Winter Storm Warning

So, Amanda arrived in Denver on Wednesday, April 15th at 5:39 p.m., it was a beautiful 71 degrees, sunny and blue skies... after we got out of the airport I turned to Amanda and said "so, there is a winter storm watch..."

I had to work on Thursday and the weather was pretty nice, until the end of the day when it started raining (it ever rained in Colorado!)... it hailed a little.

Today, Friday, April 17th, I took the day off to spend time with Amanda... now, Winter Storm Warning in effect. We had originally planned to hike, visit Garden of the Gods, and of course make a trip to the Flagship REI. During the morning we attempted going to REI and the weather was really stormy so we decided to go stock up on food and go home for some quality P&P time. We later realized that the snow was more like rain now, so we succesfully went to REI. Once we returned home, we decided to wander campus and see the sites. We decided to take pictures of the snow.

Rockies vs. Phillies

I love baseball season...
I also love that my friend has season tickets in a great section... and that my new camera is amazing and allowed me to take incredible pictures... such as this:

More pictures on picasa and facebook... there are different pictures on each site. Enjoy!

Observing Passover...

IS HARD!
When you're eating in a dining hall...

So Jenny helped me create an "acceptable food list"..

Not allowed:
Bagels, Peanut butter, pasta, bread, cookies, jello, rice

Allowed:
All meat (except pork and shellfish & breaded meat), Fruit- fruit in syrup is ok - Naked juices, Potatoes, Carrots, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, lettuces, quac/avocados, whip cream... so basically all veggies...

Today in the dining hall we had:
Grilled Chicken Gyro in a Pita, Pasta, Cheeseburgers, Turkey potpie (which means covered in bread product), Some sandwich supplies...

So I texted Jenny and she said I could eat fries... :)

Birthday Party!

We went out to a dueling piano bar called Sing Sing last night for my birthday party. The piano players played me a dirty birthday song while I sat up on stage with them. Our fabulous waiter kept calling me "quart cench." We drank way too much and I'm pretty such everyone had a fantastic time!

Plus- I got a birthday crown!


I'll upload photos to facebook or picasa after I collect pictures from other people's cameras.

Meet Jameson Rex

My wonderful, newest nephew!! March 28th, 4:01 p.m. (est), 4 lb 11 oz. Yay!!!

His older brother will always be my favorite, but he's pretty cute for being #2
While he was in utero we were calling him T-Rex before his mom and dad picked a baby name. So they decided to keep the Rex after deciding on Jameson. So now we can attempt nicknaming him J-Rex and hopefully his mom and dad won't get mad! :)

Snow day--- Update

Blizzard update.... 1:07 p.m.

SNOW DAY!!!

This morning I woke up to a phone call from DU Alerts at 6:08 a.m. to inform me the University of Denver was closed due to "expected heavy snowfall." I looked out my window to see maybe a dusting on the ground... then I took this photo from my cell phone at 8:18 a.m.:

Clearly the University knows what they are doing... snow started falling around 8 a.m. (before the first picture). As of 9:45 a.m. outside my window looked like this:

So looks like we might get 8 to 12 inches after all.... I'll update more photos this afternoon!
