On my mind

Today I bought some new shorts. This makes me laugh because it snowed this week, but I couldn't resist. They are really cute and I can't wait for summer in Colorado. It's gonna be full of outdoor concerts, festivals and hopefully some white water rafting!

Our friends the Johnsons were here this week on their spring break skiing. It was so great having them here and really sad seeing them go. Chris and I love them and are always talking about how lucky we feel to have them as friends. They are the kind of friends that you can just pick up where you left off. The best kind of friends.

Rufus is getting bigger and bigger every day. I feel a little sad, cause soon he's gonna be a big dog and not a cuddly puppy anymore. He has figured out how to bark and that he likes to bark at all the small dogs in our apartment complex. I don't find that quite so adorable. Chris and I have been taking Rufus to a local dog park every Sunday. And let me tell you.... dog parks are the coolest! Lots of cool dogs and sometimes cool owners. Good place to meet people and invite them to a cool new church starting next year.

I am planning a St. Patrick's Day dinner. Yep! Corned beef and cabbage with red potatoes. Chris isn't as excited as I am, but I know it's gonna be good!

I am missing my parents so much that every time I think about them I start to tear up. Colorado feels like home, but it also feels like another continent from Texas. I am really hoping they come for a visit sometime soon. I'd like to see those Airhearts.

Someone's face I will be seeing soon is my dear friend Misty and her sweet family. Pregnant with her second baby, I can't wait to see her and catch up on things that we don't remember to say on the phone. Take her to lunch and just be.

Lastly, I know that I am incredibly gushy when it comes to Chris, but I can't help it. I love him. He is utterly and perfectly wonderful. So good to me and to everyone around him. I'm the lucky one.

Don't ever feel like you have to hide those mushy feelings. If you can have them, and live them, and feel them forever---that's what life is about, is it not? You see these couples who are 85 years old & still that way---that's admirable. That's what we all want.

Corned beef & cabbage dinner for St.Patty's day??? Impressive!

I am so excited to see you too! My logical/practical side totally loses out with you being so far away. Sometimes I just miss you like crazy.

Aaaah... summer in Colorado... I will get to enjoy it with you! We had a St. Patricks Day dinner also - loaded baked potatoes and green beer. It was delicious! Did Chris tell you that I will be coming to visit soon too? Over Easter weekend! Jeremy is coming too and I'm excited for you guys to meet him! I'm so pumped to come see you guys and soak up some mountain time!
