Kent State reunion!!

So one year I decided to go to college...ad stay for one year and one year only. In that one year I made a few great friends who just happen to either live or have lived in Denver! Let me tell you how we all met. Fist day of college I met my three totally random roommates, Carrie, Katie and Margeaux. 8 years later, Carrie and I are still chatting away! I also got a chance to meet Sarah who lived right next door to us in good old Musselman hall!

When I found out that we would be moving to Denver I was so excited because I knew that Carrie lived here and she LOVED it! As it turned out, she was no longer going to be living here. Carrie and her fiance were moving away...sad. Carrie then told me that Sarah was moving to Denver in November (same as us) and that I should call her...so I did! 7 months later we all came together when Carrie came to visit!

Sarah and I get to hang out all the time and Carrie will be joining us again soon as her and Tommy will be moving back to CO - yay!!

Here are a few pics from when Carrie was here!

Sarah, Carrie and Meg

Old roomies!

Carrie got engaged while she was here visiting - how exciting!! (mine on the left, Carrie on the right)

Yes, I made Carrie put her hand like that!

Carrie, Meg and Sarah again

We stopped by the Cherry Creek Farmers Market

Well, who would have thunk that eight year later we would all be so close and in the same city halfway across the country from Ohio...fate, I guess!

Roses, roses everywhere...and a strawberry too!

Who would have thought that I would be little Miss Domestic?! Yep, that's right, I am giving myself that title after successfully keeping my flowers alive!

When we came to look at our house before we actually bought it I fell in love with the rose bushes in the backyard. I knew that I would never see them again because I figured that I would kill them within the first glimpse of summer...but oh no, they are here and in full bloom!

Yes, we also have strawberries growing in our yard...we haven't actually eaten any yet!

Look at those roses!

These ones are my favorites - they are a cream color with pink edges!

I honestly don't know what to do with all of them. Part of me wants to cut them all off and put them in vases all over our house but then I will be so sad when they are gone. What is a girl to do with her roses?!

Matchmaker's!

Yes, you read that correctly...Matchmaker's. Bobby and I should open our own business to set up singles! Before Bobby and I moved to CO we had said for months that we had to get our friends Katie (my co-worker) and Jon (Bobby's co-worker) to meet. I talked about Jon to Katie and I made sure to mention Katie to Jon but nothing ever came of it...until our going away party! We finally introduced the two love-birds the day before we left DC which was not the best timing on our part. We never got to hang out as a group and Jon was moving away from DC a few weeks later too! I kept telling them that Bobby and I started out long-distance and look at us now!!

Anyways, the two of them hit it off and are now attached at the hip (even though they live in different cities...for now). The best part of the story is that Katie's twin sister and her husband (Eileen and Kyle) live here in Colorado! So Jon and Katie made a trip out here to visit everyone which was so much fun. Here are a few pictures from a night out at a down and dirty country bar...

Married, Engaged and dating

On another note. Kyle and Eileen are both in the military and Kyle is currently serving a one year tour in Afghanistan. Please keep Kyle in your prayers!

Jeepin' to Colorado!

Who knew that the jeep would be able to trek across the country with no problem at all?! I sure didn't! Bobby's jeep was left behind in Pittsburgh a few months ago and it just so happens that my in-laws love a good road trip! The two of them hopped in the jeep and drove from the 'burg to Colorado in a 72 hour trip! Here are a few picture from their trip here in Colorado.

They re the tiny little dots in the middle of the picture. This is on the stage at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

Here they are a little closer up

This was somewhere in Rampart Range which is about an hour from our house...I don't remember exactly how we got there now that I think about it.

This was on our trip up to the top of Pike's Peak

The men on Pike's Peak (Bobby cannot handle sunlight...)

The family (minus Kristin)

Where do I even begin...

Wow, it really has been a long time...and so much has changed. I don't feel like I need to go into detail as you all know what happened. All I need to say is, I love you Timmy!

Here are a few pictures of the adorable animals that all stayed together in one house while we were all at my parents!

CJ (Parent's dog), Monty (Brother's dog), and my little man Porter

Benny and Bug-Z. The two cutest cats on the face of the planet.

How adorable is this picture?! Porter's family!

Me and my momma and the pup's

Coming back...

Just a random picture of the mountains!

I swear I am going to update this blog soon!! I have so much to talk about and sooooo many picture to show off.

I hope to have something new up this week so check back!
