August Birthday Weekend with the Fam...highlights

We traveld to, "The Good Life"...aka Nebraska :) At least thats what the signs say!

We got to play with our adorable neice and nephews...do a little belly rubbing (and sending female vibes) for our newest who will be here in FEB!

Isn't my family cute?

Easton :)

He is home, he is better and he is beautiful :)

Thank you so much for your prayers!

Easton James

Easton is not in the picture...but his Mommy, brother and sister are :) I don't have a picture of him yet because he was just born yesterday.

His mom, Jana, lives in Iowa where my sister does and she was the biggest source of encouragement to me while Kel was sick. I don't know how I could have gotten through those 5 months with out her faith and friendship.

She had a beautiful baby boy yesterday and named him Easton James McGraw :) Today he was put in Intensive Care. It is all very new and they know very little details, but I am asking you to pray for him, his mommy and their family.

I am not sure who (other than my mom:) reads this...but if you do, please keep Easton and Jana in your prayers.

Thanks.

Estes Park

We went camping and hiking over the weekend and it was so beautiful. No matter how many times I go into the moutnains the wonder of it never fades.

Here are a few of our pictures. I will show you guys the rest next weekend :)

Just the three of us :)

Here is a glimpse of what I do about 50 hours a week. We sing ABC's, dance to the Beach Boys, talk about theology, kick our feet, go for walks, lay around and make animal noises...I never know when they will think what I am doing is funny! But here is Daniel getting a kick out of "What does a duckie say?"

Girls Night/ Boys Night

This weekend I planned a girls night at a cute little wine bar called The Village Cork. I pretty much invited every girl I know, with the thought that maybe 5-7 would show. WELL...like 13 came and it was so much fun! I had my friends from CCU and my new friends from church, and everyone hit it off and we laughed and talked and had wine and "wine food" :)



Meanwhile...Drew and his friend Luke were watching the Bronco's game in the Oakwood Homes suite :) I don't have any pictures of that because, well, I wasn't there :)



But here is a picture of the girls...














Church was great on Sunday as usual...you can listen to messages at: redrockschurch.com
They showed a video of the Mexico trip too, I am not sure if it would be up on the site yet, but it might be.

This coming weekend we are camping in Estes and then we will be heading to Nebraska late on the 28th...

We're GETTING MARRIED :)

Well, we already did...but one of the wonderful women who stood with us just a few months ago is now engaged to her prince charming :) I say WE because thats what she says when anything happens in our group of friends...its always WE. WE are getting married, WE are having a baby... you get the idea.

Drew and I both have been honored to walk life with Dani over the past 4-5 years and she has become one of our very favorite people to laugh, learn, live, and even cry with. Her passion for God and love for life are inspiring and such a blessing.

We wish Dani and Michael (Pooch and Noogz) every good thing, and give them all our love and support!

Here are my two favorite pics from the engagement...

CONGRATS! We love you, Dan!

random snapshots of mexico

'cause we look so good :)

We went out the other night, and took a lot of pictures...here is a photojournal of our night :)

Drew at dinner (looking VERY cute:)

Mr and Mrs

The worst glass of wine EVER...seriously. The waiter said he's going to use it to remove paint :)

Then we went for gelato at Gelazzi in Larimer Sqaure...

This is how happy I felt after my gelato on molten lava cake :)

Us, looking cute again :) (notice the very empty chocolatly plate)

Drew and Gelazzi in the background...I couldn't get enough pictures of this handsome guy ;)

Me and a cool lion, we were pretending that we were tourists :)

We asked one of those bike carriage people take this, after we all watched a horse pee in the street...serioulsy it was like a hose.Then I spotted this hot guy...

Then we went home...I was full, content and sleepy on the lightrail ride home...can you see the little bit of chocolate left on my lips :)

THE END

Transformation !

We have transformed out wedding blog into our life blog :) Mostly for our families to be able to see what we are up to...

Tonight we are going to a Concert in the Park down in Castle Rock (where Drew works). Adrienne (who lives in Castle Rock) called this morning and said that they were going because the guy playing is the husband of one of Noah's nurses, and asked if we wanted to go along.
We decided to go because we have spent the last two nights in our apartment watching movies and playing cards because I have been still catching up on rest from being sick.

Tomorrow morning we are heading up to Estes Park to go hiking and camping...it should be beautiful so I will post some pictures.

Sending love.

It is finished :)

The wedding was perfect. Beautiful day, wonderful people and a very handsome groom :)
I really can't complain about one minute of it. Tony did a great job on the ceremony, we loved it and have gotten many compliments on it as well. I had wonderful women taking care of me and my every need all day, well all weekend for that matter. Jess, my personal attendant rocked everything. The whole day ran smoothly and wonderfully because of her! I could thank a million people...

here is a sneak peak into our professional pictures

Hello everybody ( I don't think anyone even reads this actually :)

We are so close to the big day, I really can't wait for everyone to be out here!!!!

We got some really sad news last night. Drew's best man and best friend since childhood is serving us in the Air Force and will not be able to attend after all. This is a huge disappointment because Nick is very special to Drew and to me and the day won't be the same with out him. But we are proud of him for serving our country.

Other than that, not a lot to report. Just tying up loose ends and getting more excited every day!
