Long...way...long

I am almost embarrassed at how long it's been since I posted to my blog. Almost. I had a lot going on...and I was enjoying it. And quite honestly, I had forgotten my password to my blog...and it came to me in a dream last night....so here I sit. I sit looking out the window of our office at the steady stream of airplanes flying into DIA. It's a holiday weekend...and folks are coming home from something fun....I hope. Memorial Day Weekend. A time to give thanks and honor to our vets. Memorial Day always makes me miss my Grandpa A. He was a vet and a very proud American. I miss him. My dad told me a funny story about him that I had never heard before. When my Grandpa was 14 he got sprayed by a skunk. He was so angry about being sprayed...he killed that skunk with his bare hands....even though he was sprayed about 10 more times. You had to know him to see the humor in this....not about the dead animal (that's actually sad)...more about the extend of his temper. I am soooo my Grandpa A on soooo many occasions....but not as many occasions as my brother Bob...he IS my Grandapa A. Ha.
I love living with Todd. I told him the other day that I can barely remember my life without him....and couldn't imagine a time in the future without him by my side. Life is good. We worked 2 days this long weekend at my condo getting it ready to sell. I wish I had done these upgrades when I lived there to enjoy them...oh well.

The weekend was full as usual. Friday night we met some friends out for drinks in celebration of Christine getting out of jail....aka...radio. She starts her new gig next week....congrats my friend. Saturday was Paul and Sharon's wedding in Boulder. It was a lovely evening and a good time was had by all. We stayed at a small cabin just a mile from the wedding...it was perfect. Sunday we had my parents over for a bbq. It was the first time they saw our place...and it made it all very real for me....I actually live here...and I am not just an over night guest anymore. I had to crack up...my parents didn't go into our bedroom during the tour. I wonder if seeing my bedroom with Todd made them uncomfortable?!? Todd played in a golf tournament today (Monday)...and had to get up at 4:30 am....blech. After golf, he met me over at my condo and we painted until around 5 pm. Long day...especially for Todd.

Barkley (Todd's dog) and Sasha (my cat) are getting along fabulously. Well...as fabulously as a dog and cat will. Right now, he is laying at my feet...and Sasha is on her bed (that Susie gave me years ago) glaring at him. Ahhhhh....love is in the air.....totally kidding. Tolerance is in the air. Ha.

My brother moved in with his girlfriend Rebecca. I am super pumped for them. I can't wait to see their place.

Some very sad news. My old dear friend and co-worker Amber P died on May 17th. I don't want to cry right now so that is all I can say...so if you want to know more...ask me.
