Oh hi friends! How the heck are ya? Long time no talk! July was such a blur. Here we are in August, holy moly. Happy August! July was so fun, full of lots of visitors, birthdays, adventures and time with family and friends. We are getting closer and closer to Christmas and I cannot wait! Yes, I'm one of those people who starts talking about Christmas in August, so sue me.
But anyways, it's August, a lot happened in July and let's catch up, shall we?
July started with a BANG. One of my best girls, Callie got married in Napa in the dreamiest wedding ceremony I've ever seen. We actually danced until midnight, drank the most delicious wine and took thousands of photos. It was such an amazing weekend under the stars and between the vines. I cannot wait to go back.
While we were in San Francisco we celebrated Coti's 30 birthday! Whoo hoo, welcome the dirty thirty Coti, it rocks. So glad I got to celebrate you early!
Following Napa is always hard. But in July, we cheered on the Rockies, I cheered on Adam while he ran the tough mudder and we enjoyed a long weekend in Breckenridge with friends. We capped the long month off with a trip with Adam's family to Estes Park.
Estes Park is a dream situated right at the front range of the Rocky Mountains and at the eastern entrance of the Rocky Mountain National Park. It also borders the Roosevelt National Forest. It is a vision.
We hiked Deer Mountain Trail, bought our body weight in salt water taffy and shopped main street.
We ate at Latitude 105 which has the BEST good eva. The atmosphere is eh, but the food is amazing.
We grabbed drinks at Estes Park Brewery, pizzas at Poppy's, Italian food at the Dunraven Inn, lunch at Mama Rosa's and drinks at Marys Lake 1929 Tavern.
Safe to say, we love great drinks and food.
The last day of our weekend was Adam's birthday! He fly fished with his dad and then we had a great lunch and finished the night with dinner at the Stanley. We ate dinner at The Cascades at the Stanley Hotel, best known for it's part in the Shining. It's allegedly haunted and there are rooms you can stay in that are more haunted for your chance to see a ghost or something. Happy 31st birthday to my hubs, you are the best thing in this world.
How was your July? What did you do? Tell me everything. Ps. If you're not signed up for the newsletter, you wanna be! A new one is coming out Sunday!

My favorite forever wedding date
Could this couple be any more gorgeous. Cheers to the happiest couple!
Obsessed with this bride bun.

My best little girlfriend.
Rockies games are fun. Still learning the rules, but sitting outside with a beer is the best.
Proud of Adam for running the tough mudder.
12 miles running through the mountains and doing random course challenges. Whew, he's tough.

Happy August everyone! Sorry for the lack of posting lately, life has been nuts!
I am so glad August is here. The last few months have been a whirlwind and I'm so glad we can finally slow down. Let's catch up with each other!

- This past weekend we celebrated Adam's 30th Birthday! It was a surprise craw-fish boil and I think it went off without a hitch. Thank you to all our friends and family who flew in from around the county to surprise Adam. It was the greatest weekend. A recap post on surprise parties is coming Thursday!
- Two weeks ago we spent the week in Lake Tahoe for the most epic family reunion. It was so fun to hang with out family. That recap will be next week! If you're looking for Tahoe places to go, I will have all the suggestions!
- THE BACHELORETTE finale is tonight and I am dying to see who JoJo picks. Stay tuned for tomorrow's post for all the scoop. If you need some recaps I've got them here --> JoJo
- Did you catch my post on traveling with your pup? Henry is quite the world traveler and he is sharing all the tips!
- Speaking about dogs, we are getting PUPPY NUMBER 2 on Wednesday and I could not be happier! Her name is Lola, I cannot wait to share pictures with you! I'm not sharing any more than that, because obviously she has to be somewhat of a surprise. Get ready for tons of dog pictures and puppy posts. Dog #2 tips are welcomed!
- Did I tell you I saw Adele a few weeks ago? People, if you have the chance to go, GO! It was the best show I've ever seen, ever. I want to go again more than anything.
- Did you know Wednesday is ONE YEAR from my knee surgery. Ugh, I'm glad that is over. Wednesday I'll be sharing all the tips on recovery and how I'm prepping for ski season this year.
I'm so excited for August and a little time to slow down. I love being busy, but being home with my hubs is even better. Happy August people, what do you in have store?
Everyone says it, but can you believe how fast 2015 went? It seems like just yesterday I was writing my year in review for 2014, but here I am, drifting down 2015's memory lane.
Oh, 2015. What a year you were.
Between lay-offs, torn ACL's, delicious recipes, gorgeous weddings, fun honeymoons, failures, successes and everything in between made for a 2015 I certainly wont forget anytime soon.
#bestofnine is currently sweeping Instagram and I'm not one to let trends go by without joining in. Before we start the year in review, here's my best of nine! It appears the winter season pictures are really loved. Thanks for following, liking and commenting :) 2015 really has been one of the bests.
Warning: this post might be a little long, but it's my fav, so grab a glass of wine and settle in.
It's time to look back on 2015.
January: I got laid off. Am I allowed to say that? I've never written that out before. But I got laid off in January. But I also made my first patch of paleo bread, saw Sam Smith live, watched a lot of the Bachelor, and did a lot of Pure Barre. Overall, it was a great month.
February: I was thrown a gorgeous bridal shower, went to my best friends gorgeous bridal shower, watched more episodes of the Bachelor and tore my ACL and my meniscus.
March: March was slow. I was a month out from tearing my ACL so it consisted of a lot of surgeon appointments, MRI's and random doctor visits. We sent our wedding invites out and prepped for our honeymoon. I got a wonderful new job (which is still my current job), crafted some delicious recipes, Jamie King re-tweeted me and Whitney won the Bachelor. Wanna know the BEST part about March? My adorable niece was born.
April: April was a really fast blur of a month. Dress fittings, my best friend's bachelorette party and my bachelorette party in Vegas. It was Adam and my one year Denver-Anniversary, we made delicious recipes and enjoyed our last month as an engaged couple!
May: I got married! By far the best month of the year. We spent 6 wonderful days in Arizona celebrating all things wedding. We got married and ventured off to Grand Cayman for the most wonderful honeymoon in the world. Tanned and relaxed we headed back to Arizona for my best friends wedding and my 10-year high school reunion. Oh, what a month. It will be one I'll always remember.
June: June was the calm after the storm. May was the busiest month of my life and in June we relaxed. I turned 28, we celebrated one month of marriage and we settled into life as husband and wife. Wanna know the BEST part about June? My best friend got engaged! Hooray!
July: Adam turned 29, we celebrated the 4th of July in Omaha and I took a blogging hiatus. The blogging hiatus was the best thing I did for myself and this space of mine. I came back inspired, encouraged and ready to write. To celebrate July, you get a delicious picture of my hubs!
August: The hiatus ended and I reintroduced myself to you, my lovely readers. Kids started school, my nephew turned one and we threw an amazing shower for Coti and Matt. The worst part? I had knee surgery. The best part. I started healing. August was good, but I was glad when it was over.
September: Adam and I spent Labor Day in Jackson Hole, Wyoming which is so rad. We celebrated tons of birthdays. I conquered paleo banana bread, got my knee surgery brace off, I had some great guest posters on the blog and we enjoyed fall in Denver.
October: I failed and I found my self worth. I went to Michigan to celebrate family. I saw Taylor Swift with my girls, watched my niece turn three and went to the Denver Beer Festival. I mastered the art of paleo muffins, I co-hosted an Instagram challenge and I figured out what is the most important. It was a month of learning, growing, some tears and a few bottles of wine. I think these months are the most important because it's how you grow.
November: in November, Adam and I celebrated 5 years together and 6 months of marriage. We made delicious food - ribs and again, I mastered paleo sandwich bread. We spent Thanksgiving in Arizona with our family, celebrated World Kindness Day, had a ton of snow storms and I launched my sponsorship program!
December: Adam and I spent a weekend in Keystone, dinner dates with friends, I showed you what's in my bag, we starting looking for houses, I showed you who I think is the most fascinating and we spent Christmas in Omaha. December flies by every year and every year I have all these huge plans, but it escaped me again this year. Now, we're gearing up for New Years and 2016!
So, I hope you enjoyed that super long trip down memory lane because I loved it! How was your year? Anything super fab? Let me know, I want to hear all about it! Until next year everyone! Happy 2016!
