Photo Op!


 I have a few more pictures from the trip to Colorado that I wanted to post.  The corvette show was a blast (even if it did hail while we where in little ski lift gondolas!)


This shot is us in the gondola before the crazy, cold, random rain!

We apparently were so mesmerized by our favorite corvettes that we forgot to take pictures.  Whoops!

This last picture is of Ginny and me about half way up the mountain.  I am smiling in this picture because I am lying to myself so that I think we are farther up the mountain than we actually are.    It was an amazing view!

Back into the Grind


I hate when you blink and time disappears.  It always seems to happen to me about mid July-then BAM suddenly its the end of August.  I bet once I work year round this weird summer time continuum will no longer be an issue.  Anyway, I enjoyed the end of my last summer!  Chris and I both spent a lot of time working.  We also had the opportunity to see family and friends before we settled in for another year of vet school.

We traveled to Winter Park, CO to see Ginny, Roger, Michael, Jessica and Noah!   We had a blast looking at corvettes (although Chris and I couldn't decide on which year we liked best so it looks like His and Hers corvettes are in our future!), walking around the town, and eating crepes!  I had some altitude issues (but only if you think O2 consumption is important) but it seemed to improve with time.  We were also quite proud of our 2.5 mile hike up the mountain!  It was great to see everyone.  Chris and I are looking forward to being closer and able to see family more often once I graduate.

I also got to spend some time with Laura and Baby Snell at the pool!  We enjoyed the lazy river every day for a week(and only ended up sunburnt one day!).  It was fabulous!  It was really fun to see Dave, Laura, and Mark.  Elsie and Ally LOVED seeing Bowser and Colby!





We also went to Iowa to see my family! We squeezed in a quick visit to Rachel and Tatum.  I made Tatum my official quality control officer for the new hair bows I have been crafting.  I also have some new models to demonstrate the hair pieces.












While home, we saw Dad and Barb.  We did a little shopping and had an awesome dinner!

During the time continuum, Chris and I also celebrated a birthday and anniversary.  Since we planned so many trips, we spent some time home together.  Chris got me amazing flowers in honor of the occasion.  I can't believe we have been married 2 years and together for almost 5 years.  It feels like we have been together our entire lives.  I often find myself surprised when I tell a story from high school and realize he wasn't involved.  I don't think he realizes how lucky I am to have him in my life.  There are so many times when everything gets overwhelming.  Each time Chris is there to hold my hand and remind me that I will be ok-that I can do it.  Basically, I am so glad he found himself in Holly's dorm room that day forever ago :)




That was a lot to blog about but I'm telling you blame it on the time continuum!
