First of all, BRONCOS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL! The game was a blast yesterday. It was quite intense the last 6 minutes…… Our defense played lights out and it was amazing!

We had a very busy weekend. We left work early on Friday and my surprise birthday evening started. Donny actually booked us a night stay at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. It is beautiful there! We had a great time. The hotel called a few days ahead of time and started these intimate dinners with alcohol pairings. They had an opening for us to do their whiskey pairing, which included a six-course meal with a different whiskey paired with each dish. Very cool! There were 20 people or so and the chef came to talk to us about each dish as well as the two whiskey experts for the hotel. Totally worth the money! We had a blast. [Read more…]

Unfortunately I woke up this morning and was not a millionaire. No winning the PowerBall for the Edson’s. Too bad. We would have done some fun things with all those dollar bills!

It is pretty fun to talk about winning. We did at work a little bit and my dad decided we would buy a company jet. Only makes sense. We would use to mostly to go to all the away Broncos games… not necessarily radio things. [Read more…]

Donny had his four week check-up yesterday afternoon and the surgeon was really impressed with his progress! He was really excited with how well Donny has done and says he heals really quickly. Compared to 70-year-olds I am guessing that’s true…. just kidding Donny, you do heal fast.

He thought his scar looked 8-10 weeks old, not 4 weeks old. Crazy! Plus he got his knee to bend to 102 degrees, which is awesome. His goal is 135 degrees like his right knee. [Read more…]

It is Christmas week!!! I had a huge sigh of relief Saturday afternoon when our Christmas Capital of the Plains events wrapped up. It is fun to do the events but it is a month long promotion that takes a lot of time! It is nice to have it over.

Our ice sculpting competition was awesome. Most of the teams had competed before and I felt like the sculptures were better this year than any other year. Check out Christmas Capital of the Plains on Facebook for pictures of the sculptures. [Read more…]

Donny & I did end up going to see the new James Bond movie last night. We went on an official date. My favorite kind of date too…sweat pants included!

We both loved the movie! Not as many cool cars in it, but plenty of action.

Does anyone else think that Christoph Waltz makes a fantastic bad guy?!?! He was the controlling husband in the movie Water for Elephants and he’s been in quite a few other movies. He was in Django Unchained, but I never saw that movie to know what kind of character he plays. I think he makes a great bad guy. He is in Spectre and just gives such a great creepy vibe. Maybe it is his voice. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I like watching him. [Read more…]
