Certified craziness

The last month has been one word.  CRAZY. 

To start off...I did get a conditional job offer to be a dispatcher with the City of Fort Collins.  I had to pass a drug test, hearing and eye exam, and a psychological exam.  I'm pretty dang sure I passed all of them :)  I should be finding out in the next week or so if/when I start.  I will try and keep it updated on here.  This opens up a LOT of possibilities for Neal and me, and well as opens the avenues for a lot of dreams we've had lately.

Now that that is out of the way.

In my Hunger Games annoyance, I forgot to post about the wonderful trip to Estes Park that Neal and I took.  We LOVE Estes.  It's kind of been our thing since we were dating.  We went to a fabulous pizzeria and had a wonderful dinner.  We also stopped on our way down and Neal showed me one of the climbs they do during the summer :) It really was a rather beautiful little hike!


The climb is behind us

Next came a Rockies game.  Last season we lucked out: we went to a game where they were handing out vouchers for a free game THIS season.  So, we got to go to the Rockies game for free, AND we sat in the pavilion!  It was AWESOME!  We were so close to the out fielders!  It was also kind of entertaining to listen to the hecklers sitting in that area!  Neal ALMOST caught a ball during batting practice (but of course, he didn't listen to me and did not bring his glove...)



Yup.  We were that close.

Excited to be there :)

Next came my birthday, and let me tell you, I got treated like a QUEEN!!!!  Neal spoiled me!  He got me presents that I'm SUPER excited about (The Princess Bride, a Rockies sweatshirt, and the most awesome sheet music anyone could ask for).  He then took me to Red Lobster where we tried crab and lobster.  The crab was delish, and the lobster was pretty good (a little chewy for us...).  We then walked around Old Town for a while.  It was SO much fun!!

I am SO excited about this!

A couple days after my birthday I had the grand priveledge of going to the temple with my friend Reyslla and being her escort.  It had been almost exactly a year since I went for the first time, and seeing her excitement and hearing the things she learned that day was such a great reminder for me about how our attitude about the temple should be.  I am so grateful she gave me this opportunity, and for her friendship!


Reyslla and me

Last, but not least, this week.  Neal finished his finals for this semester and definitely passed all of his classes.  Hallelujah!!  He and Shauna and "the crew" (Colin, Jamie, and Tim) started loading in everything for Marilyn MaCoo and Billy Davis Jr. last night.  Talk about craziness!  They are performing Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and then we go back to our regular shows starting Thursday!


And THIS ladies and gentlemen, is the craziness

Neal and I also went and saw Avengers last night.  Only one phrase can describe this move:  holy freaking movie of awesomeness!  I legit think I just found my new favorite movie!  It was so funny and so cool!  Totally going to see it again while its still in theaters!!!
