An update

September 15, 2009 by hed27

I’m getting harassed for not updating, but really life hasn’t been that exciting :)  This past Sunday I spent less than 24 hours in Colorado to attend the annual Local Legends Gala hosted by the Boulder County AIDS Project.  They honored my dad as a past board member.  Lots of good food from local restaurants, friends and most importantly my whole family.  We went a little crazy during the live auction – or I did at least – and my mom went along with it.  She says its cheaper than therapy :)

May I present the Limited Edition New Belgium 3 Speed Cruiser bike which will soon take up residence at my brothers house in Ft. Collins?

Damn, Gina!

We went to the Arlington Race Course to celebrate Mr. James’ bday. It was ladies day so the hats were a must.

you can pinpoint the exact moment when you got totally bombed. In my case, it was a Nalgene full of “sweet tea.” yikes.

Some guy sat down with Sarah and I and proceeded to show us his fused together toes:

4th of July in Colorado

July 7, 2009 by hed27

The loss of my Dad this year means we have to start new traditions, which we did with as much gusto as we could.  Pies, fireworks and friends in the new condo and my mom and I in matching shirts b/c it was FREEZING!
