since I haven't blogged in ten years I thought I would catch up on why. we had a very busy, fun summer. we had lots of visitors, some of my favorites being Dominick's sister, Mary Kathryn and her hubs, TJ. we had so much fun hanging out with them. here is when we all went white water rafting.
yes, we are hardcore, thank you for asking.
we also did a lot of hiking and camping. we hiked mt. quandary, it was over 14,000 ft. the view from the top was amazing.

while we were camping we saw some mountain goats up on the mountains and we thought, 'they look cool' they must have thought the same thing about us because they joined us in our camp. this is Cody, my brother who went with us getting some good shots of our new friends.
when we got home from that camping/hiking trip I thought, 'hey I should take a pregnancy test.' I only had one left and had thrown the box away so when it came back with two blue lines I thought I knew what that meant but wasn't quite sure. so Dominick and I very excitedly started searching google images to confirm our suspicions. once confirmed, we were running around our little apartment, crying and hugging, it was very fun. since I only had the one test I went out and bought some more. then later in the week I took three more. I think that week I took a total of 6 pregnancy test. they were all positive and that led my mother to say to me, 'quit wasting your money on those test, you're pregnant!!' she was right, I am now 20 weeks so I am halfway.
this last Monday we went for our first ultrasound and got to see this little wonder.
we also found out this little wonder is a boy!! it was amazing to see him and watch him move. while we were looking at him he brought his little hand up from his waist to his mouth. it was really hard to watch him for so long and not be able to bring him home with us. we are very excited and overjoyed with his existence.
also we had a delightful weekend in Colorado springs.
we went to garden of the gods.
we went to the penny arcades. they had a ton of old arcade games, very fun.
(this was the same day the rangers played game 3 of the world series, hence my t-shirt. not quite ready to talk about the series yet, still painful)
we also visited the chapel at the air force academy.
I thought it would be like going to church in outer space.
then we went to boulder for our last afternoon to visit some breweries.
Dom, not being pregnant, enjoyed it a little more than me.
then we went to eat at a pretty cool restaurant called Oscar blues and watch game 4.
they had a lot of bar taps hanging from the ceiling.
when I was taking the above picture the bartender tried to jump in so I took a picture of him to keep him happy.
anyway, we had a wonderful time.
this is a long post but I wanted to catch up and recap.
hope everyone is well and enjoying the holiday season.
