For the past couple weeks I’ve had to get kind of creative to get my protein in my diet. Not because I’m on some weird celebrity diet or because I’ve had my jaw wired shut, I’m just sick of eating chicken and pork.Chicken and pork have some great qualities, about them:They are nearly fool proof. Seriously. I can’t count the times I’ve cooked the two and I have yet to screw up so badly we can’t

What I’m thankful for:10. Facebook. How else would I get to keep up on all of my gossip?9. Christmas, and not because I get really cool things (even though I love all my presents mommy). Its because finals are over and the semester is done!8. I don’t have to deal with the people that comment on those Yahoo! articles on a daily bases.

Who in the hell designs bathrooms because that person and I need to have a talk. You go to a hockey game, football game, basketball game and where are the lines really bad? The concessions and the women’s bathrooms. I’ve said it once and I will say it a million times: women’s bathrooms need to be AT LEAST twice as large as men’s bathrooms. I’ve lost all the guys at this point because they’ve

I was watching this show called My Generation and some of it hit me like a brick wall. If you haven’t seen it, go download it on iTunes. The pilot is free and then the second episode is on hulu. I’ve only watched the first episode so far but it’s made me look at my whole life and my decisions the past 18 years. When I look back I can remember things that make me laugh and I look at younger kids

I had a problem in high school that I think many of us had: caring too much about what other people thought. This problem followed me for a long time until several things came together to show me the beauty of individuality. One of these was a quote.“Be a first rate version of yourself, not a second rate version of someone else.”- Judy GarlandIn the spirit of this paradigm shift (that I relive on

We had a single reason to not like Boulder before the Rocky Mountain Showdown: We go to CSU, and they are Boulder. Simple as that. You are conditioned to not like the city, the people, or the school. Anyone who goes there is a dirty hippie who smokes weed any chance they get. The town is dirty and smells. CU is subpar in a lot of ways to CSU. Hell, Boulder is subpar in a lot of ways to Fort

We did a Mother’s Day blog but ran right through Father’s Day. I was in Missouri for Father’s Day but no worries – I remembered a gift.I was watching a Rockies game and they were talking about how baseball is still the American pastime and I can’t say that I disagree. In fact, I might completely agree. They said something about looking back and remembering baseball games with Dad, and I have a

I went to Las Vegas for a couple days with Brandon and his family, I moved into Caitlin and my apartment, I helped move Brandon into his dorm, I started classes and I got a job!!! I guess the place to start is Las Vegas.Las Vegas was really cool. I’ve never seen so

On Friday July 2nd, around midnight, Heather and I were dancing on the main floor of The Church when someone walked up and began talking to us. More like yelling at us I suppose, because neither of us could hear him, but he was trying. Heather and I looked at each other, giggling uncontrollably. We could hear the words “beautiful….dancing alone…” in between the pounding bass filling the room. He

So… I realize that this blog is way overdue. It looks like I’m going to be squishing blog 4 and 5 into one. Along with a bunch of other stuff that’s going on!On the next day of our girl vacation, I awoke and had a tasty oatmeal and bacon breakfast with my girls. We had some touching conversation about Granddaddy, and then dispersed throughout the house to get ready for the day.At that point, one

Old Faithful!For the past week I’ve been in Yellowstone National Park. Unfortunately, we leave tomorrow. This is the 2nd year I’ve come and the 4th year that my family has. Last year was super neat because it was a first time experience. This year, there wasn’t so much shock and awe and Brandon and I were able to navigate through the park without having to stop at every turnout. We saw EVERY

We got up early this morning and made a run to our new favorite coffee place, which is much better than Starbucks (blasphemy, I know!!). We picked up my Aunt Amy from the airport. She and Amanda are twins. The dynamic that these two women create with my mother is hilarious. I have never giggled so much in my life…We went off to breakfast at the Naked Café again, and presented Amy with the present

Carlsbad is beautiful. I couldn’t tell much driving here last night since it was around 11pm. I could however see the palm trees. I had no idea they could grow to be so tall! I fell asleep on the drive here, waking for a moment to listen to my mother and aunt giggling in the front seat. When we arrived at my Aunt Amanda’s house, I had a huge stomach ache: probably from the awkward combination of

You never know how many baseball fields are strewn across the face of Colorado until you fly west out of Denver after dark. The eye is drawn to them like a mole among street light freckles and winding lines of headlights like wrinkles. My mother is sleeping next to me.

I went to the premier of Twilight Eclipse. Maybe it was the blogger inside saying “HEY! You’ll have a lot of annoying things to write about if you go”, or maybe I just really wanted to see it before my little sister. If it was my inner blogger, she was right. I have never been around a more annoying group of parents and kids. So I have now decided to make a list of 10 things you should not do at

At the Science Center. How much it would cost to send both of us to the moon.The last 4 days of our trip went so fast. We went to the Science Center and watched a really cool video on the huble space telescope. My favorite brother-in-law and my sister (I can’t pick favorites because I have 2 other sisters that would kill me) took Brandon and I around and showed us some really pretty houses down

Today is Brandon and my 2-year anniversary. Though he is younger than me, it doesn’t phase us one bit. Like any relationship, we have our ups and we have our downs; we have our laughs and our fights; and we have our smiles and our tears. The first year was smooth sailing compared to this second one, but they both have been amazing and … slightly educational. We have learned a lot about each other

From the 11th to the 14th of this month, I was in Tennessee’s Smokey Mountains with all but one of my mother’s side of the family. We were a little nervous organizing this get together for fear of family drama, but all 30something of us were pleasantly surprised. I have never been in a situation in which I was surrounded by so many people that I actually LIKED! Though I hadn’t seen most of these

We checked out of our hotel and we were about ready to leave when I got a call from the hotel saying that the maid had found something in our room. Something plaid. Now, I don’t own anything plaid so I already knew it was Brandon’s. We drove all the

AAAAAAAAAND we made it! The drive took us about 13 hours and it felt like 13 hours. It was long but a lot of fun. We got to Branson about 8 p.m. and promptly passed out. This morning we woke up to a terrible ring from my cell phone, stumbled to breakfast and discovered we could have ate better in our car, which only has poptarts. So, the breakfast sucked. However, the room is nice and it’s right

Earlier in the year, Caitlin and I made the hour drive to Boulder, CO to counter protest Westboro Baptist Church. If you haven’t heard of these people, time to crawl out of your cave and Google them. They are against everyone but themselves. Brandon is the love of my life – he is also Catholic. Caitlin is one of my closest friends, and by previous blogs you can probably guess she’s a Christian.

Okay, so I’m blogging my way through this leadership training thing I’m doing at my church. I’m going with my mom. We were expecting there to be just a few other people, but there were over 100. It was pretty exciting. I was also worried that it might be a little dry and boring, but it was incredibly inspiring. I am so happy we’re going. It’s every Wed. night at Pathways church in Denver.

I was sitting at work thinking about the fact that I most definitely gained the freshman fifteen (lbs) over the course of the last year. All of the sudden, out of the depths of an Allure magazine, sprung the answer to my problems! Now, I’m a busy girl, especially as of late. I don’t have time to eat like a health nut and work out every day, so the following advice, courtesy of Brooke Le Poer

I cooked dinner for Brandon last night and it went about as well as anyone could expect from me. I’m not a cook. I can microwave things, put things in a toaster, pour things out of a bag and heat them up, and order off a menu. I tried to make chocolate milk one time and put the powder in water.

So I was out with my mom looking at stuff for the apartment Caitlin and I will be living in next year and I realized I know absolutely nothing about pots. We went down the cooking aisle and there were shiny pots, pretty pots, ugly pots, heavy pots, and black pots. Someone want to decipher the boxes for me? I have no idea what they are talking about. For example, I found some that I liked because

My first few days back home reminded me how relaxing college was. My 3 dogs dug out and a car hit one. He will live! He’s in a cast for 6-8 weeks because of a dislocated paw. One went MIA for a day but the pound picked him up and he spent a night in jail. The last one, one of our fantastic neighbors caught. We have all of them home now, thank God.

I am now 19!!!! Yay! I’m almost sure it’s one of the least exciting birthdays because nothing is new. No new privileges, no new category that I fit into, nothing. That’s ok though because I’m one year older and it signifies that I did in fact survive my first year of college. I have had a lot of people in my life the past 19 years. There are people who have made me laugh, made me cry, helped make

We are about ready to enter finals week and I can’t believe how fast it has all gone. I didn’t think I had done a whole lot this year but when I look back I realize how many new experiences I have had. Caitlin, my roommate and fellow blogger, has been awesome. I talked about before how easy it has been to live with her. We have a lot of the same thoughts and I can talk to her about anything.

Caitlin and I haven’t really decided how often we’ll be updating this site but considering that we’re fantastic procrastinators it will probably be often. We also have a lot to talk about all the time. If you woke us up at 3 am (if Caitlin is even asleep by that time) we could find 5 topics to talk about. It may not be very coherent, but we’ll talk. We have cool things happen every day because we

So, I saw a girl on the stairs today with legs so white, I almost couldn't believe my eyes. When I realized that she was a redhead, I began to think about most of the other redheads I knew throughout high school. Just about all of them were extremely pale. I began to wonder why...Courtesy of Wikipedia: Alleles that code for red hair occur close to the alleles that affect skin color, so it seems

Things we've learned from our moms: 1. They brought you into this world and they can take you out.2. Cross your legs when you are sitting on stage in a skirt.3. Just because it’s your room doesn’t mean it can look like a pigsty, a tornado went through, a bomb went off, or anything else that might cause a room to look like a natural disaster hit it.4. Check your clothing labels before

For all of you who have graduated and are no longer in school, this will be a blast from memory hell: FINALS. Yeah, finals are almost here. Just so we’re clear as to how much I HATE these tests, as I was trying to type “finals”, I typed “funerals”. To me finals are there to remind you how much you really weren’t paying attention when you wrote those 3 pages of notes every class. They are

So my brother’s birthday is tomorrow! He will be 22. He’s pretty much my favorite person ever, so I thought I’d honor this day with some childhood memories. Here goes. When Jared, Mom, and I lived in our apartment by the YMCA, Mom would set up a jewelry shop for me made of felt and cardboard. She had a huge collection of costume jewelry from her mother, as well as my own gaudy

Katie: I grew up in Colorado my whole life. I have 3 sisters, one younger and two older (twins). My parents are from Missouri, they say things like “warsh”, and moved here before I was born. I have played volleyball since I was 9 and it’s a huge part of my life. I stopped playing after my 17’s year and started coaching. I have coached 12 and under for two years now. It’s not so much
