we’re in!
December 28, 2009 Well, we just spent our first night at the house in Denver. It was a little strange but not too bad. Pat and Natalie helped us move the last of our things out of their house, pack up our storage unit into a truck, and then unpack into the house. All in all, it took 7hrs. So I basically got in a 7 hour workout yesterday ;) I’m not too sore today but definitely need to start rehydrating. I feel really dry and and stuffed up.
We don’t have internet until the 30th, eek! I’m going to Starbucks [with a giftcard] and hopefully I can post there. I took a few super quick pics throughout the moving day.
so.much.to.do.
After we got the truck packed up and drove it to the house, everyone was STarving. Pat suggested a restaurant, that I can’t remember the name of, but it was really yummy. As soon as we sat down we realized they had $2 bloody mary’s. Ut-oh.
There was a “make your own” bloody mary bar for only TWO dollars? We each had one :)
In the past, I haven’t been the biggest BM fan, but I thought for $2 it was worth it to make my own.
I thought the first few sips were really good, but then it kind of got to me. Too many flavors or something…not sure? Do you guys like bloody mary’s? Natalie + Chris helped drink most of mine. Nat was laughing at how un-spicy mine was, hehe :)
Hi Pat.
On to lunch. I had a breakfast panini that rocked. It was loaded with shaved turkey, swiss cheese, scrambled eggs, tomato and a little bit of bacon. What was really great, was that it wasn’t sitting in a pool of grease. It also came with a delicious little side salad, potatoes, and fruit. I ate 1/2 of the sandwich and everything else, minus a few taters. The other 1/2 was consumed at about 11pm with Chris.
I wonder how many calories you burn from moving for 7hrs?
Love all the windows! They aren’t as drafty as I thought they would be, which is nice.
Almost finished.
All of my holiday candy was extremely accessible :)
Trying to rehydrate last night. None of us drank enough water.
Gooood morning – Dec. 28th
What to eat in this house where all my plates are packed and I can’t make my OATS!!?? Ahhhhhh
Strawberry banana Horizon yogurt eaten with my new bamboo spoon. It was the first time I had this yogurt and I thought it was pretty good!
Oh yeah. HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY Kenna Beans!!!
Dakota, you look SO happy…stop with the excitement please.
We got Kenna from a Great Dane Rescue [Ruff Love] in Charlotte this past May. She is a Great Dane/Labrador mix. We saw her at the Southpark beer festival in May. The Great Dane Rescue was raising money there. She was about 4-5 months old when we first saw her. She was the cutest little thing. I had about 3 beers worth of samples before seeing her. TWO dogs?? No problem….silly me. Chris was all for it though. It was a little crazy at first especially because she was already 5 months old and didn’t have any training yet. She’s learning, slowly [haha].
We were told that she was found with her sis and a few other pups tied to a trailer, completely starved :(
A few weeks later she was ours!
First car ride home.
Dakota was happy to have a playmate, and a bed + toy stealer.
Best buds.
In my car, with a sheet over the seats.
We think she is about 70+ lbs now. Dakota is about 55lbs. Kenna is such a goofball. She has no clue how big she is. Two of her funniest quirks are 1] sitting on things like she is a human – she sits all the way back on her butt and will sometimes scoot her butt up onto the couch with her front paws on the floor 2] in the AM she has this huuuge squeaky dinosaur sounding yawn – it is SO loud + completely ridiculous
The couch is together!!! So we’re about 1/20th of the way done now, hehe.
All for now!!!

Glad the move went well...moving in the snow can't be fun! I'm excited to see the pics of the new place once you guys get it all set up!
I always want to like bloody Marys too and try them over and over again. Something about it though... I like a mimosa instead! Good luck with the rest of your move!
Glad your move went well! Happy birthday to your pup!!! :)
I'm not a bloody mary fan either! I don't like drinking tomato juice.
I love your dogs, they are so loving and cute! Must be good company.
Welcome! Sorry we have such icy weather for you. I love bloody marys, but only if they're made well.

I didn't realize Kenna was a lab/great dane mix. That's the mix id love to have if I ever get anywhere where I can own a dog. Love great danes!
