Busy Week!

I had an extremely busy but fun week. It started out on Thursday coming home from work and finding my house at 85 degrees, because my air conditioning was broken! When Matt began calling people to come fix it, they originally said that they were taking appointments for July 19th. July 19th! Like a pregnant women can wait 3 weeks for her air conditioning to be fixed. Luckily Matt was able to diagnose what was wrong and so they were willing to come out and fix it since it was a quick fix. So by Friday afternoon the air conditioning was fixed! Yay!

Monica came to visit on Thursday too! Luckily for her she only had to live one night without the air conditioning while visiting us. Friday was my birthday, and Monica and I spent the day in Boulder. We went up to Flagstaff and wandered Pearl Street. Monica treated me to a pedicure! I sure needed it, as I can hardly reach my feet these days! It was wonderful! We then went and saw Cirque du Soliel that night. It was the Corteo show and it was really good! Monica loved the midgets.. they floated the one around on balloons into the audience and people pushed her up and around!

Saturday we took our time getting up, and then headed to Fort Collins. We were hoping to do the New Belgium Brewery Tour, but unfortunately got there too late and all the tickets were gone. We took the short self guided tour and then Monica and Matt tried free samplers! I drank some weird non-alcoholic drink, but it was fun to hang out!





On Sunday we went up to Estes Park and took the Haunted Stanley Hotel Tour. Stephen King stayed at the Stanley Hotel and it inspired him to write "The Shining". They were suppose to film the original movie there, but they couldn't because it didn't have enough power at the time of the filming. They did however film the newer Mini Series at the Stanley Hotel. The hotel is suppose to be really haunted and room 209 is suppose to be the most haunted room. Monica and I had our pictures taken in a tunnel where they say a little girl use to play, and often people feel her tug on thier clothes when they walk by the tunnel.





On Monday, Monica and I had a relaxing day and worked on our tans. We then went to a Rockies Game with a few of Monica's other friends that live in the area. It was a lot of fun and the Rockies won!



Monica left on Tuesday, and unfortunately she had a really long trip home. Her flight was suppose to leave at 3pm and arrive in Detroit at 8pm. Because of engine trouble and bad weather, she was deplaned twice, and eventually made it home at 12:30 in the morning!

On Wednesday Matt and I went up to Gold Hill in the mountains (where he grew up), like we do every July 4th. Matt use to be active with the volunteer fire department up there and he still goes up and cooks pancakes for their yearly July 4th Pancake Breakfast. It was a lot of fun and we then watched the small town parade. When we came back down to the city we watched the fireworks in Broomfield. They moved them this year and we only had to walk like 2 blocks from our house to see them! It was sweet!

Thursday it was back to work for me! I don't feel rested, but I had a great time. Thursday night we met up with some friends for dinner that are in town from California. Matt use to work with Jam, and it was good to see him and his wife Amy.

This weekend I'm on my own. Well I have Ikaika home with me. He's my guard dog! Matt and Juno went camping for the weekend. Hopefully I get the much needed rest!
