Pictures from the weekend

So I decided to take a break from folding the laundry while watching Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives to update everyone on what Trav and I have been up to. So two weeks ago we had a get together here at the house, sort of a house warming, wedding party, house party. We themed it "Rubik's Cube" so everyone had to come dressed in one article of clothing of each color on the cube. The goal was to become one solid color by trading pieces of clothing with people. It was a blast and well there are some stories that we just need to explain in person.



Then just this past weekend it was filled with more socializing. Friday was low key, which I always enjoy. Saturday was a Weim day. Kaiser and I had yet to go to an event since we have been back since we just seem to not have time. So we headed out to the dog park to see everyone, which was perfect because he was WIRED!! Later that evening we had a cocktail and app party at one of volunteers homes, just in a suburb away from us, however she lives in a HUGE house in an amazing gated community. It was a beautiful home but really just not my style. I just can't handle paying for a lot that is all home and now yard, especially with the pooch. :) We did have a great time though.

Sunday morning I met up with my girlfriend Shannon for an Indoor Triathlon up north of Denver. The tri consisted of doing laps for 10 minutes, riding on a spin bike for 30 minutes and then running on a treadmill for 20 minutes. Shannon rocked it as she got 4th place overall and somehow I managed 11th overall, though my swimming was definitely not my high point. After the tri we headed out to Mimi's Cafe for brunch where we wolfed down our food like we hadn't eaten in days. It was great though, I love spending time with her and just never seems to happen enough. Later that day Trav came home from his workout and errands and brough home a new BBQ!!! We both had been saying we really needed one so after some research on Trav's end he found the perfect starter grill. So he grilled us up some delicious steaks, potatoes and beans. It was perfect!!!!



I am so glad we had such a beautiful weekend, which ended in rain and we welcomed about 6-8 inches of snow this morning. Oh and we finalized where we are going for Memorial Day, South Dakota! So excited for this trip. We are packing the dog up and going to do a road trip and visit the Black Hills, Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore and more. It will be great. :)

I love the rubicks cube idea. Marvelous! Where did you come up with that?

I can't believe you guys are still getting snow. Does it snow this late every year?

Love you both!

It was an online idea.
