Breathtaking...

Simply breathtaking.....

This is what myself, Eric, and two of our best friends, Nathan and Christy, got to gaze upon last week. Beautiful Breckenridge, CO

For those of you that didn't know, my friend, Christy and I shared the Awesome Wife of the Year Award last week. About a year ago she and I planned a surprise trip to Breckenridge, CO for our husbands' 30th birthdays. We booked the room and made sure it was the best of the best and then we told them about it around May so that they had plenty of time to take care of the detailed stuff that we either didn't want to be responsible for or had no idea what to do. :)
Nathan and Eric both love to ski and Christy and I will have nothing to do with it so we knew it would end up being an awesome trip. And boy was it!


Mine and Christy's days consisted of starting the day off working out with psycho woman in the resort's gym. Shopping in the precious downtown of Breckenridge, coffee drinking, lots of talking, and plenty of reading. We pretty much looked like this.....

Our hubby's days looked like this.....

Lots of skiing!

The four of us did plenty of this......

 Spades playing

 Eating....

Eating some more:)

We also took a day to all hang out together! We rode the gondola, went snow tubing and ate lunch on the top of one of the mountain peaks!

Here is a sneak peek at how much fun we had snow tubing together:)

These few pictures and blog post don't even begin to describe just how much fun we had together and the awesome memories and inside jokes we now share. It is very rare to have such incredbile friends that you can spend 5 straight days with and not get on one another's nerves. So, if you were to ask us what we think of Nathan and Christy....we would say they are ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!

Thank you both for such an awesome vacation and wonderful memories! We are already looking forward to our next trip together! We love you both!

Sweet Snow Days!

I have LOVED having Eric home with us for the past two days during these snow days. I have heard lots of laughing and giggling. Had lots of snuggle time with Eric, B, and Sadie. Enjoyed watching my brave hubby take our prissy little dog out into the snow to go potty.  Loved watching movies, eating popcorn, and sipping hot chocolate. Our most favorite activity has been building FORTS in the den:)

Here are some pictures from HH that I promised to post. Enjoy!

We visited a fun, FREE, petting zoo!

B was able to ring in the New Year at 12 (noon) at a local Children's museum.

Back to Life....

Ahhh....breath.....Ever have that feeling that you are traveling in a tornado? Yea, me neither! But, for the past two and a half days I have been going non-stop. Until now. My husband will tell you that I love it and yea for the most part I do.
After having a wonderful Christmas in our home with relatives visiting, we took off the very next day to spend a week in Hilton Head with the hubby's family. It was a wonderful trip and a great time was had by all, but when we made our way back home on Sunday my mind was in the mode of list-making with all of the things I wanted to tackle when we got home and why I think I have to have it all done in 24 hours is beyond me. There were things to be cleaned, laundry to be washed, closets to organize ( I LOVE to organize), and consigning items to be gathered (my new favorite hobby), and errands to run.
Now, two and a half days later, it is all done! B went back to preschool today and I was able to run some errands, and now I feel as though we are back to life. Thank you Lord for vacation and rest, and thank you Lord for a clean and organized house and routine!
Here are a few pictures for our family opening our stockings. I will post more pictures from Christmas and HH as soon as I get the chance.
