I did it! I turned 26!!

It has been far too long since I've updated, so the details will likely be scattered!

Knooty took HE and I out for HIS birthday.  We stayed out all night long laughing, drinking and looking at the beautiful Denver skyline from Knooty's apartment at Brooks.  HIS 34th birthday was a blessing, and to have the people we love around us only enhanced the birthday experience.  May I just say, I LOVE DENVER?!

For my birthday (3 days later) we stopped into the Meadowlark where HE was met by an array of talented artists painting live for a recurring Sunday event.  I could not keep him in my company- he was way too excited to paint!  He painted a beautiful peacock that I have put on the wall in our bedroom.

The next week, we took the kiddos to the Zoo with Lynsey and Josh- what a fun day!  We showed up bright and early on a Saturday to beat the crowds. The animals were all in rare form.  The gazelle was standing on his hind legs, the bears were fighting, and swimming and roaring and it was quite the spectacle!  HE joked that the animals must have had a meeting that morning, where the zoo keepers told them that admissions were down and they really needed to perform or be out of a job.  So funny!  We went to a crawfish boil later that night...kind of ironic now that I think of it.

Last Friday we went to RadRocks for a 180 Ministries benefit featuring DJ Vajra and Brian Head Welch formerly of Korn.  His testimony was amazing.  He has been through a lot of things that dwarf my "wild days" and make me feel like a saint.  I am so proud to belong to a loving, forgiving God.  He certainly can redeem anyone!

Last night, as usual was supposed to be an early night.  Met with E to have a cocktail for her birthday and it turned into an all nighter with the wonderful Jed Kopp, Rev Jim Norris and the girls at Three Kings.  I woke up wondering to myself, "How am I going to make it through the Matt & Kim concert tonight?"

....I'll let you know ;)
