we should post…its been awhile…life seems to move faster than we can keep up with…but here you go….a post! And a very random post at that 
An update: Nick is one week away from the end of the semester. He is sitting on the couch right now writing a paper on Transit Oriented Development (his “planning passion”) related to malls as town-centers that are privately owned versus town-centers that are publicly owned and people’s disorientation between the two. Post-finals he is going to finish the kitchen (crown-molding and garbage disposal)….for real, can we get some pictures! its looking amazing!! In the mean time he is also working…count them…three jobs…part-time at Denver’s public transportation district, a teacher’s assistant, and a research assistant. whew!
As for myself, I am cranking away at the night shift which is a job I like but am struggling to remain afloat on this schedule. I sleep A LOT and feel hung-over the rest of the time. Can I boast about my AMAZING husband who is super patient with me??? I have two weeks left of class, Nurisng Theories, all for my MSN….this week we studied theories related to caring (yak!)…but I am loving the idea that someday I won’t have to work holidays OR weekends I LOVE being in school. New ideas, structure, writing papers. Even though after 6 hours of reading about “caring” I seriously want to vomit on myself.
Its snowy here in Colorado. We are having (at this VERY moment) the 3rd blizzard of the year. It’s not even officaly winter yet. We decided not to train for a spring marathon this year so we can get the most out of our ski season. Day off…20 mile run or 6 hours on the slopes…um, ya. We are STOKED! about ski/snowboard season!! Nick decided to become a yogi…and attended his 1st (or maybe 2nd) yoga class with me last week. Oh, it will be so fun to do yoga together!
ok…some pictures…if this whole posting this works out
1) nick, writting a paper.
2) my super cool wine rack because I LOVE wine. I have been saving wine bottles over the last several months so I can make some wine this season. I need 30 bottles and have about 22 right now. drink up!
3) I made tamales last night. A vegan recipe. Black Bean and Spinach. I used coconut oil instead of lard (because it is very good for you!!) It took longer than I thought it would. 5 1/2 hours…but they taste so good!
4) Our christmas tree. Its in a bucket of water in the basement right now. We can’t find our Christmas tree stand. We went to 3 stores tonight and they were all SOLD OUT! That’s my “job” tomorrow before I go to work…find a christmas tree stand
5) A random picture from our Halloween party at our house. The first party that we’ve hosted in Denver. In chicago we were known for having “good” parties. This one was definately “good”!! I was the swine flu vaccine and Nick was the swine flu
paper is due tomorrow!
my new super awesome wine rack!
halloween pa-tay!
Yea! Another yogi in the family! I hope you like it, Nick!
