Perfect Trip to Pueblo (Colorado)

This past weekend (although now a new weekend is upon us) we decided to take a trip to Pueblo, Colorado to visit Eric's best friend, Andy. The two have been best friends since elementary school and since Andy is about to ship out for his third tour since joining the army we wanted to run and see him again. It all began on a positive note with Foosa taking his normal position in the suitcase. We left the dogs at home this time and had various relatives come and stay with them.
After one heck of a long drive, we arrived at 3:30 in the morning - at that point I had been awake for nearly 24 hours. You can imagine my glee when we were lead into the room we would be staying in. I was speechless, part of it being tired like a crazy woman, and part of it being... well, pure bliss:

















We decided at the last second to rent a car so we wouldn't be putting so many miles on the Subaru. The rental place was about to close and all they had was an SUV - which we didn't want to put gas in - or this:





It was pretty damn nice! It got better gas mileage than the Subaru and it was fast! I enjoyed driving this a lot. I've decided I definitely want something similar when we go to Canada for our honeymoon. It wasn't flashy looking or anything but was super fast; which I liked because it didn't attract attention from...certain parties... like a sports car might.


Here's Eric's friend Andy striking a goofy pose. The whole family is lots of fun.


The veteran couple was continually disgusted by our prodigous and frequent displays of affection - which many are. So Eric made them pose as though they were a newly wed couple. This is what we got.


If I knew how to rotate a picture, you'd be able to see this one much easier of the whole family...here is Andy, Tamara, Andra, Dylan and Eric - who was named after some guy they met one day.

Of course we can't be taking a trip to practically Denver and not come away with some spoils. Here are my newest jewelry acquisition- pink and Broncos!!
Here is the rest of our loot; the big Broncos container at back I got from Walmart to carry home all my Popeye's Red Beans and Rice which was fortunately located near Andy's house - they hadn't even heard of the place! Such a travesty. I was happy to show them the magical ways of the Red Beans and Rice. They also had a great selection of Bears stuff which pleased no one in particular. I don't even really know any Bears fans, we just picked up some random things to give away in case we ever meet one.

It's Getting Closer....

Holy crap, Christmas is closing in at a record pace... at times it's snail pace and other times it's way too fast. For the weeked we were going to go to the Temple and see the lights, but the kids ended up not wanting to go, and I was okay with that. It's too cold out there!

Saturday we took the kids to the mall and let them pick up presents for eachother and for each parent. Tommy is sooooo excited to give Eric's present to him this year -it's so cute. I don't think that Eric reads this, but on the off chance that he does I'll have to reveal it after Christmas.

I got this pic of my adorable and precious angel Foosa camping out in the sink:
The news kept going on and on about how big the moon was on Friday, that it was the biggest since 1993... it looked like a normal moon to me - cool and misty through the clouds though.

On Monday morning, I caught this beautiful sunrise on my way to work....


I am probably going to be doing the jury duty thing tomorrow...
