NKOTB round 2

I'm using this blog as my scrapbook so I couldn't leave out the pictures from last weekend New Kids on the Block concert. Their concerts are always so much fun and this one didn't disappoint.

Amy, me, Cantrelle and Jenna

These are girls that we have played softball with for the past several years. They are so much fun.

Colorado Trip

A little late but here are some pictures from our trip to Colorado, July 4-11th...
We left home on July 4th and drove halfway to Raton, NM. We found a spot to enjoy the 4th of July fireworks.
Then we drove on to Vail, CO where we stayed for 4 days. It was wonderful. This is D and the dogs in Vail Village on the first day we were there.

We went hiking on the first day and enjoyed these views.

And this is what the dogs did the rest of the night.

More hiking pictures. And these pictures really don't do it justice. Everything in Colorado is so picturesque.

We weren't far from Breckenridge so we drove over there one day to shop and eat. Here are the dogs chilling by the creek in Breckenridge.

Then on the last day we went on another long hike. We saw this 50 foot waterfall but I couldn't get a really good picture of it without falling off of a cliff.

Ivan enjoying the scenery on our lunch break.

On the way home we stayed one night with our friends Krista and Dustin.

Then we saw some sights near Colorado Springs. Here is a family picture at the Garden of the Gods.

And we drove up to the top of Pikes Peak.

The dogs loved the 46 degree temperature at the top of the peak.

High School

Last weekend we went to a renuion of some of my high school friends. The reunion was actually for the class of 1989 but their class was small so they invited a few other classes to join in. We didn't have as many people as we did at our 10 year reunion but it was still fun. They did a slideshow so I scanned in a bunch of pictures from high school. Here are a few...

These are our ugly uniforms

This is from our Jr./Sr. Banquet. No prom at Shady Grove! Our private school was so strict on dress code and we had to have sleeves on our dress. That was hard to find.

And here we are now. Notice none of the girls have sleeves.

This post is dedicated to Kari McCall Long who was unable to attend. We missed you Kari!!!

working 9 to 5

I don't have much to update you on so I thought I would show you where I work. I work for a hospital consulting company (i don't want to say the name so they don't somehow get linked up to my blog). But basically what I do all day is work with hospitals to help them negotiate for the best deals on their cardiology equipment. So if you ever need to know about Balloon Pumps or who the best vendor is for Intravascular Ultrasound, I am here for you.

Here is where I spend pretty much 8 hours of my day...

Can you tell how small it is?

This summer I will celebrate my 3 years with the company and for the most part I like my job. The people I work with are fun and that is a big deal since I probably spend as much time with them as I do with my sweet husband (he's reading over my shoulder). We are pretty lucky to work within a 5 minute walk to Starbucks and we have lots of fun restuarants to try out for lunch. We also have lots of shops within walking distance (Mockingbird Station if you know the area) where we can indulge in some retail therapy if we are having a bad day. So that's where I work!

A wedding without cake

Last weekend we went to San Antonio for the wedding of one of D's friends from work. Mandy told me to eat a piece of cake for her so that got my taste buds going. But we get there and have a nice sit down dinner and then I start looking around for the cake and there wasn't one. The waiter brought us these custard type things instead of wedding cake. Demian liked them but they just didn't cut it for me.
We have another wedding to go to in a couple of weeks so I guess I will have to wait until then to get my fill. Here are some other pictures from the weekend away.

D used to think I was silly for posing for pictures all the time but now he is kinda getting into it.

But he picked up the phone and it started ringing the front desk. Love his face in this one.

Happy Mother's Day

You were the greatest mom back then....

and you are still the greatest mom...

Hope you have a great day!
