Vail-entine



No, it isn't a misspelling (although I can't blame you for thinking it might be since your are reading my blog). Thanks to the Kari Godmother, Matt, Annabelle and I had a very nice time in Vail over the weekend. While our goal was not educational, I did learn a few things.

1. I don't have enough money or pretense to really enjoy Vail the way many do.

2. Make sure your cell phone actually works in Vail or come up with a plan ahead of time. Saturday night was frustrating as Matt and I chased each other all over Vail trying to meet up because the stupid cell phones were not working well.

3. Any place that provides fluffy white robes and slippers should be stayed in for more than one night.

4. It is easy to eat well on someone else's dime

It was a very enjoyable mini-trip. The drive up and back was very "Colorado" with lots of snow on the roads and a beautiful view. The hotel was very nice. We had an amazing dinner with some of Matt's co-workers. My favorite part, by far, was the bottomless Mimosa breakfast we had on Valentines day. We sat and enjoyed watching the snow fall, ate a fabulous spread of food and drank one to many mimosas. I am blessed to have such a great valentine, who in turn has blessed me with 3 mini valentines.

Oh, I am so praising the Lord that you and Matthew got to get away for, at least, the weekend. You certainly needed it. Matthew said that Valentine's Day morning was the perfect morning. Love your picture and what the girls made for papa. Hugs and kisses all around!

Working on my Domestic Goddess Badge

I looked at the to-do list I made last week and am happy to say I can cross off almost everything on it. It only took me 2 weeks. I think I either need smaller lists or more time. Here is what I have been up to: -I have made 2 loaves of banana oat bread, 1 batch of blackberry strawberry freezer jam, 1 loaf of gluten free bread. -From 12 juiced grapefruit I made grapefruit curd and a pan of grapefruit bars. -My garden is almost completely done, including a upgrade in size. I am growing tomatoes, onions, peppers, potatoes , cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower , herbs, lettuce, spinach , green beans, snap peas, cucumbers, and kohlrabi. -I hung herbs to dry -I have folded massive amounts of laundry...with more yet to do. All washed with my homemade laundry soap. -I recovered the "green monster" which is another post entirely. -I added a sitting area in my bedroom, where I am currently sitting, so that my laptop has a home other than the kitchen table. - I got a new dining room table a...

Blogging

So I have lost the love of blogging. I have always believed it is a narcissistic pass time, yet enjoy it anyway. I have found I easily spend entirely too much time tied to my computer. By the time I check Facebook , e-mail, friends blogs, etc I can easily waste an hour, if not two, of time. A friend of mine just blogged about the same thing. Yes, I get the irony of a blog post about not blog posting, but alas, here it is: I just read a good friends blog about my blog. A great leader here in Boulder, Kevin Colon wrote this: “Hugh moved to Denver to do a training deal for an organization and he ended up starting a church. His blogging is not incredibly frequent but when he does blog….it’s good!” Now, while I’m humbled that a man like Kevin would even want to read my blog, I figured it was a good time to state once and for all why I only post once or twice a month. Simply this……..”I prefer to spend my time with people.” I’ ve always wondered how people have time to read blogs, let alo...

Birth Story of Jamison Drake Crocker

Not everyone likes to hear how a baby made his way into the world. If you are one of those who just wants to know that baby has arrived and everyone is doing great, then read no further than this paragraph. Jamison Drake Crocker was born at 10:45 on Friday morning, May 18th. He is a big, healthy boy weighing 9lbs and 2oz and is 21.5 inches long. Mama and baby are doing great, sisters are in love and papa is proud. If you are still reading, consider yourself warned. Birth can be messy, and while I have every intention of keeping this non-stomach churning, not all stomachs are made of the same stuff. On Thursday night, Matt had to be in the city for a press event. Around 10:00 I texted and asked him for an ETA and he said he would be home around midnight. I took my very round self and went to bed. I slept fitfully, big and uncomfortable and being woken up by contractions every so often kept me from falling into a deep sleep. At 3:00 am I got up only to find Matt wasn't home. I ...
