the parking lot smash

My car was just sitting there...and it was attacked by three other cars...


This is the mustang that pretty much got the worst of it - hard to believe this happened in a parking lot. $2500 later...my car will be back to itself. =(

Meet the parents

So, the parents met this weekend, and here are some pictures! We had a lot of fun! These pictures were taken at the botanical gardens here in denver.

John and Genevieve were in town (sort of), so we got to see them! It was a great visit!



Our first trip to red rocks ampitheatre - we saw an outdoor movie! Fun!

Paul and Andy

Lovely Sandra and her sister Rita!


Yahoo for summer and friends!

hawaii 2007!

Kauai with my aunt and uncle 2007! We had a great time! The weather was amazing, and we had so much fun with my family! There were tons of sea turtles too!

PUPPIES!!

So, i spent the weekend with NINE yellow lab puppies (about 7 weeks old) and they were SO cute! The family got together for father's day - and to spend some time with the pups! It was so fun - because there are so many, they each have a different colored collar and that is their temporary name - unless they've been given a nickname of course. My favorite nickname is Tank - for the pup with the green collar - the reason for his name is pretty self-explanatory. But each of them is sooo precious, and after three days with them, I honestly could not pick a favorite. I want them all! =)

a couple more reception shots

More time with sunglasses - Gips mom is pictured here with me - in her rockin shades.

More reception pics

This was a FUN reception - and toward the end of the night, Gips mom started handing out sunglasses! As you can see, we made good use of them. There were a lot of great pictures taken that night, so i'll do my best to recap with some fun ones!

Gips Wedding

Gips wedding was at a beautiful church - and you can see that the boys looked GOOD - and is in a pic above with Tim and Marco.

The night before Gips Wedding

WE arrived in Ohio late friday night, to find a TON of people hanging in the lobby of the hotel! There was plenty of food, wine, and laughter - not to mention a big sandwhich ring! Featured in the pictures above are PJ and Kat, Mike, Sarah and Tim. This evening was the beginning of a very fun wedding!

estes park

We took a trip to Estes Park for the Jazz festival, but it ended up raining! I put these pictures up though to show the transformation andy has gone through in the last two years. You'll note he's wearing flip flops, a hat, and a zip up hoodie - oh and he has an awesome soul patch! - all of which you probably would not have seen on him before he met me. =) I like to think i'm keeping his style "fresh" - plus i think he looks really good!! =)

A visit from Maryel!
