Rock Band 2

I probably should have blogged about the "Engaged & Newlywed Group" that we belong to before now; but what better time than the present???

We meet every Wednesday night and have dinner at someone's house and then we discuss things going on in our lives as well as other marrital topics. In addition to that the boys talk about their Fantasy Football league. The girls have a running joke to see how long it takes for Fantasy Football to come up when we all get together. And it's usually Justin that starts it. :o) Right now we are also going through the book Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires The Respect He desperately Needs.

But this week we played Rock Band 2! Here are some pictures of us "rocking out"!

13.1 Miles!

Well I did it! This past Sunday I ran the Denver Half-Marathon with my friend Megan. We trained together and separate for about 3 1/2 months. During that time I went through almost an entire jar of Tiger Balm, many Function Shock Sport drinks, and a pair of tennis shoes. (Never underestimate the importance of good running shoes when you run 5 times a week!)

The race went really well and I had a really good time...although it is weird to say you had fun running 13 miles, probably sounds more like torture to most people. I got to see parts of Denver I hadn't seen before and there was some really great people watching as well! Afterwards I was really sore, even walking was quite the task. But after some more Tiger Balm an another Shock Sport drink by Monday I was almost back to normal. Only my knees are still a little tender.

Now I am trying to decide what my next challenge will be???

Go Buffaloooooooes!

Last weekend Justin and I met our friends Kourtney and Thad up in Boulder and we went with them to the CU vs. Texas football game. The game started at 5:00, but we got to the field early for some pre-game tailgating! Kourtney made BBQ, potato salad, and baked beans for everyone and of course there was plenty of beer to go around!

We made it into the game in time to see Ralphie the Buffalo make his entrance. Ralphie is CU's mascot and is a real live buffalo that leads the team out and charges around the field. He has about 6 handlers that make sure he doesn't get a wild hair up his butt and decide to charge peple on the sidelines.

Unfortunately CU lost the game, but we still had a great day hanging out with our friends!
