Danny insisted that I include this picture to set the scene.
I am so grateful for random strangers who are willing to take pictures.
Love's Labor's Lost: well, not for us.  Yesterday we were more than happy to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary!  Oh, no!  Not another one of these blog entries!  Why do we all get married in the summer -- it's hot outside!  Anyway, the weather in Boulder was beautiful... once it was done raining... but the show did go on!  My terrific parents babysat precious Kaelah so Dan and I could attend the Colorado Shakespeare Festival to celebrate.  CU really has a nice set-up going on!  We had a lovely picnic on the grass before the show (pre-ordered) and enjoyed one of the Bard's romantic comedies set in pre-WWI New England.  There is just something about live theater, especially in the great outdoors.  Oh, and I must mention these pictures were taken with Dan's anniversary present -- the iPhone he's been waiting so patiently for!!!  I cannot say enough about my wonderful husband... so I won't.  In a nut shell, he's simply perfect for me.  I still don't know how I got so lucky.

Wow, five years. I guess we will celebrate three in September. I can't believe that. And your blog wasn't too mushy or anything. And hooray for you to have a wonderful husband. I'm glad I'm not the only one, that there are quite a few good guys out there. Congrats.

Homecoming 2025

By Sarah
The tail end of summer has been so much fun.  The weather has been fantastic and we've all had special occasions to look forward to.  First up, a family party for Natalie's softball team that included pizza, whiffle ball, and seeing the girls just have a good time together as a team. Here's my favorite photo from when Michelle helped her friend, A, celebrate her 16th birthday.  Although she has been friends with A & Z since her time at the Waldorf school, Michelle ended up hanging out with a lot of strangers and had a wonderful time.  I love seeing her branch out and make new connections while maintaining her core friend group. Homecoming week included a BBQ, Powder Puff game and drone show, parade past the middle school where I was volunteering at the Rattler Run, plus a very exciting football game that even Hubby attended by being one of the basketball parents to man the concession stand. Danny did a great job tossing candy instead of throwing it and the basket...

45

By Sarah
I feel spoiled. My parents and our whole family around a dinner table was perfection. Hubby provided roses & a grilled steak, roasted potatoes, and fresh salad dinner complete with chocolate cake (decorated by Michelle).  My mom and dad bought me sweet and thoughtful gifts (including a mug Natalie had painted when my mom took her to Crackpots this summer) and even stayed to watch K Pop Demon Hunters in the basement. We thought it would be hilarious to watch them watch something so different from their favorite shows. They did not disappoint. It was a joyful evening that made me feel much better about turning 45 than I felt earlier in the day.  Below you’ll find what I had written before we celebrated.  Photo credit goes to Kate! 10 Years Ago I filled out interview questions for my 35th birthday and 5 years ago I did the same, adding 5 more questions.  I really don't think I should add 5 more every year because this is probably already too much information for an...

Adventures Begin

By Sarah
Michelle had been saving her money for years. She didn’t know exactly what for, but it turns out she used that money to travel with a group from her high school to Asia!  When people asked me at the end of the school year what I was excited for this summer, the first thing I would think of is Michelle’s trip to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam!  We loved getting texts and photos almost everyday and were able to FaceTime her a couple times.  She had quite the range of experiences from museums and treasures such as Angkor War to cooking classes and time on the water to learning how to fold flowers for offerings at famous Buddhas, and even hanging out with rats that sniff out landmines to be properly disposed of.  We are absolutely thrilled for her! While Michelle was in Asia, Hubby and Kate worked and Kate hung out with friends doing things like paddle boarding (it is great to hear her work stories!), Natalie and I watched the Women’s College World Series when we weren’...
