New Beginnings

Brrr!

I had to take a few breaks to try to warm up

My skis were waiting for me when I came back though

Brr! A self portrait ;)

I had to enjoy a beer after the first day of skiing, even if it was freezing

I kind of want to start a new blog but don't know if I have the energy right now. I know it's been forever since I've posted and I know you all know why. I want this blog to continue to be what it was before, communication to my friends and family through photos of what I've been up to. So here's a new start to that. I went skiing a week ago by myself. Never been skiing by myself. It wasn't bad, just different. I probably would have even had fun if it wasn't -10 degree windchill. I'll let you know in the future because I plan to do more when it's a little warmer and there is more snow. I did have the foresight to bring the camera so I have photos of my first (frigid) ski trip this year. Enjoy!!!

Today

These are some photos I took this morning when I woke up. It's a beautiful day!

I don't have much new for you guys. I was supposed to work yesterday but was put on call so I had a lazy day. I pretty much sat around and watched football all day. It was a nice day. I was supposed to meet some friends out in Evergreen last night but we got about 3-4 inches of snow during the day. Jeremy worked and had the Xterra. I was cozy and didn't feel like going outside to play with the Jeep. Jeremy and I both have today off so we'll see what the day brings.

Catching Up

On our beautiful bike ride late Monday afternoon

This photo was taken Wednesday after it snowed all night Tuesday night

My new 'do'

It was absolutely beautiful Monday so Jeremy and I went for a bike ride on a bike path between here and Denver. Then Tuesday night, it snowed. I worked my first day shift Tuesday. It was busy but it went okay. Then I worked a night shift the next day (last night) and I am reminded today of why I went to days! I'm beat. I got my hair cut and we are going to see a movie tonight. Then, I am going to crash.

Spa day

My pretty toenails (an my crazy toes)

Downtown Denver. It has been a beautiful weekend!

Saturday Jeremy and I met Tanaia to have a spa day. We started out with a massage and I can honesty tell you I will never do that again. I am so sore today. My shoulder and neck feel like I did 30 minutes of weight training instead of having a relaxing massage. My therapist told me I needed to do it more often because my neck and back are extremely tight but I am not sure that I'm sold considering how I feel today. After the massage, Tanaia and I got pedicures. My feet felt so good...then I put heels on and went out and gave myself blisters...oh well! My toes still look great! We met up with some of Jeremy's coworkers for a birthday party and had a little too much fun. Today, Jeremy and Tanaia and some other people from work went to kayak a river and I was feeling like I was hit by a truck so I stayed home and watched football and got some relaxation. I feel a little better. Hoping I feel much better by Tuesday for my first day shift. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Our Anniversary

The staff made a card out for us

I worked the night before and the night of our anniversary so we went out on Friday. We ate at The Melting Pot. When we got there, I had a dozen roses waiting on the table. It was a nice night even though I was tired from my many nights of work. Here are a few photos of the roses that I took today.

4 Years!

Halloween in high school

It is our four year anniversary and I can't believe it has been that long! So much has happened in the last four years! New husband, new sister-in-law, new nephew, new job, new house...whew!! I wouldn't change a moment of it and I hope the next four years bring just as much craziness and just as many memories!!!

Friday Night

This last Friday night we went out in Denver with Tanaia and Jordan and his friends. We ended up staying at Tanaia's after going out because it snowed (and we maybe were not in the right mind to drive). I bought this Make-your-own candy necklace kit in Moab and forgot it was in my purse. We found it at a bar and decided to make candy necklaces. See, you can be creative anywhere!!

Jeremy and Jordan. We played pass the hats for awhile.

Tanaia and me (and my candy necklace)

Melody, Tanaia and me. Cheers!

This is the canyon on our drive home the next morning

Sorry I haven't updated in a little while. It has been a very crazy 2 weeks. If I'm not working, I'm sleeping or trying to recover. Or, just to torture myself, I'm spending all night in Denver partying the night before I have to go to work. Saturday night was a rough night back but I survived. Cardiac ICU had their charge RN call in and they thought their best choice for charge last night was me...luckily it was a smooth sailing night! Tonight I'm house manager so I'm not just in charge of one unit, I'm in charge of the whole hospital! Mondays are notoriously busy too. Hopefully it will go smoothly! T minus 4 night shifts and counting!! Days next week! I'll let you all know how it goes. Hope everyone has a great week!
