A little bit of everything from Colorado

This post is very delayed - sorry! It includes a ton of pictures from our trip to Colorado at the end of December. We had a great time and did a ton. The pictures are from my first bridal shower (thanks mom, Sara, Kari, and Kristen!), opening gifts with my grandpa and grandma for the first time in 16 years, New Years Eve at Josh and Kari's place, and a few from our day trip to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. The one with the elk - this was the largest herd any of us had ever seen and they were so close to the street. It was pretty cool to see!

Aunt Erinn and Uncle Dustin!!!!!!!

That is right…Dustin and I are going to be an aunt and uncle as of August 2009! My brother and sister-in-law, Josh and Kari are expecting their first child this summer. I am so excited and can’t wait to SPOIL that child. S/He (or should I say “they” because there is a slight possibility it could be twins!) is going to be the cutest darn thing ever. Fortunately, Kari had her very first doctor appointment the day before we flew back to Portland, so I got to be one of the lucky ones and go with her – there were 6 of us, plus her doctor, all in one little patient room. Thanks for letting us come with Kari. These are pictures of the proud parents to be!

Christmas 2008

For those of you who actually check our blog, I apologize for being so delayed in posting. It seems my time and energy is elsewhere at the moment…planning a wedding takes a lot of time! =) At any rate, we had a fabulous Christmas this year and below are just a few of the pictures to prove it. Despite the snowing weather, we were still able to spend a few days in Junction City with Dustin’s family, including Christmas Eve and Christmas Day this year and had a great time. We then flew out to visit my family for a week in Colorado and got a lot done in that short amount of time…my grandparents from Chicago and Uncle from Georgia were in town for the first few days of our trip, I had a bridal shower (thanks mom, Sara, Kari, and Kristen!) while the boys had a fun afternoon of bowling, Dustin hit the slopes with Josh and his father-in-law, Dave, we had a couples engagement party and got lots of FUN gifts (thanks Linda!), did lots of wedding planning, watched a number of movies, spent the day in Estes Park at Rocky Mountain National Park, celebrated the New Year…and then came home!
