Anniversary...

Jeremy and I celebrated our four year anniversary together on August 27th. Over a scrumptious meal of crab legs, scallops, and wine we talked about how nothing we planned or imagined about our life together has happened the way we thought it would. We laughed about how unpredictable our life together has been but both agreed that we wouldn't change it for the world. We (Jeremy) are working really hard on building a new deck. Its going to be so AWESOME when it is done!! And I am back to work with a whole new bunch of kindergartners. They have been wonderful so far and I think it will be an amazing year with them. I am so thankful for the ability to teach and work with kids who need really good teachers. I think they impact my life far more than I impact theirs. Hope everyone is doing well!! It will be an exciting winter with so many close friends having babies and new changes in their lives. Lots of love!

Afghanistan Trip June 2010

We literally have thousands of pictures from our trip that all members of the team took while we were there. We made a really awesome snapfish book that we would love to share with anyone who would like to see. But here is a few of our favorites from the trip. It was remarkable, the whole trip was like nothing we have ever done before. We fell in love with the Afghan people we met and hope to someday soon return. There is much that can be done and the people could not be more grateful for aid.

Here is our first team picture for our trip to Afghanistan!! We are so excited that all the details are coming together and things are looking good for our trip. This is a great group of people it will be such an amazing experience to travel together. I can't wait for all the stories we will get to share soon. Check back this week for more info!!

Spring 2010

Mother's day at the Aquarium with Jeremy's mom and dad. We had a great brunch then walked through the aquarium. It was a fun day!










We fed the stingrays!! It feels like a really strong vacuum on your hand...YUCK!


I got to go to the Flatirons Womens Retreat with my sweet friend Diane and Rachel. It rained and snowed most of the time but it was a really beautiful younglife camp outside of Winter Park. I loved getting to spend some time with these girls!!

Zoo day with my sis and nieces. They are getting so big!!

This is what we are doing with most of our time...landscaping. Our house was a foreclosure in great shape on the inside but the outside needed a lot of work. There has been a lot in the gardens that has survived but there has been a lot of rock moving, weeding, trimming, cleaning, and planting happening. The pictures below are when we bought the house, notice there was a huge evergreen tree on the far side of the house that was totally over grown and growing into the house. Half of it has been cut off so that the branches wouldn't grow into the house. It was in really bad shape and had to be taken out. There were also three bushes that were so overgrown that when it snowed you couldn't walk on our sidewalk at all because they would cover it completely. The whole front bed was also covered in rock and there was major drainage/erosion problems. SO...all that to say it doesn't look like too dramatic of a change but it has been a ton of work.

AFTER...so far

This is our lovely crab apple tree, the blossoms were amazing this year!! Still a lot of work to do but its been a big improvement so far.

Sarah's Junior Prom 2010

Totally random story about Sarah...
We were at a rockies game with my parents a few weeks ago and she noticed this very cute boy sitting a few rows above us. I turned to see who it was and to my surprise I knew him. He is the little brother of one of my best friends!! To make a long story short they started hanging out, became fast friends, and Sarah asked him to her prom.
Sweet little Sarah and Adorable Andy went to her Junior Prom tonight. They both looked amazing!! So here are some pf the pictures from both Kinsey and I.


Sarah's friend Erin came over to do her hair and makeup. It looked lovely!! Then Zoe came over to put on the finishing touches and get dressed.
