Is It Winter or Spring?

I sincerely apologize for the lack of blogs lately! I am working on my time management skills now that school has started. Sometimes I wonder how I’m even supposed to get any work done during the day unless I force all of my school questions out of my head.
I am not thrilled that our first assignment involves programming. Any of you that went to school with me at KU, or even knew me at that time, know how bad I am at programming. I think I have made some decent progress on the assignment, but it just won’t work! I hope I am not in over my head. I am going to send my code to my professor and see what guidance he can give me.
This weekend was so nice, in many ways. First of all, I got to spend two whole days with Matt! (Besides the time I spent on school). We took the opportunity to drive to Boulder on Saturday afternoon to watch KU play CU in basketball. We sat in the 6th row! That would never happen in Allen Fieldhouse, but CU definitely doesn’t have the same magical atmosphere as Allen Fieldhouse. I hope KU never builds a new facility.
There were SO MANY KU fans at the game Saturday. It was at least half full of Kansas’ Crimson and Blue. So that was really cool. I just with KU would have played better, even though they won.
Another way this weekend was nice was with the weather! I have heard so many people talk about how cold it has been where they live. Well in Denver, we have been spoiled with 50 and 60 degree temperatures. Tomorrow, the expected high is 70! I feel like we’ve completely skipped winter, but now that I say that, it will probably be cold and snowy until June.
The dogs enjoyed another trip to the dog park yesterday. They both ran and ran. Perdi slept for a while in the evening, but it seems like she never really gets tired. I wish I could steal some of her energy.
Here is my final thought for the day: When Matt and I buy a house, we will NOT have white carpet anywhere. We have white carpet covering our entire rental house and it is SO HARD TO KEEP CLEAN! We are so lucky to have received a Little Green carpet steam cleaner for Christmas. We have certainly kept it busy. Also, whoever decided to put white carpet in the bathrooms in our house was just silly. I just think carpet in kitchens or bathrooms is silly in general. It is so time consuming to keep it all clean, but very important to do so in a rental house just the same!

Don't worry, we will not have white carpet in our house. And I liked having a weekend with you too. It was fun.

Oh that is the stupidest thing to have carpets in the kitchen. I am so messy in the kitchen, I couldn't imagine white carpets. Woolite portable Oxy Deep works great on our carpets for little doggie stains and other stains. This is gross but Bear exploded (not solid)all over our carpet and the little thing got the stains right out. I recommend it. :)

Colorado Craft Beer Week

Matt and I decided to join some of our favorite local breweries yesterday at a craft beer festival to help kick off Colorado Craft Beer Week. It's no secret that craft beer is a huge part of the Colorado economy. Everybody just does it so well out here. It was nice to go to a smaller festival than the Great American Beer Festival where there are too many breweries to even get to every booth. Yesterday's festival felt more like a back yard barbecue. I even got to meet the hosts of the Craft Beer Radio show on AM760. There is a picture of me with Turk and the "Gubna" below. In addition to some good beer sampling, our tickets also included a meal of either beer can chicken roasted for hours on the grill (my choice) or a spicy brat (Matt's choice). The chicken was amazing. I even let Matt try some. :) I also had some fun and took some pictures at the light rail. (We were responsible and walked/rode the train to and from the event.) What a fun day! Even better was c...

Millards meet Mallards

We've had some neighborhood visitors recently. This Mallard duck couple has made our yard its home for about a week now. They showed up right before our camping trip and have been around ever since! We can't find a nest but they seem to like prefer our yard, none the less. Maybe it has something to do with the name? My hope is that they really do have a nest nearby and one day I will wake up to little ducklings wandering around our yard!

June Recap in Photos

June was a busy month around here! I managed to snap a few photos here and there. That's better than I have been doing this month. *I apologize in advance for the spacing of the photos as captions here. Does anyone have any tips for better photo settings in Blogger?? At the very end of May, we drove to Manhattan for my brother's high school graduation. I can't believe he is a college student now!! He will be attending K-State this fall. I guess you could consider us a house divided, except for the fact that I am the only one in my immediate family who ventured out down the road to KU! :) The first weekend of June, Bill and Barbara came out for a visit on their way down to Santa Fe. We took them for a hike near Clear Creek. There has been so much snowfall and rain this year and Clear Creek was gushing water. I had never seen it moving so fast. My friend Liz has been bring out my inner artist. She discovered a place downtown called Sipping and Painting, where they literally w...
