was a genuius. A grown up Chuck E. Cheese that sells alcohol. Brilliant.

If the shoe fits...

Throw it at someone who's pissing you off.

My little blessing during this awful week was arriving at the Hampton Inn Idaho Falls and heading up to my room. After taking a picture of my room plaque, I walked in...and didn't see a bed?! What the...but then I looked towards where the bathroom was and realized: I'D BEEN UPGRADED TO A SUITE! A huge hot tub and separate shower awaited my beck and call for relaxation. The living room led to the bedroom with a huge TV and kind size bed (I love king size beds). I was stunned.

And then I looked up, laughing, and said, "You are so good to me!"

And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got"

No matter what kind of week I have, no matter the frustation, the heartache, the gut wrenching rage I might encounter along the way...at least I always have The Hampton Inn - my personal favorite is their downtown Boise location. I pretty much just stare at this carpet every morning when I grab my Green Tea and banana. Breakfast of Champions. Or at Tiffany's.

Whatever.

I remember it much redder

Oh son of Man, where you gonna run to?

Long story...but an excellent one that included Good Times Burgers!

This song is absolutely classic, too.

Rialto

We were walking along to our "going out" destination in downtown Denver when Mike said, "You know...we're about to walk past the restaurant where we ate on our first date...and today...is March 1st..."

So when we got there and I wanted to take a picture, Mike wasn't at all surprised.

"I was totally planning on that..."

:-D Happy Anniversary, Love!
