Did you enjoy the beautiful Colorado weather yesterday?!?! It was crazy nice out! I made sure to spend plenty of time outside enjoying it. I went to the grocery store first thing and then Donny had the grill started by the time I got back. He grilled up a bunch of food for me for the week and I got my meal prep out of the way before noon!

I took the dogs outside for a while. We think we found where Kevin got out, so we fixed it up over there and hopefully he can’t get out again. Both Saturday & Sunday I let the dogs out and didn’t have Kevin on a leash. I went out there with them and supervised, but he was still off the leash! [Read more…]

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…]

We are officially home and getting into the swing of things on our own. Sadly for me, there are no nurses (I am the nurse). Sadly for Donny, there is no morphine (too bad we couldn’t bring some home…). Friday night was rough, Donny slept through taking a round of pain meds, so early Saturday morning (as in 1:00am) he was one hurtin’ unit!

The bad part is that the pain medication doesn’t kick in right away so it took over an hour for the pain to go away. You always lose the catch-up game with Percocet. Always. Keep that in mind. [Read more…]
