A couple weeks ago a good friend of mine invited me to go with her on a girls night out. We started the night by going out to dinner at the Vesta Dipping Grill in Denver. This is a great restaurant that serves different sauces with your food for you to dip it in…it was delicious. I had the duck, which I have never had before and it was to die for it was so good. Afterwards we were going to go country dancing (but the club wasn’t open yet) so we went to a sports bar and played pool. We were all REALLY bad and soon had people watching because we could NOT sink the 8 ball. Finally it was time to dance, it was fun to be in a dancing atmosphere again (even though I have no idea how to country/line dance). It was a fun night that made us all feel young and alive again!! Yay for girls nights!!

Mapleton Hike
It is the last weekend of January in Colorado and it was sunny and 63 degrees and…I didn’t have to work. Annie and I decided to pack a picnic (pb&j- yum) and go on a hike up Mapleton…it was beautiful. The Mapleton Hike overlooks Boulder and, no matter the season, it is quite a sight. We had fun hiking through the woods and slushy muddy snow!!
| It is tricky to get a picture of you and a dog when you are the one taking the picture (and the dog is not interested). |
Da Dog
Here are some pictures of Annie, the dog, mainly for the pleasure and relief of her owners but also for proof to all you nay-sayers that Ben and I are actually caring for a dog. She is so well behaved and go much fun (like a personal toy). Here are some pictures and videos of things we have been doing with her. (These are things that are probably normal to a ‘dog owner’ but since this is Ben and my first dog experience, or pet for that matter, everything is exciting and worth documentation!!)
Annie loves plastic milk (and orange juice) containers. Here is a video of Ben giving her one. The reaction is not as... BIG as it usually is (I think she was confused because we were both watching). But it becomes her favorite toy for days (or as long as I can stand having a milk container sitting around the house).
| Annie decided to roll in the snow on our hike. She rolled long enough for me to laugh, pull out my camera and take a picture. It really was funny!! |

Annie had to get a bath after our hike, she was muddy and slushy. After her bath's we rush her outside because she get's hyper and wants to run. Here is a moment of that 'after-bath-exuberance'. For the split second that I actually catch her running on camera- you can see pure joy on her face!!
