Circus
Whew.... ! ready for a break?
OK, so this month has turned out to be pretty busy so far... which isn't bad/ but is very tiring lol. pretty much every night for the past couple weeks I have been finding myself falling in bed and just crashing where I fall.. no getting comfortable first involved lol. Here is what we have been up to... I'm not sure how im going to separate posts and what not yet so it might be a little messy :P
Thursday - June 9th- flew back to Colorado :) YAY
Friday - June 10th - driving around running errands taking care of stuff like rental car and going up to Idaho Springs to get settled in
Saturday- June 11th- Was going to be a day to relax but we found ourselves first driving all the way down to Highlands Ranch to see a movie, then driving to Parker for Parker days.. I'm sorry i didn't get any pictures from that, then from there we went to hang out with Stevens friends at the Littleton Block Party and the driving all the way back up to the mountains. by the time we got "home" we were both super tired.
Sunday- June 12th- We drove back down to visit with my Aunt Nancy for a bit, we got to see my uncle too but he was pretty busy because he just got back from a hiking trip. Then we drove out to Elizabeth to visit my parents and chatted a while, and from there we drove back to Parker to meet up with Mikel and Caitlin, where we drove down to Colorado Springs for the circus.
Monday- June 13th - Ok so Monday we decided that was going to be our lazy day and just sleep and relax all day, but instead we ended up still driving down to go see a movie or something like that and then grocery shopping and ended our day relaxing... a little... lol
Tuesday - June 14th - RELAX? think again..! lol Steven and I felt like we were being too idle...? so we spent most of the day doing chores around the house and cleaning out the garage and re organizing it and everything. Hope you don't mind Kirk :)
Wednesday- June 15th - we spent that morning still cleaning, I cleaned the upstaires living room, dusting vacuuming and such, it took a while.. and Steven was outside messing in the garage some more and ended up cutting down a tree that was in the way outside lol. Steven was going to go to a firefighters meeting with Kirk that evening but instead we ended up driving down to Highlands Ranch because Red Robin was calling my name for dinner :P
Thurday- June 16th - we woke up kinda early and met up with a church friend in the Cherry Creek area, then we drove up to Castle Rock to pay a bill we almost forgot about oops :P. then we drove down to Littleton to pick up Mama Jo and from there we went to lunch and then the Army Surplus store and JoAnn's to get some crafty stuff and then back up to Idaho Springs where Mama Jo and Steven and I spent the rest of the evening playing with a sewing machine and helping me figure out how to make a camo diaper bag :) untill Kirk met us up there, we had dinner at the house and then they left and Steven and I went to bed lol.
FRIDAY! - June 17th - we started Friday with no plans, so we went down yet again to see another movie in Highlands Ranch, after that was over we were invited to my friend Amanda and Brad's rehersal dinner, so we ended up driving back up to the Elizabeth area for that, had some awesome food and visited. and still didn't get home till about 9ish.
Saturday - June 18th Wedding day! We made plans to go see Mr Poppers penguins with Mikel on Sat morning but the movie was late so we ended up having to leave about 10 min before it was over, so we rushed to a gas station to change clothes and drove up to Amanda and Brad's wedding, it was absolutely beautifull! we had accidentaly over booked our Saturday, and had to leave the reception early SORRY AMANDA! from the wedding we once again met Mikel and Caitlin in Parker and drove up to the Colorado National Speedway to watch the races, some more of Stevens old friends from AMC met us up there and we had a bunch of fun. That night we didn't get back home untill about 12
Sunday - June 19th - Happy Fathers Day! On Sunday Steven and I drove down to Elizabeth because a good friend of our family was ordained as a priest Sat and Sunday was his first mass! so we went to Mass at noon. then a church BBQ to celebrate afterward, we left the BBQ a little early and went back to my parents house to visit with my dad and mom and Michael and Sabrina and the kids stopped by for a little bit too. we actually got back home early on sunday about 8 pm which gave us a little while to relax before bed :)
Monday - June 20th - we got up early to meet with another friend/acquaintance in Castle Rock, then went to enterprise because we had forgotten the garage door opener in the rental car we returned on Friday, (were just borrowing family cars now) Then to the Sprint store because my phone quit working right. and then over to Aprils, where we spent pretty much the whole day visiting and April and Mama Jo helped me almost finish my diaper bag! all i have left is the straps and to put on the front pocket flaps :) then we went to pick up my phone, they had to just replace it because they couldn't fix it, and to the mall with Mikel and Caitlin and David to get a new phone case because spring broke mine grrr... then we all went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner :) it was yummy, and kinda funny to watch David try to eat some of the more spicy wings :P. (that was last night) I barely got my pj's on before i feel asleep when we got home last night.
Tuesday - June 21st - well its still a little early in the morning and we don't have a whole lot planned but Steven is already outside messing with something, and I have to go get ready because I have a doctors appointment this morning, JOY.... NOT, I get to meet yet again another doctor, just to get a referral to go to an OB/GYN in town since im due to have a baby soon, if you didn't forget :P . Our insurance transferred my Primary Care Manager to a family practice out here in Idaho springs, but they are just general practitioners or whatever so I still have to meet with them today and do the first doc appointment thing, so i can get a referral to go somewhere else where they can actually help me baby wise, lame!
Who knows whats in store for the rest of the week hopefully it will be a little more easy going, but i think Mikel already wants to see if we can go to the lake this afternoon if the weather is nice.. lol.

will it look this good? (part 3 of the yarn box saga)
So I found this pattern thats supposed to look this nice without being super complicated, Seeing as I am working with what I have in effort to size down my yarn stash not buy more, mine wont be near as big and I changed up the pattern a bit to how I want to knit it. but the question is... will it look this good? I guess we will see when its done.
I'm adding the very simple pattern with the pic in case any of you fellow knitters want to try it out yourself :p

Cromwell Court Afghan
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®GAUGE:10 sts and 13 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm) in pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.NOTES: Circular needle is used to accommodate large number of sts. Work back and forth on circular needle as if working on straight needles. | |||||||||
