Over The Hill

Age is relative. Have you heard that? Most were shocked to hear that Scot Humrich was turning 50 this weekend. Scot, my father in law, hides his age well. Or rather, ignores it well.  He snowboards, wakeboards, camps, and travels around the world. (Jamaica, Australia, and recently Greece) I hope Mr. H and I have as much fun as this guys does in 25 years.

I had the great opportunity to plan a dinner party for my father in law this weekend. I had a blast planning out all and hope to have more dinner parties in the future.  I decided on a vintage theme just so I could use the glass coke bottles I have been collecting.

Here are a few pictures from the weekend. We had a great turn out. I would like to thank all those who helped me out. I couldn't have done it without all of your helping hands.

Here's a picture of Aunt Wendy.

We set up a pasta bar for dinner with three different types of pastas and two types of sauces. 

We also had chicken skewers and these guys helped out with the grill.

The geezer still has lots of wind left in him because he got all 50 (I mean 48 since candles come in packs of 24) out in the first breath.  

 We had the guests bring "50 things" for the 50 year old. There were some great gifts there including a "prune bush" with 50 prunes.

I believe that despite the fight we had with him to have the party he still had a blast. This guy is quite the social bug.

What kind of party should I host next?

Wakeboarding!

I'm getting better! There are a lot of things left on my list of things to do while I am 23. This one isn't one of them.

Get up on a wakeboard!

It doesn't last long but I am up!

And of course Mr. H has been doing this for years!

1 Down...Many More to Go!

Mr. H and I have been married a year! The past year has gone by fast but we have put Mr. H through two semesters, attended many BYU sporting events, vacationed in Lake Powell, Nevada, and Texas, worked hard to make and achieve personal and family goals, made a move to CO and now we both have jobs here!

Our anniversary was on Sunday but we celebrated on Friday. We went to the Cheesecake factory and walked through the 16th Street Mall in downtown Denver. The Cheesecake factory was of course yummy and we even got to sit outside so Mr. H could do his people watching. We stayed the night there thanks to some free rewards points and then came back home in time for me to realize I left my camera in the hotel and had to turn around to go get it.

Then on Sunday we brought out the cake topper. Everyone had their doubts on if it would be any good, except for me of course. My parents cake was made by the same lady who made ours and theirs was just as good as the day of the reception.  This topper made it from the Texas reception to Denver then on the road to Grand Junction and Provo where it stayed in our freezer until the move. The move took it to Murry, UT and back here to Denver. It was still so moist and not freezer burned at all. And it was so big we're still eating on it!

Mr. H had also picked out a very sweet card to give me on Sunday.  Which he did after we walked for the cure at Washington Park with his mom and sister.

First Week in CO

We were able to unload the entire apartment when we got into Arvada on Sunday thanks to family and friends.  This week has been interesting with finding things we need, putting away things we don't, and trying to find out what some thing even are. I fill my days with Zumba and job hunting while Mr. H fills his days with the new job.  I also got to decorate his office!

The plan is to find me a job and then we will need to find a home or apartment. Yay!

We're Moving!

So most of our followers already know we're making a move to Colorado.  I wanted to make the announcement as soon as we found out but we had to make sure we had all of our shoes tied. We move next Saturday! Wow, that feels good to get out.

It's starting to sink in:

1 more week of work
1 more week of packing/cleaning...yuck
1 more week of Utah friends
1 more week...
