Okay, so here I sit with a carton of ice cream in my lap and spoon in hand. What better time is there to blog? I just finished eating dinner with Laura, my red-headed, Kansas-livin', boot-scootin' saving grace since my transplant to CO. On the menu this Thursday evening was pan-seared scallops in a white wine sauce. I think the only reason I even typed that is because it sounds fancy schmancy. Not that it wasn't good. I'd give it a "B". But it sure sounded super delectable. Laura and I started weekly Thursday night dinner time in order halt our crazy lives for a moment and catch up (a.k.a. 3 hours of non-stop girl talk). It also gives me a chance to test my wack-o recipes on a willing subject, which I thoroughly enjoy. And she eats her vegetables. So I'm happy. Anyway, enough about food.
I just wanted to update my life really quick, because, well, as I look back and I realize that hasn't happened recently. So hmm... here we go. Skiing has definitely been a yes. A few weekends ago a group of us day tripped it to Winter Park for some fun in the snow, and last Sunday I went up with a friend from K-State and his wife. And he was good - like knock your socks off, ski up jumps backwards, carve like nobody's business - good. This weekend little Liz is headed my way and we'll be skiing one day too - and taking her out in style in a mountain town. I can't wait! Another fun snow-y thing - my first snowshoe adventure occurred awhile ago. It's not quite like I imagined, floating atop the snow and such. It's more like step - sink - pull out your leg - step - sink - pull out your leg. I broke a sweat by the time we headed back to the car. But it's so beautiful and peaceful to trek around in untouched snow, I can't wait to try it again.
Alright, the post has to be cut terribly short. Three phone calls later it's way past my beddie-bye, and adding that to last night's late hours, I'm going to be snoozing in the cube (work is going great - more on that in the future) if I don't get some sleep quick!
Oh, one more thing... weather update: It was terribly foggy in Denver today, but it was kind of snowing at the same time, and sunny too. We were finally told the fog was freezing before it hit the earth, causing it to hover above the ground, almost as if taunting gravity. Weird, huh?
I'm not even going to proof read this. Please forgive my typos and grammer errors. Thank you and happy Friday.

I think just this once I'll let those typo's slide but don't let it happen again. Glad you are doing great kiddo, take care. -Ryan
