Mexico Extravaganza!

Jeremy and I went to Mexico for his cousin Ryan's wedding. It was incredible!! Here are a few fun pics from the trip!

The trip was set in breathtaking Riveria Maya, Mexico. The Barcelo Maya Palace...on the beach.

There were lots of friends and family of Ryan and Lindsey there to celebrate. We had a great few days leading up to the wedding. We got to spend lots of time with his brothers and had a little too much fun at times!

Tequlia shots at lunch and fun times at the pool!

My favorite picture from the trip!! HAHAHA Matt and Chris sporting the short shorts!!! HAHA

Lindsey (bride) and me at the bachelorette party...

Catamaran trip to go snorkling the morning after the bachelor and bachelorette parties. Lots of sea sick people...Lindsey's cousin caugth this sail fish, really impressive catch!

Then it was the wedding day...couldn't have been more beautiful!

The groom...Ryan.

The blushing bride Lindsey and her dad.

My most favorite picture of Ryan, tears in his eyes the moment he saw Lindsey.

This was the most intimate and touching ceremony I have ever been to. It was so special to be there celebrating with Ryan and Linds.

Flaming shots at the reception. You had to drink the shot through a straw before the straw melted from the flame...good times.

We went into Play Del Carmen the next day with some friends from the wedding. We got to hold a monkey!

Jeremy and I spent a few extra days there after it was all over and relaxed and enjoyed the tide pools, beach, and pools. It was a great trip!

Girls weekends

Sarah came to Woodland Park for the weekend we had a great time hanging out! She is such a blast!! Here are a few hillarious pictures of us. Just being sisters...

For Diane's birthday the girls all got together and went to Fort Collins for the weekend. We had a great time hanging out despite the rain. It was really fun to reconnect with my old roomies. Here are a few pics.

We had a great hotel that Diane picked out. The beds were SO comfy!!

We got margs from the Rio.

Then we did a little shopping when we walked through Old Town.

Aren't we cute! haha

We had dinner at Coopersmiths....sooooo good.

We went dancing at Washbar, it was hillarious.

We had a great time. We went to breakfast the next day and did some shopping. I love my girls!!

After hanging out with the girls I met up with Jeremy and his brother Chris. Chris is about to graduate and go to the Navy!! We are gonna miss him!

snow, Snow and MORE SNOW!!

The snow storm of the year! It started about 5pm on Thursday with hail, lightning and thunder. Then it turned to thunder snow. It was incredible. Huge amounts of snow and the mountains shaking with the thunder rumbling through it. This is our little house that we rent from Jeremy's dad in Woodland Park.

We went for a drive Thursday night and this is what it looked like out in town. We live in such a beautiful town!!

The roads were crazy fun to drive on. The snow is heavy and wet with a layer of ice under it from the hail. It was great fun!

Jeremy out shoveling for the second time on Friday. We got a SNOW DAY!! It was so great to not have to go to work. We had a great day! We did our fit test for our new work out and started our diet! Taking before pictures can give you A LOT of motivation.

This is on Friday on our back deck. There is about 16 inches on Friday night. And it is still coming. This is after the sun came out for awhile and started to melt things too. Both Jeremy and I shoveled and shoveled and shoveled....and shoveled some more.

There is our little Oscar bean out in the snow. He hates it!! We have shoveled a little path for him to go outside and go potty. We have to shovel it every time we let him outside because the snow is so heavy and so deep!

Jeremy out shoveling again. This is a really long and big driveway. It is A LOT of work and A LOT of snow!

There is our Oscar baby out in the snow again. Isn't his sweatshirt so funny!!

Here is the table on our back deck Saturday morning at about 22 inches and STILL SNOWING!!

When will it ever stop.

Its Saturday night and its been snowing and windy most of the day, I would say there is at least 26 inches or more. Its still snowing and I am wondering if I will be stuck in the house forever!! Its been a good weekend to get a lot of Masters work done. Only a few classes left!! Hope everyone had a nice weekend!!

Spring Break

So we didn't plan anything major for spring break this year but just getting to relax, sleep late, and so some needed catch up on my masters classes was refreshing. Here are a few highlights from the week.

We celebrated Sarah's sweet sixteen...isn't she a beauty!

The guys and the gals

We had dinner at Bennihana's the chef was really funny and got Sarah up to do some tricks. It was perfect for our aspiring little chef!!

Here is the family and the little buddah that Sarah's dessert came on (haha). Poor Matty has Mono and was pretty miserable the whole time.

Jeremy and I did the Incline in Manitou Springs. This is a hike that goes up 2500 feet in less than a mile. It is the most intense and gnarly incline I have ever done. When we started out, it goes up so fast and so intense that I immediatly thought I was going to throw up. I had had a big breakfast and thought I was going to puke my guts out. But with a lot of breaks and a slow pace I got to the top on my very first try!!

Jeremy is a pro because he is has been doing it a few times a month with his friend Dalton. He was a good cheerleader for me!

When we made it to the top it was the best feeling!! The hike was an awesome accomplishment!! We are going to try to do it once a week to get ready for our backpacking trip in Italy!!!
