Crazy Weather and other Randomness

Boy, are we getting some crazy weather lately!  Yesterday we had a beautiful 80 degree day...this morning I woke up to snow!!  And I thought the Yoop had crazy weather.  The nice thing...when it snows around here it never sticks around for long, and usually warms up a day or two later.
I have been seeing signs for garage sales lately and wish I had someone to go with.  Michael works every Saturday, and I really don't want to go by myself.  I don't really need anything, and have no room for extra stuff in our apartment, but I would like to find some golf clubs.  I think it would be fun to try golf again.
I am waiting for some warm weather so that I can repaint by coffee table.  I was hoping to do it this weekend, but it sounds like we are supposed to keep getting rain :(  One of these days I will get around to it.
Anywhoo...not much else is happening around here, work and watching hockey EVERY night!
Hope everyone had a great day!

Aquarium, Jam and Hockey

I have been meaning to post something on here for awhile...just now getting around to it.
This past Saturday I decided to try making jam.  For some reason I always thought it was hard and time consuming.  It is actually pretty easy to make....and it turned out really good!

I had some left over strawberries, so I made some baking powder biscuits and we had strawberry shortcake...Yum!

Last night we went to the Avs vs. Sharks playoff game.  Dwight Helminen was able to get us tickets, so we got to see him play!  It was a lot of fun...The atmosphere is totally different for playoff games...I even got into it!  He also got us access passes, so we could go talk to him after the game down by the locker rooms.  We weren't able to talk to him very long though...they were headed straight to the airport after the game.

A few pictures from the aquarium...we went there on Friday (sorry, it's a little out of order)

I can't wait!

I found out today, that I got the time off I asked for so we can come home!!  July 30-Aug 9, I can't wait!!!

Beautiful night for a walk!

Tonight when I got home from work I was able to convince Michael to come for a walk with me.  It was such a nice evening...warm, with a little bit of a breeze so it wasn't too hot.  We found this nice walking trail that I never knew about.  It winds along a little stream, and there is some huge houses to look at...I love looking at houses!  It also goes by a couple of nice parks.  It's a little better than walking around our lake a couple of times.  I told Michael I should start running that trail.  Haha...we will see if that ever happens!

Visitors

I have really been slacking on updating this thing lately...sorry.  I never seem to have anything to write about...I guess pictures will just have to do!

Our week with my Mom, Dad, Anneli and Natalie was a lot of fun.  On Tuesday we took a drive up to Estes Park and did a little bit of hiking.   Me, Anneli and Natalie weren't exactly prepared for hiking, we were all in sandals, tromping through mud and snow.

On Wednesday we went skiing at Breckenridge, it was a beautiful, warm sunny day.  The snow wasn't very good, but we still had a lot of fun.

After our visitors left Sunday morning, we went skiing at A-Basin.  They had 7 inches of fresh powder!  It was the first time I have snowboarded in powder...and boy is it hard!  It definetly tired me out quickly, but we had a lot of fun!  In the afternoon the sun came out and it was so pretty with all the trees covered in snow.  Unfortunatly my camera died, so I didn't get any pictures.
