Before moving to Colorado, I decided this would be a good time for me to earn my 200 hour RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher). I have been attending Yoga Sansar with my instructor, Chuna Rai-Nelson, every Saturday and some weeknights since August and will complete my training November 6th!
Looks Delicious!
The "trophy" in its new home:
I plan to keep it for a while and then either donate it to Cafe Rio (in exchange for a burrito) or the lady in our ward who said she wanted it...?
After 26 miles, all form is lost...
This picture was taken from Mindy's camera. I didn't know she was there. You can see the pain on my face.
Finished with a time of 3:39:13. I am satisfied.
The picture above is a real smile. No more marathons for a LONG time.
We fit a lot into the weekend. Besides the marathon, we saw some petroglyphs in the desert
and celebrated Halloween with the kids!
I did some carving myself.
Can you guess which is mine? (answer at bottom)
Henry and Hailey were born two days apart (April 29 and May 1). This weekend was their first time meeting. They are adorable!
Grandma had fun too!
Answer:
Yay for a fun weekend!
Lauren and Andrew Sutton: We miss you guys!
Andrew really wanted to go to a Yankees game (mostly to see the new stadium) and it just happened that the only day we could go, the Yankees were playing the Mets: Bad idea. Our tickets ended up costing way more than they should have and the fans were crazy!
Fun times taking the Subway!
Fun times made even funner with these guys on our car! They stepped on all quiet and shy and all of the sudden started playing a loud song. One kid on the car was plugging his ears and complaining to his mom. When they finished, they walked around for tips and continued on to the next car. It was so random.
After the game we went to the south (?) side of Manhattan and made a stop at a very important store. It wasn't until later that I found out you can get their peanut butter for about half the price in several grocery stores in the US. Lauren LOVES peanut butter.
We also took a stroll through Washington Square. This is the park everyone is playing music on in August Rush. It is seriously crazy. There were all types of performers.
Most impressively, this man who drew pictures with colored sand. The pictures were amazing, but will blow away at the first gust of wind.
We miss being close to so many fun things in VA, but we're doing well in Colorado. There's not as much time for exploring and trips right now, but we're having fun!
Our bedroom (we have a beautiful fan and stand due to our no a/c, but we haven't even turned it on this past week)
The kitchen. The front door is to the left of the picture and the fridge is behind the left wall. Our front window is also behind the wall which is kind of weird, but it works. I LOVE that there is an open counter above the sink. Other units have a wall there.
The other side of the first floor. The kitchen opens into the dining area. The door here is actually our back door and our stairs are just to the right of the picture.
The upstairs hallway taken from inside our spare bedroom. At least you can see the stairs.
Our lovely back porch.
And our backyard. We really got the bottom of the barrel for backyards. Behind the fence is a big road (though not terribly big, relatively) and most of the other yards have grass. We're just happy to have a yard though.
This ends our tour. Thank you for joining us.
Tim and I drove up to Rocky Mountain National Park for a day before he started school. It's only about 40 miles north of us. It was pretty amazing.
Our 9 mile hike took us up above the tree line to this lake by glaciers.
Beautiful scenery everywhere
We even saw some wildlife!
One more thing to bribe you to come visit.
