Sunday Part 1:

On Sunday we decided to walk up to the "A" (for Ag school) on the foothills to the west of Fort Collins. I brought a white rock to add to it, only to find out that really people just went up there with a bunch of paint. There is also a good view of Horsetooth Rez from the top.

Sunday Part 2:

Matt and I in the middle part of the "A". Then we went for a nice drive up into the mountains.... the fall colors were just coming out. We ended up in Pingree Park.. some land that CSU owns and the Forestry students use.. it was very nice!

Estes Park

On Friday, Karen and I went up to Estes Park to look into some wedding business and to enjoy the fact that we are done with class by 10. It was Karen's first Colorado snow and she was happy. I saw the scary machine that tried to eat me and my G'ma one spring. We found out that it can throw 1,800 tons of snow per hour, YIKES!
Also, there was a very large hawk that we were impressed with.

Yoko and Chiho

Thursday night, we had 2 OT students who were visiting from Japan over for dinner. Meggie, a girl from school came over to visit with them as well. We discussed music, driving, pimps, and a variety of other things. Giggled a lot. I served them beef stew, biscuits and salad. Meggie brought apple pie and ice cream for dessert. It was a blast!

School

These are some pictures from school, proving that it is fun.
Lisa's dog Tulullah, David Greene showing us a 'closed chain" with a leg, magic from the professor visiting from Japan (and a little help from the group)... also, Matt giving me a big thumbs up!

T.L.P Day part 2

Matt's coworkers have been sending him funny pirate things all day.. including this keyboard.

Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Today is a Holiday that I swear must have been invented for Matt... Talk Like a Pirate Day! ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH. Check it out, there is a website and everything!

Jurassic 5!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday morning, Matt and I checked out a venue for the wedding and then tasted some cakes, YUM!
Saturday Night we went to the Jurassic 5 concert at Red Rocks. It was amazing! I can definitely see how people end up spending a lot of money to go to shows there... I wish we had gotten there a little bit earlier so I could have take some pictures when it was still light out. Next time.
Sunday I went to a bridal show with my mom and Emma. On the way home, we stopped by a Greek Festival and ate some good food. WAHOO!

worn out

Matt's commute is doing him in.... not sure how much more he can take!

Labor Day

Dan and Sarah came up on Labor day and played Mexican Train Dominoes with us. Dan really liked the train noises he could dance to. We also enjoyed some Faygo. It was a great way to end a long weekend. Oh, and just for the record, us girls came in first and second with the boys bringing up the rear...as usual.

Football

Saturday we went to the CSU football game.. WAHOO! For some reason, we started acting like thugs.... really, why not? Also, I was showing off my Ithaca is Gorges shirt that Kevin sent... perfect colors to wear to a CSU game. Lastly, we saw a really big pumpkin and Matt was trying to show just how big it was by putting his hat on it. I am amazed it has lasted this long in a college town!

Vail

Matt and I went to a wedding last weekend in Vail. The view from our room was awesome. At the wedding, there was a girl there with almost the exact same dress... good thing I am not the kind of girl that would be bothered by such things! They had a bunch of Orchids and candles hanging, which was really pretty (it kind of looks like snow in this picture)... and they had a few alternatives to their wedding cake, so we had to get a pic of me with all of the desserts (since I am an addict).
