I have the BEST Friends!!!!

Let me start out this post by saying I have the BEST girlfriends!!! This weekend was amazing!

For those that didn't know what was going to happen, my bridesmaids/best girl friends, flew out to Denver this past weekend to surprise me with Bachelorette weekend. It was a whole story of how Ahna and Travis schemed, planned and tricked me into having NO idea what was going on. Trav had me convinced that his buddy Jim was coming out for the weekend, they were going to do a Bachelor weekend and well I was on my own for plans. I was looking forward to a weekend of relaxation but yet sort of annoyed that I had no idea really what to do. AND I was even more annoyed, though I offered to go pick him up, because I really just wanted to go to the gym and go home. Hahaha

So needless to say I was uber surprised when Ahna of all people is standing outside the airport, especially since she was JUST HERE! She is AMAZING! Ao Ahna, Lindsay and Jacinda flew out, kidnapped me for the weekend and Jim still came out and did guy things with Travis. The girls and I stayed at this super fun hotel, The Curtis, on the 15th floor which was themed Music. Friday night was supposed to be a night in, however after opening my new presents (I finally got some wonderful new little items...) and a few shots, well that plan got changed and out we went! Lets just say that many, many, many shots later we had been to three bars, and closed the last one down.

Saturday I hurt...I don't really remember how much I had to drink, all I know is that food did not make it into my stomach until around 3pm. We did some shopping, enjoyed the fantastic weather and relaxed a bit. Then I was hit with ANOTHER surprise! As we are sitting at the hotel bar, The Corner Office, I was surprised with all my Denver girlfriends coming in to surprise me! We had a fantastic dinner, went to a Champagne bar, and three other bars. This evening was a bit more tame for me, but the other ladies definitely had a ball! Sunday was the most relaxing of all days, we met back up with the boys and said a farewell.

There are so many more details that it would take me all night to write about them, I wish I could post some pictures, but I don't have any yet. Either way all I can say is that my friends are the best. I miss my friends in Portland/the Northwest to pieces, but really know that I have made some fantastic friends here in Denver. Thank you everyone for caring so much about me to do this for me. I love you all..............

Too Much Together Time...

So I have to say something that I don't ever recommend is planning a wedding, doing home remodels and working. This is what Trav and I have decided to tackle. Somehow we have yet to kill each other, but we have only put up the ceiling...

For those that don't know, Trav starts his Masters program this week, he is getting his Masters in Engineering Management. We were hoping to have our new office done in time for the start but I think we both under estimated the amount of time it was going to take. I do feel like the hardest part is done, dry walling the ceiling, and both of our backs feel it.

Next we are dry walling the walls, tape and plaster the ceiling and walls, then we will sand down the plaster on the foundation, mount the door, paint it all and then paint the desk, add shelving, book cases and viola. I didn't think it would take this long but I am super excited for it to be done.

Ahna and Kyle were just here last weekend and Kaiser has decided the chair is his favorite spot to bond with people.

I am so glad Kyle and Ahna were able to make it, though the reason they came, the Pittsburgh Penguins, they lost to the Avalanche made it a sad day, we still had a ball! We ate a ton, had great conversation, explored Boulder, they even saw Mountain goats. I really think that they are becoming great friends with Trav and I and I can't wait to vacation with them more.

So now we are five weeks out from the wedding, I am becoming pretty much stressed out consistently. I am making an effort to work out 5-6 days a week to help keep the stress down, and well keep me sane.

So now it is off to bed to try and catch up on some sleep and TGIW!
