Hey there! How was your weekend?? I took a little trip to the Front Range for some continuing education classes while Ken and Brooke stayed home and played! It was a different kind of weekend than the usual.
Last week, we started getting dustings of snow…
Brooke and I made it back to Storytime Stretchers for the first time in forever. She loved it.
We have had a TON of rain/snow/slush. I think we have actually made our way back from our drought summer!
We are all loving the homeschooling over here. This guy has to join in on the fun!
Ken brought this book home for me. He thinks I would be good at it. Ha. I started reading it. They literally move buckets of gravel as an obstacle. Maybe I would be good at it!
Last Friday night, we got dressed up and went to dinner at Mambo’s because: a) happy hour and b) Peach pizza is still happening!
We headed to a birthday party afterwards and stayed until about 9:15. Brooke had a great time once the middle school aged kids got there. She plays up in age groups! hahaha.
She took my phone to capture some important aspects of the party.
Good one, Brooke.
We got home around 10 and I finished packing. My alarm went of at 3:50 am. Ouch. Luckily, it was an easy drive and I got to my class about 20 minutes early (started at 8 am). I even got to FaceTime Brooke when she got up!
At lunch, I was able to sneak out on my old training paths…unfortunately, they have paved them since we moved 😦 It was still gorgeous and woke me up for the rest of the day 😉 And, let’s be honest, I had not ridden my bike outside in a LONG time.
Since I skipped the time at lunch to grab food (I forgot my lunch since I left the house at 4 am ), I grabbed a bag of chips from the hotel. Luckily I had grabbed a recovery protein shake and Honey Stinger bar from home!
Finished class, met up with E and C for dinner, hit Trader Joe’s and made it to some of our friend’s house to spend the night.
Sunday morning saw several inches of snow on the ground and some super chilly temps. Made it to class and the instructor was nice enough to let me head home early and finish the remaining 3 hours online!
The drive was a bit nuts and I watched several semi-trucks and cars slide off of I-70.
But by the time I made it out towards my house….dry!
And even some sun!
I was pretty happy to see the fam!
Yesterday was filled with a media meeting, some errands, school work, grading, media-ing (totally a word) and a 4 mile run (oh and an hour on the trainer pre-dawn).
Today we did school, I finished my online hours from my class, started taking down outside furniture and prepping for winter. Got in a relaxed 5 mile run and even a little stretching). Did half of my lab grading. Whew. Time for bed!
