Tuesday Ramblings

Feliz Cinco do Mayo! Matt has his first interview at the hospital today for a day position. I haven’t heard anything official yet, but I’m sure he will do great! We both really want him to get this. PLUS, he would be working with residents if he gets the job, which he would be really good at.
I have been learning a new software package at work, since we have temporarily run out of airports. I miss them! This new stuff is hard to get the hang of. But it is good to have a little break for a while. The next batch of airports gets started next month and then I’m not sure how much time away from the office I will have. There is a lot of work there. I have a business lunch and dinner with the main client for the big airport project on Thursday which I am very excited about. Hopefully some good networking will be done there. It’s always great to know who I am dealing with and working for on a personal level.
On the home front, we are going to have another friend come visit this weekend. Matt’s buddy (and mine) Marcos is going to be out here for a bike race, so he is going to stay with us. We are very excited for this. Once I get my class finished up and can get the house a little cleaner, I will be 100% ready for him to be here!
Today when I talked to Matt on the phone, he sounded a little exasperated about Perdi. She still gets into everything like a little kid. The funny thing is that Pongo was telling on her. He would go up to Matt and wag his tail, even though he knew Matt would be leaving for work soon. When Matt would go find Perdi, she would be getting into something bad. So everytime Pongo did that, Matt knew Perdi was up to something. Dogs are so funny! I love how mellow and obedient Pongo is now…he’s so much like a well behaved person. I can’t wait til Perdi gets to that point.
Well, I’d better get started on school stuff. It will be so nice to have that finished until the fall!

Soul-Level Joy

Lately I’ve been blessed to notice myself experiencing soul level joy more and more. The best way I can describe it is just feeling happy at every level. Physical, emotional spiritual. It almost takes my breath away when I stop and soak it up. I wanted to capture one such moment here.   Lately Allie has been doing SUPER kind things (that I can not fathom myself doing at her age). For example, she brought one of her Happy Meal toys to dinner with us the other night at a restaurant and decided on her own that she wanted to give it away to a little girl sitting nearby. The joy on the girl’s face was priceless. Her grandma was stunned. Allie has such an incredibly generous spirit. She loves making others feel loved and special in her own 3 year old way. Sometimes she will also share her beloved French fries with Matt and I. 😱 Today we took Allie to the Denver Aquarium. This girl just loves to explore and “go somewhere” and we live in a great city to indulge her adventurous spirit. The...

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...

Political Aside

I’m going to apologize in advance for making this blog political for today. There is just one recent development I can’t help but post about. Last week, Congress passed a bill that made it a lot harder for credit card companies to take advantage of people through late fees and overlimit fees. Sounds great, huh? This bill would have been a lot better if there hadn’t been a certain “add-on” bill piggy backing on to the credit card legislation, making it legal for concealed weapons to be carried in national parks, as long as they are licensed and registered. Now unless you are going into a national park to shoot condors or bald eagles (which is ILLEGAL!), I cannot think of a single reason why you would need to have a concealed weapon in a national park. It’s not like they are huge hot spots for gangs, thugs and violence. National Parks are set up as a refuge for endangered species and a place where wildlife can live uninhibited. Where a hunting license would be required to shoot wildlife ...
