Kinect Was A Good Investment

So the other night, we were supposed to go "out" with our friends, but decided that we would rather not spend the money and act like fools in our own home #awayfromjudgement.

Obviously, the Kinect seemed like the perfect activity, and we were right!  We grabbed some snacks and refreshments, and it was GAME-ON! 

Of course, the more ridiculous the photos, the better...duh.  I'll try to add the videos, but they aren't playing nice!

My Wedding Ring is A Part Of Me Now...

More than two weeks ago, two baby stones fell out of my ring, and I was devastated!  This had never happened before, so I didn't know what I would have to do to get it repaired, but in comes my husband to the rescue!!  He called the jeweler, and co-designer of the ring, and sent it out that very day to be restored!  Varujan was so good about it-fixing it quickly and efficiently and then returning my treasure to me!!

I arrived home yesterday after a not-so-good day, and when Will pulled out my beautiful and breathtaking treasure, it made my day ALL better ;)

I feel complete again <3

Please visit Varujan's website and witness the beauty for yourself!  You may want him to create your next jewelry piece ;)

STURGIS 2011- Life Changing

I have a whole new respect for Sturgis and Bike Rallies now.  I'm sure that I cannot fully convey it with words, but essentially-  I learned more about freedom, freedom of expression and acceptance than I ever thought possible.  These people go to let loose, mingle with people of like-minds and celebrate a life style that I only now fully understand.  Before, when I thought of bikers, I thought of gangs, rough and tumble guys, violence and leather.  Now, I think of free spirits, artistic souls, open-minded-and yet-guarded citizens and of course...leather.  Everyone should attend a rally at some point, and if you really want the full experience-  work a job at the rally.  You will have a new respect for your own job and how much easier it is!

Here are a few pictures of my Biker Adventure:

We had to ride a shuttle 29 miles to and from work everyday

=New respect for people who take public transportation.

That's time and dedication!  Made me smile everyday!

Bikes, Bikes EVERYWHERE!

For my husband:

Lots of pretty co-workers!

Got to enjoy the Blackhills everyday....

These people got offered $250,000 for their tiny lot and shanty and they said no....That's dedication to Sturgis, right there!

I told you they were pretty:

We have the same eyes!:

An experience I can never, and will never, forget.

There were a few "tags" on the bus at the beginning, but by the end the ceiling was COVERED.

Oh and by the way,  I randomly met Jerry Springer to top it all off.

This trip was just pure randomness, so I'm not surprised lol

Now, unfortunately I have to go to my "real job".  I'm not sure I know how to act "normal" anymore...This could be interesting... ;)

Cheatin' On My Apparel Diet...One Jumper Can't Hurt

So if you read this post, then you saw that I have bought a few articles of clothing...GASP!  But what about T.G.A.A.D (read about it here), you ask?  Well, I have found that a girl needs at least a bit of shopping in her life...my shorts didn't fit this summer, so I needed at least a couple of pairs of those, I have found sweaters and jackets on sale- which you just DON'T pass up when you live in Colorado and if I find an insanely good deal on my favorite tanks or something that is just too good to pass up, then I can't!  But in my opinion- this "Apparel Diet"  isn't about those purchases.  I believe that it's to make an impact on the over-priced market, to teach ones self the difference between what you need and what you want and to just reduce your carbon footprint over all.  Lemme tell you, if I'm right- then I am still on the T.G.A.A.D. bandwagon!
