This...reminds me of our very own Gunther. Maybe we can video taping him during his sessions of "sit"?

Quote of the week:
"Marriage makes everything worse...like if you forget to pay a bill and get charged an extra $74, Johnny can't get new pants!" -a very good friend

(I so needed the laughs tonight...)

"Sure, over the years my heart has been broken.
How can your heart not break when you lose a loved one,
or when a child suffers,
or even when a beloved pet gets hit by a car?
But broken hearts are what give us strength and understanding and compassion.
A heart never broken is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect."
-from a poem by Natalie Bartlett

Beautiful...this albino peacock kind of looks like the snow we're getting in Colorado!

Pretty much nothing can make for a better day than finding out that two wonderful friends are expecting beautiful babies! What are the chances I would find out from both of them on the same day? Yesterday was very exciting! I see lots of babysitting in my future.... : )

You'll just have to guess who the lucky parents are until the news has spread....my only hint is that both couples are in Colorado. : )

Lots of random stuff going on...went to the Air Force Academy b-ball game last night. It was a great game and we won 65-57. This morning we had the most random and hilarious staff meeting e-v-e-r. I finally caved and started taking cold medicine today (after 2 weeks). Tonight I have to do homework again (Biblical School is back in session). I must admit that even though they're saying it will just be cold, I'm praying for a snow day tomorrow so that I have a 5 day weekend! : ) Oh, and Lauren and Chris just changed their wedding date, so their rehearsal dinner is going to be on my birthday : ), next year! Now I won't forget the date...and I'll get to be home for my birthday and spend it having fun with people I love!

Speaking of birthday's...this site will tell you what the Number 1 hit was on the day of your birthday. I have never even heard of the song from mine, but everyone else's was cool! Hope yours is good! Enjoy!

Snow Pictures. Enough said. And from what I hear there may be more to add later on this week! (but those might include me as a snowbunny rather than a hibernating bear...)

My car was strategically parked out of the wind, but others were not so lucky.

Yup. He's cute. : )

Blizzard #1: Yeah...that's a LOT of snow.

This is Carmel's favorite spot because he can see everything that's going on in the neighborhood. Check out the snow piled up next to him!

Christmas Pictures. : )

Check out those reindeer ears...: )

O'Christmas tree, O'Christmas tree....I had to put at least one of 'em up!

Phipps Conservatory- I just like this one...

me, mom and Jen at the museum...in front of the almost 2,000 plexiglass "people" art display
