its friday and im thankful

we had a great work week. we started off monday working of course and then met up after work for a 14 mile bike ride. nothing for chan but a great accomplishment for me, it was my first one EVER. chan rides a lot and 14 miles is such a short ride for him but he stuck with me and let us go slower than usual. it was a lot more of a work out than i really thought it was going to be. i am still running in between and i am hoping to run a half marathon next weekend actually. i figure why not?

i dont know who all knows this but chandler brews his own beer. not all of the time of course, but it is a hobby that he likes and is very good at. tuesday he decided to brew the first brew in a long time. i sat out with him while he did all of the work and it seems to have gone really well. he did an apricot beer. it always smells so good when its brewing. it smells like bread baking. its so fun for me to watch when chan is brewing. he enjoys it so much and that is so fun for me. i bet you want to try some when its ready.

the rain and weather did not really cooperate the rest of the week. there was rain and wind and now cold. so for the last few days i have run inside. even if i just run three miles i feel great. i love the feeling you get afterwards. we dont have much planned for the weekend. tonight we will just hang out at the house and i am sure basketball will be on. tomorrow we are going to do what we usually do, hang out get the house picked up etc etc etc.... my good friend chelsea's 25th birthday was this week, shout out chels.... anyway, we may be getting together to celebrate chels! if sundays weather is nice we hope to go out for a long ride. maybe some friends will join us if they can.

i do have a few pictures from this week. i will post them after the weekend. we are so exciting i am sure you want to see everything we have been up to.

have a great friday!!! love you guys!

okie dokie

ok,

so we have been very very busy and have done a lot since our last post. i am upset though because i forgot my camera at most everything so i dont have pictures to show that i have been busy.

so the last blog we had just gotten back from coly... yes, i say coly, i like to shorten words. no, i love to shorten words. just ask Ife. she hates it, but sometimes says a word shortened and that makes me happy.

anyways, i would also like to point out that my blog isnt very funny. i am not a great writer and basically i is just to update everyone on what we are doing. yeah, some people care ha ha, hard to believe i know.

one of the first things we did when we got back from coly was to celebrate our friend kellys birthday at blue mesa and top golf. man o man i love blue mesa and how i love those sweet potato chips. they are so yumm in my tumm. then after we ate we went over to top golf. i had driven past it a few times on my way home but never knew what it was. for someone who doesnt golf or know anything about the game, it was a blast. it is a two story driving range basically that has different games you can play because the balls have a chip in them to record where it landed , at least i think thats how it works. anyway, it was perfect for shelby ife and i because we dont play but they have a full service bar and grill. a few drinks a stolen fry later we were having a great time. they even have tvs for people to watch while golfing. i think the boys found their new fave hangout. oh lordy.

we have been really busy at work so that has been taking up our weeks. we have been working out and chan started riding at white rock again when the weather got nice. i have been running and will start riding as soon as my bike comes in. woo hoo.... we are going to try and ride the hotter than hell 100 mile bike ride in august in whichita falls. hope it goes well! i even got some padded shorts people... kinda looks like there is a diaper sewn into my shorts, it is pretty hilaire.

anyhow, that next weekend, i know you are on the edge of your seats to know what we did. well, here goes, i took the dogs to the groomers that friday and then that saturday we went to ft worth and went to the gingerman with shelbs and brandon and saw their new house again. they have done a lot and shelby has a room for a closet... its is awe. sunday we went home and got the rest of the house stuff done and yard stuff done and i cut coles hair. yes, very eventful weekend.

which brings me to this week. work work and more work! thank you Jesus we have jobs! wednesday we had a guy come over that builds custom furniture pieces and he is going to build me an island and a wine rack and a book shelf. cant wait for everyone to see them. they are going to look great! yesterday chan and i met at HH at houlihans and i tried to go shopping afterwards, usually great after a few drinks, but i didnt find anything. oh well, i promise i WILL try again.... and soon. so tonight we are grilling out chicken for chicken salads and hopefully watching a movie... then tomorrow we may go play disc golf out near where we live.... should be interesting, the last time i played i threw the disc and instead of going towards the basket hole thing it went straight behind me.... how does that happen.... bad throw i guess. then tomorrow evening hopefully we get to hang out with chels and matt and go to zanata with them if chels doesnt have the flu.... i hope she doesnt, i wanna hang out. not selfish really, its two fold, i hope she isnt sick and that we can have a good time eating pizza and drinking vino..... yummmmm

sunday should be church, hopefully, and then getting ready for the week all over again.

this was kinda boring so hopefully next time i will have a bunch of pictures.........


love you guys!

peace out

ohhh Colorado!

soooo, the pictures are from last to first but you will get the jist pf our trip to colorado..... it started with snow and ended with sweetness.... we got to winter park last thursday and went tubing... then the next day the guys went skiing and lynda (m.il.) went shopping and ate at a great little place called carvers... i had theBEST burger there with a glass of wine... i was on vaccation after all! the guys had a great day of skiing and so they went again the next day, go figure.... so lynda and i found a nice hot springs about 30 minutes away and it was awesome... we met some great friends and sat in the springs for about 4 to 5 hours and got some good sun! it was so awesome being surrounded by snow and the mountains and being so warm!

the next day scotts boots broke and he went shopping with us while the guys went skiing for a while and then relaxed for the rest of the day. the rest of us went to grand lake and went shopping and ate lunch, found a great brewery and a few finds.... lynda and i beat the guys in spades... it was awesome...

on to denver it was after an awesome trip with them fam... it was truly the relaxing fun thing we needed right at that moment! it was wonderful.... monday we headed into denver to go see cody jeannie and the sweetest ever judah girl. we had a great time at the park and ate a awesome mexican casserole monday night and just relaxed with them. it was so great to see them in their element and see judah growing so much! she is the sweetest smartest little thing. and boy is she really a two year old... pushing all the limits and buttons... it was funny but we tried not to laugh too much... we dont want bad karma... :)

tuesday we went to the new belgium brewery in ft collins and got to do a tasting of four beers that we dont normally get here and then got to take the free tour.... it was a ton of fun... and so great that we got to do it with my brother. we went home and relaxed some more... played the wii.... played with judah ate some yummmy pappa murphys pizza had some wine and watched some flight of the concords ha ha ha... it was awesome. really just the best time spent with them... i really miss them a lot and it was awesome to get to spend some time with them. we got up early the next day so cody could take us to the airport and got on our plane to come back to dallas... it was a great trip, but we were so glad to see our puppies.... cole did an awesome job with them while we were gone but we missed them! it also felt great to sleep in our own bed too....

today we were back to the daily grind as we call it, but its good to be back... we both had a great day at work and are glad tomorrow is friday! this weekend we have house work kellys birthday party at blue mesa and top golf and then church.... i am looking forward to my saturday morning!

love you guys....

kels and chan
