It's almost March! Where did the time fly to??

Okay, updates...not doing as well with drinking a Nalgene of water per day. Depends on the day - some days require more caffeine to make it through than others!

The FG and I decided to go to Jamaica. We booked our trip from February 21st-25th. Since it is now the 28th, we have obviously gone and come back by now. See next post for all the details on the trip.

Valentine's Day - was amazing! I made a deal with FG that he would plan our date night the Friday before and I would take care of V-Day plans. I thought it would alleviate the pressure from him and then I would have nothing to complain about since it was all on me. For his date night we ended up winging it and went to a play called "Our House". It was a good play and since this was my first date ever going to a play, I found it to be really interesting and a fresh idea. We ended the night with beers and belly laughs.

So for V-Day I decided to go with a a theme...MEXICAN NIGHT! And here's why: I had asked FG to go to a concert with me right before Xmas, although I wasn't sure he was going to agree because it was a ways away and on Valentine's Day. The band we went to see are Rodrigo y Gabriela - they are a brother/sister duo and play guitar amazingly! It helped that he likes them and immediately agreed...even before he realized when the date was. :) Bonus for me as I was going to have a hot date for a hot show! So then I was shopping one day for a V-Day card for him and happened to come upon one with Snoopy wearing a sombrero on the front and when you open it, it read "Muchas Smooches". I thought it was cute and bought it...that's how the Mexi-theme came into play. To continue the theme I bought him a sombrero and stuffed it full of Mexican candies and goodies, including a pinata and a prayer candle. I also made reservations at this place called 12th on Cherokee as they had Mexican entrees for us to choose from. When I showed up at his place, wearing a dress and holding a sombrero, he knew he was in for a treat! He guessed right away what I was doing and we sipped on Negra Modelo's before we headed to dinner. Dinner was fabulous and the show was even better than I had thought it was going to be! We ended the night at his place and he got an extra special treat...details not included ;)

Also happening in February...my sister Ashlee moved to Denver and has been living with me. So far, so good...though I wish she was a little neater and would help clean up a bit more. Other than hanging out with friends she has here, she's been trying to get a job. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as she interviewed at a vet clinic and is supposed to hear back on Monday about if she got it or not. She says it all went well! We'll work on her goals on an on-going basis...job first, car second, apartment third...

Okay, that's all for now as I don't recall anything else important and I want to write about Jamaica!! Those details will be posted soon...

About Me

My photo
I was born and raised in Rapid City, SD. Loved growing up there and am a little sad that my theoretical kids won't be able to grow up there - unless, God forbid, I move back. I moved away for college to Omaha, NE. I went to Creighton University. Great education, great professors - not a good place for young people with an itch for action! I moved to Denver in August of 2004 and love it! I recommend that all people live in at least one other place besides their hometown - the world is so full of opportunities, we just have to move out of comfort zones!
