UPDATES as Promised!

Well, Lee and I just finished our first 5k. He might say it is our last, BUT I have a feeling I can talk him in to another. The run was called the Firefly 5k, and was a night run! Everyone was dressed in lights and items that glowed. It was such a pretty scene.

The run also consisted on a costume contest. Lee thought the guy in the toaster costume was the best, had to get a picture. :)

So, Lee and I just celebrated 4 years of marriage. We have never been big on gifts, so we thought it would be fun to spend one of the last weekends of summer in Fairplay, CO. Lee booked a horseback riding day. We had a lot of fun!

Here is Lee and his horse, Grandpa.

Here is a picture of me and my horse, Tonka. He was kind to me...most of the time. Well, those are just a couple of things we have done recently. Stay tuned!

UPDATES!!!

MMM...k. So, it has been a LONG while since I (Jen) have updated about ANYTHING!! Some major things that have happened since our last post are (not in any order): 1. We got a second dog named Lumen!! Love her! 2. My sister (Jen's) moved to South Africa...and had a baby! 3. My (Jen's) brother got married. 4. My mom and I went to visit my sister. 5. I traveled to Mexico to see my friend Lori get married! I also went to Boston and Nashville with some amazing friends! 6. Lee traveled with friends to New York (i think), Chicago, Vancouver, and Seattle. Some of those trips were to see Rammstein (sp?). 7. We bought a loft in Denver! 8. We sold our house and MOVED!! All in all, A LOT has happened, so I am going to TRY and add pics to keep our friends and family updated...even for some that don't have a facebook account.

New York, New York...

We had so much fun in New York City! The first night we got there it SNOWED! We had a great dinner and went to see and amazing show called Fuerza Bruta. We both definitely recommend this for all!! It's like nothing else.
Some other things that we enjoyed were a Pizza Tour, massages in Chinatown, dumplings at Broom and Eldridge, chicken tikka masala in Little India, Staten Island Ferry, Rock of Ages on Broadway, National Comedy Theater, Canal street, Souths in Tribeca, Little Italy, Avatar, World Trade Center site, Charmin bathrooms, Century 21, Central Park, Ghostbuster's building, Union Square Holiday Market, Bryant Park, Patsy's Pizzeria, Museum of Sex, Flat Iron building, Top of the Rock, Magnolia Bakery, and the Tic-Toc Diner (ok, so maybe we didn't like this last thing).
Well, all in all we had a great time and we know there is plenty to do the next time we visit. I (Jenni) would prefer that the next time be at a time when the temperatures are above 70. :)

Our 1st Anniversary in England

Lee and I thought it would be fun to visit our friend Ben in England. He is currently living there for at least a couple of years, so we thought it would be a great way to celebrate our 1st anniversary! We stayed with Ben in Windsor and visited London by day. We did spend one day traveling to Bodiam, Dover, and Canterbury. The Bodiam Castle and White Cliffs of Dover were my favorite! We had a great time and enjoyed all that London had to offer.

Colorful Colorado

Wow! We had a blast on our most recent trip! Lee and I invited a few friends to Colorado for a spectacular weekend! We started the weekend with some whitewater rafting! It was TONS of fun!

On Sunday, we got up super early to hike a 14,000 ft. mountain (Mt. Democrat). Yes, Penny went too! It was the HARDEST thing I have ever done, and I could not have done this without Lee's encouragement.

Travelin'

It has been quite awhile since our last post. The month of March was full of traveling for both Lee and I. I spent my Spring Break in Peru, visiting Julie. We had a great time. A few days after I got back from Peru I left for New Orleans for a NSTA convention. Brittany and I were roommates and we slept in the most comfortable beds ever! It was like sleeping on a cloud...

The same day I left for New Orleans, Lee left for Colorado. He went skiing at Winter Park with 11 other people. They had a blast even though Lee came home injured. He extended his stay when JP and JJ went to skied at Breckenridge.

'Tis the Season

Ok, we thought it was time for a little update. Since our last post many great celebrations have passed. First, there was the addition of my nephew, Noah. He is super cute. Next, there was Thanksgiving with the family, Christmas with the family, and lastly, New Years with friends at the 4th annual "New Year's Eve at the White House". Lee and I have enjoyed five months of marital bliss...well, we are just really happy! With this post, I will include a few pictures from Christmas.



Penny was not too fond of her outfit, but she was super cute for a whole 5 minutes.

My super cute nephew, Frosty...I mean, Noah Riley!


We hope you all enjoyed the Holiday Season!
