Who knew that living on a cul-de-sac could be so much fun?! I sure as hell didn't! We got very lucky when we moved into our new house last year by meeting some amazing neighbors!
Here are a few pictures from a couple fun weekends with the gang.

Tenicia, Dominika and me
Happy Birthday Tenicia!Ahhhhh, summer. It doesn't get much better than the summer in Colorado. This was my first Rockies game with Sarah!
I think I may have eaten nachos with extra cheese AND dippin' dots. It's a game, you have to eat like that or it's just a sin. Yum!
Great seats!
Meg and SarahHere is how the conversation went...
Meghan: "Please don't make me have a bridal shower"
Liz: "You have to have a bridal shower, you are getting married"
Meghan: "No"
Liz: "Oh well"
Here are the pictures from my bridal lunch/party/get-together/hang out session. Not a bridal shower!

Thank goodness for Liz!
The gang watching me open presents. Awkward...
A few very close "family" members! Barb and Phyllis have been around since the day I was born and Katie has been around since we moved to Peters Township about 10 years ago. Great people!
I don't even know what to say...

July 4th, 2009 - Hanging out with our neighbors watching some fireworks!
July 4th, 2008 - Getting engaged?!!!Yes, you read that correctly. Roughin' it. As in Camping...in the mountains...with no cell phone or Internet service...for 36 hours.
I loved every minute of it! Okay so it rained, and by rained I mean spilled large buckets of water from the sky throughout the night BUT we had a trailer. Thank the lord for that trailer! Brent and Jana were nice enough to ask us to come along for a weekend in Vail. Bobby said "yes", me...not so much. There was a little convincing but I am so glad that we went!
Yes, we had a trailer with a bathroom, shower, kitchen and beds but who is keeping track. I went camping!
There were a few hiccups along the way but nothing that 4 adults and 3 dogs couldn't handle. Yes, all the dogs were there, Tino, Diezel and Porter. Diezel is a wild man and Porter tries so hard to keep up but he loves his nap-time. Diezel was not giving Porter his nap-time...
We started at about 9,000 feet and went up to 10,500 for some better views!
This is what we saw when we arrived at our campsite - amazing!
Me taking 500 pictures of Porter in the side mirror of the Jeep
This is what we saw driving up the mountain!
Aspens
Amazing view from the trailer
My first camping trip!
Brent and Bobby after a long ride in the rain
This is what Porter and Diezel did for 24 hours straight...nonstop
The sky was gorgeous!
Best buddies
Our Camp site (thank heavens for that trailer!)
We went up a little higher on the quad (10,500 feet up)
Look at me - down and dirty on a quad with no makeup!
Brent took Tino for a ride and he loved it!
We were all searching for Porter as we were packing up the cars getting ready to head home. Somehow he snuck his way into Brent and Jana's truck to take a nap. 
Some of the views on the way back down
A few amazing homes in VailSo little time!
Here are a few pictures form a few weekends of sightseeing. We try to see a different place every weekend and of course Porter comes too.
