Sunday Morning

Gotta love 'em. And this one in particular. Josh made us another great breakfast and now we're both sitting on the couch drinking our coffee. Josh is busy reading Small Favor by Jim Butcher. We both absolutely love the Dresden Files, and this is the newest one in the series. I won't read it until my next exam is over in two weeks, but watching how much Josh loves it is making me very excited to read it.



For me, I'm just blogging away and watching the Food Network on tv. I love Everyday Italian, but seeing as she just made fried donuts covered in chocolate and sugar, I seriously doubt she actually eats anything she makes...



Last night we went to the symphony in Denver with Josh's fam. It was a really great show! And before we went we stopped at Bonnie Brae's pizza near DU. They have awesome pizza and cheap beer, couldn't ask for more!



And, of course, the best news ever..... The Avs are moving on in the playoffs!!! Woohoo!


That news might only be second to the fact that Denver is, in fact, the Napa of beers. I think we always knew it, but it makes me want to keep my fridge stocked with all the area's offerings. I am also thinking we need to start planning a beer tour of the front range. Anyone who's interested, get in touch! And check out this article to read about Colorado's awesome beer country!

Yes, we're still alive...

Well, we're sitting here tonight drinking some Fat Tire and watching game 5 of the Stanley Cup playoffs: Avs vs Wild. We can't help but cheer a little extra harder due to the competitive nature of the match! After all, my fam back in ND is seriously cheering for the Wild. Booooo.... Not cool to cheer for an injury Wild fans.....not cool.

On Tuesday night we got to go see the Avs in person and it was a great game. Super physical, but really fun. It didn't hurt that they won 5-1. Here's a pic I took of the place freaking out after the first goal!




Let's just hope they can keep up the momentum tonight!


Last weekend we also went bowling with our friends Wes and Cristin and it was a lot of fun. We went to this crazy bowling in Golden where you can win money if a colored pin shows up at the right pin position. We didn't win anything (except Cristin won a dollar!) but it was a good time.


Josh has been taking Rocky for lots of running and swimming and otherwise getting disgustingly muddy at Cherry Creek state park. Last week we even had our first 80 degree day! So, since spring has truly started here, the park has been incredibly busy. It drives Josh nuts to be so sandwiched in an outdoor space like that, and it only gets worse when you're trying to run with Butthead. Rocky not only runs like Danny Devito as the Penguin, but he's distracted by all things shiny and moving. Lisa doesn't know how he does it, she gave up trying to run with Rocky over a year ago when Rocky (to be completely uncouth) crapped himself before she had to be to CSU to teach, so she had to give him a shower in the back yard with the hose. Gross.


Josh has been cooking up some sweet breakfasts on the weekend lately, and we only bring it up so we have the opportunity to show this picture:



Green eggs and ham! It's like what every kid grows up and hopes to really have for breakfast one day. Awesome.

Well, that's about it for us. A whole month wrapped up in a 15 minute post. Wow. We are boring. Hope to hear from ya all soon!
