Howdy!

Yesterday was a great first day of 2012! I started it off with a nice run and brunch with Eric, Meredith and Greg at Cafe Brazil.

This was my first time eating here, and let me tell you, I will be a frequent flyer from now on. The best part was the bottomless coffee bar with way too many coffee choices! I was in coffee lovers Heaven!



I ordered the vegetarian omelet with fruit and Eric ordered the crepes with a side of bacon and eggs. Mine was filled with spinach, mushrooms, onions, and tomatoes! MMMMMMM Good!



After breakfast, I ran some errands and then hung out around the house reflecting on everything that happened in 2011. It was an amazing and busy year. Here are a few of my favorite events in 2011!

We went to the Cotton Bowl to watch the Aggies play LSU.



I went to my first pro soccer game.


I ran a couple of half marathons.



E and I competed in the Warrior Dash!



We went to the NCAA Men's Final Four Basketball games.


We bought a house!!



We got a puppy who I adore!



We went to Colorado, and I fell in love with the state.


I continued to run regularly and loved every second of it!


That's just a quick glimpse back and some of the amazing things I was blessed with in 2011. I am excited to see what 2012 has in store for my little family and for all of you! Happy New Year!

P.S. I finally updated my recipe page, so check it out if you are in need of some new healthy recipes!

Howdy Everyone!

How are you today? Are you having a good week?

First of all, I have to give a big Happy Birthday shout out to my wonder little sister Brooke who turns 16 today! She is one of the most caring, fun and beautiful girls I know. Happy Birthday Brookey!

I shared with you some of the Colorado pictures last week, but there are so many beautiful ones, I just couldn't stop there.

We went to Colorado for Eric's cousins wedding and stayed a few extra days to turn it into a vacation. This was our first real vacation since we got married, so I was beyond excited. This was also my first time to visit Colorado, and let me tell you, I am completely hooked. Everywhere you looked was beautiful. I took too many pictures to count!

The first day we were there, E and his dad went golfing. The course was absolutely gorgeous!

We did A LOT of hiking while we were there. The weather was so beautiful, you wanted to be outside at all times. Here are some of the pictures I snapped while we were hiking.


The wedding itself was definitely the most beautiful part of the church. Nick and Jelisa are such amazing people and I am so excited for them to start their amazing life together.


We also did a lot of sight seeing in the car, which means a lot of through the glass pictures!


We also visited lots of cute little villages!



We spent our last day in Colorado exploring the big city of Denver which of course involved shopping and visiting the Broco's Stadium and eating at John Elway's restaurant!


Overall, the trip was absolutely amazing. It was such a great break from work, school (even though I did do homework and answer work e-mails while I was there), and stress. Something about Colorado just makes you feel like you shouldn't stress!

Have you ever been to Colorado?

What did you love most?

Hello from Colorado!!

How have you all been? I apologize for my brief absence, but I've been busy soaking up every last beautiful bit of Colorado while I can. This place is truly amazing!! Every time I open my eyes, my breathe is taken away. I'll have a full recap when we get home, but I wanted to share a little eye candy with you. Enjoy! :)

Isn't it beautiful? The pictures really don't do it justice! I hope you all have a wonderful day!
