Kellie and Jeremy came to to Denver last weekend and we had so much fun. I think I finally came out of my food and beer coma. =) They arrived on Wednesday and left on Monday morning. On Wednesday night, we went to our favorite happy hour spot Wrigley's. We went to The Breckenridge Brewery on Thursday night, and ate sushi here on Friday night. The beer was good, and the sushi was even better. On Saturday, we headed to Golden to the farmer's market and then to Belmar for an Italian festival. The food, beer, wine, music, grape stomping, games, bocce ball etc. made it feel like we were strolling the streets of Italy. We grilled out on Saturday night which consisted of homemade potato salad, shoepeg corn, and steaks from the Martins. On Sunday, we ventured to the Coors Brewery and then to Twin Peaks to watch football. We had intentions of going downtown to tailgate for the Broncos game, but the birthday boy, Derreck, decided our apartment sounded like a better option. On Sunday night, we went to Park Burger in Highlands and ran into Megan Glover and her boyfriend Cole. It was so random, but it was nice to see a familiar face. We were sad to see Jeremy and Kellie leave, but it's nice to get back into a routine.
I love my job at Blue Heron Elementary School. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and the community is great.
I'm really looking forward to going back to Gregory in a few weeks for my bridal shower and bachelorette party. I feel like I haven't seen my friends forever, and to be honest, some of them I haven't seen in 9 months. It will be so much fun.
The wedding is sneaking up very quickly, so I'm dragging Derreck out to go shopping for a suit to wear and to get his finger measured for a wedding band. Here is how our conversation went. I said, "Let go to the mall and get your finger measured so I can order your wedding band." He said, "I don't want a band at the wedding." Wow! This is a typical Derreck statement, but at least there is never a dull moment.
If you are bored around the Gregory area this weekend, stop by the Gregory Golf Course on Saturday afternoon and watch my mom and Cheryl take on Boogie and Wade Broome in a two-person scramble. They are raising money for the movie theatre in Gregory. I don't know about you, but I would say this is definitely well worth a few bucks. I promise you will get your daily dose of laughing in. Let me mind you that Cheryl has maybe golfed one hole in her life, and those two make quite the pair. Especially when beer and golf carts are involved.
The weather is starting to cool down, and fall is creeping in. Can't wait for hooded sweatshirts, falling leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, and soup.
What is your favorite part about Fall?
Check back later for a few pictures. I'm bad at this whole picture taking thing!
