Winter Time in the Rockies

With the countdown at 15 days until I leave for Costa Rica, I have been trying to do as many 'Winter' activities as possible. The weather has been wonderful. The sunsets have been more wonderful. I am having a great time living life as best as I know how!

 One of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen in Tabernash, CO... Wow I live in a good place.

 It just keeps getting better!

 Other side of the Valley.

My ULTRA smart dog Aumoe. High Five for cheese! True Cheese Head

 Mama and Aumoe Boy! We were just in the woods walking around... I'm a mountain girl now.

 My Step-Mom Dorinda and I skiing... My first day. As of today I have 4 days, the same amount as I got all last season. Yes, I am now a mountain girl :)

My sister Carrie and I skiing. Sunny and beautiful that day

 Aumoe and Santa 2010... 7 year tradition... He hates me.

Me, Dorinda and Carrie skiing on Christmas morning. What a beautiful day of skiing with family and friends.

Carrie, Jessica, and I at Christmas dinner at Grandmas... We are all a little full.

Me, Jessica and Carrie Snowshoeing 3 miles to go eat breakfast! Beautiful day. Lots of exercise and the reward was Mimosas later!!!

The whole crew... It was fun!

Coming down Berthoud Pass.

What a wonderful life I live. I do sometimes like Winter, but I think I will like summer in winter a lot more. Until next time. xoxo.

Road Trippin

Since I don't have a job anymore and I had nothing to do over Thanksgiving I decided it would be a good idea to take a little road trip to the midwest.

The trip started out with my sister and I going to the Kansas City/Bronco game... The Broncos actually won the game and scored a ton of Touchdowns!

Carrie and the flames after a touchdown!

Tim Tebow

Me after they scored!

Sisters at the Bronco Game 11/14/10

Then I went to Des Moines, Iowa and stayed with my cousin Kevin and saw a TON of Windmills! After Des Moines I spent a night with my friend Jenny in Minneapolis... Fun times, but no photos.

I finally made it to Wisconsin and my first stop was Mullins Cheese House in Knowlton, WI... The best cheese house in Wisco and the only place I go. I did visit 3 times in the 2 1/2 weeks while I was there!!!

 Here is a little bit of their cheese selection!

My first cheese curd of the year! The Squeakiest, Warmest, Best Cheese Curd in all of the land!

After I stayed at my moms for 2 nights I went up to my friend Deb's house in Marquette, MI... This photo was taken outside her office window!

This is the Coast Guard Station in Marquette...

 The Waves crashing against the plank!

Icicles on the rock! So awesome.

It was 29 degrees outside and there were 4 surfers at this spot... A little ways up the road there were 5 more surfers. They had their whole bodies covered, but their faces were not covered... I think they fell off when they got out of the water!

The free little metal sculpture park...  A red airplane! BAG!

Metal Sunflowers!!!

Lots of different sweet animals!

Ummmm... I think this only happens in the U P... I wonder where and why they would ever drive this! Pretty sweet though!

The sweetest waterfall in the U P... What a beautiful site! 

HARMONY.

Norman, Me and My Mom... 

After I spent 1 1/2 weeks at my moms house I went to Chicago and spent 2 nights with my cousins family... I went on Michigan Ave. and was looking for Oprah the whole time. I didn't see her, but Michigan Ave. was pretty awesome!

The River in Chi town! Love this city

A little Daisy on Michigan Ave... Its yours for only $8,999... Yes please!

Big Buildings!

Me and Little Maddie! I think she likes me... I like her too! After Chicago I spent 2 nights with my Grandparents in Iowa... No pictures there either, but I did start loving Gin and Tonic's!

I feel like this photo is what Heaven looks like... It was in the foothills of Colorado. This is defiantly home.

After 4,637 miles and 4 books on CD, I finally made it to Colorado. Here's the route: Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and back to Colorado... Its nice to be back, and I do know that Colorado is where my life and home is. Next venture is Costa Rica! 28 more days...

Little Snow Daisy...

I went to Wisconsin to visit my mom and step-dad for Thanksgiving... Oh the joys of being in Wisconsin, Cheese Curds, Being Cold, Dead Deer on the backs of cars, and Scanning Childhood Photos!!! I went through about 500 photos and scanned them all in, here are a few of my favorites... I must say I was VERY cute and a HUGE dork... Enjoy. (I threw in some pictures of Carrie too!!!)
