Bipolar Denver Weather

People have asked me how I like living in Denver, and my normal response is "I like it a lot, but the weather is bipolar" And now, I have somewhat of proof! Yesterday started out gorgeous and sunny, and in the 70's. Then in the afternoon it got a little overcast, then sunny and perfect again. Then all of a sudden this happens....

It hails!! Like wicked hard!! This is some that was on and below the steps up to the apartment.
The ground, in the middle of june, during a hail storm. Crazy!!
I liked this, the hail would hit the roof and slide down to the gutter, then bounce off in random directions. This picture catches some random bouncing hail if you look closely.
hen it was beautiful and gorgeous and sunny again! And there is the storm going away from us. I tell you, this weather is bipolar!! And there were like loads of tornado warnings about an hour after this storm passed! Talk about a weather that can't commit to one thing! =>

No Internet is Hard

So, for about the last month we have not had internet in our apartment! It will work for about 10 minutes a week!!!! Just long enough for us to check Jared's email but nothing else! I never realized how much I use the internet on a daily basis and how much I relied on it! That was definately a huge adjustment to try and deal with! And I was doing so good at posting, then the internet drought hit! Well Jared and I are safely in Denver!! Yay!! I had my first day of work today, and Jared has been out for 1/2 days these last two days. We like Denver. When we arrived the weather was gorgeous (we arrived Saturday late afternoon) and it continued like that through Sunday, and Monday (the day Jared was supposed to go out and knock) we woke up to about 4 inches of snow!!! It was crazy!!!! Today the snow all melted and it was gorgeous again. Talk about the weather being confused! => Thats all the update I can give you now, without any pictures. We dont have internet in our apartment here but they do have a "club house buisness center" where they have 2 computers to use, but you cant save the pics from your camera to the comp to put them on the web. Bummer. So I will figure out something, dont you worry. hehehe Have a wonderful day!

Snow Boarding!!!

Ok, so Jared has been wanting to go snowboarding for 10 months now! He took me towards the beginning of our dating career, it was my third time boarding and his first ever!! We went night boarding and Kelly Canyon. Well we went with all his friends who have been doing it practically their whole lives, and he was doing well at keeping up with them, but he didnt know how to stop. => So he busted his knee and couldnt board for the rest of the season. Jared then was using a borrowed board, but he ordered a board that was his size but he never got to use it!! So sad! => So yesterday, we drove home from Jerome, through a blizzard, and made it in time to go night boarding again at Kelly! He was elated!! And he was pretty good! It was snowing pretty hard the whole time, but it was so much fun!! And he got to use my Christmas presents. I got him some goggles and a snowboard bag!! We had so much fun!! We cant wait to go again!!!

(doesnt he look like a tough pro boarder =>)

And the married snowbaorders!!! Oh so cute!!!

Christmas Shopping in the Snow!

So I was a very brave little girl and ventured out into the cold and dreary, snow ridden Rexburg today in search of the perfect present to make my wonderful husband overjoyed on Christmas morning. => And of course, as in anything out of the ordinary I do I documented it! => Not only did I get 2 (what I think are) very good presents for Jared, I also got my parents a present and my sister!! All without crashing and minimal amounts of sliding!! Yay me!!! => And I am almost done with my hristmas shopping!! Wooo!!!
Now where do I put all these presents? Shhhh!! Dont tell Jared what they are!
And this is what I looked like while driving in the snow all day => Its amazing I am still alive!!



Tape Master to the rescue!!! She can tape a present faster than a speeding bullet!! =>

Snow, Snow, Everywhere!

It is finally a winter worth having up here!! I did not like the freezing cold but no snow!! It felt like it was cold for nothing!! lol Well I got my wish!! It started snowing last Wednesday and hasnt stopped since!! And guess what I got to do!?!? Thats right, drive in the snow for the first time!!! And I can tell you... I was scared to death!! I drove Jared to work on last Thurseday morning, when it was still dark!! I was so brave!! I am so grateful Jared was with me the first time, because of course I did everything wrong and slid like crazy, but he was there to calm me down and tell me how to fix it!! Isnt he just a dream?!?!! I love him!!!!
