Around the house

Here are some pictures from around the house, as many people have asked for.

Some of the dogs at the house and just random pictures taken.





Pictures from moving day! Pretty much everything is put away except for the room with all the boxes, which is my office/junk room. All of the boxes pretty much got dumped in there!





Here are some pictures from the stuff that we have started putting away. We finally got out blinds up but I think I took these pictures before they were put up.





Hiking in Palmer Park






This weekend we went up to Palmer Park. It is a huge park, but not really the types of park we are used to. We think of parks as areas with lots of grass, Colorado thinks of parks as places with hiking trails and picnic tables, although there are a few softball fields so it does have grass! It was really nice to be hiking and everything smelt like pine. The views from the hike were great too! We didn't take the dogs because we weren't sure how busy it would be but next time they will definitely come with us.

Random pictures from our walks around Gillrath







The mustard fields! I love how yellow they look when they bloom, just fields and fields of pure yellow.



Gillrath- the town we stayed at before we left...also the location of the infamous Il Genios!



Il Genios- Our favorite pizza place ever! No pizza comes close here although Papa Murphys Chicken garlic pizza comes pretty dang close!

Graduation Day

May 9, 2009

Before we left Germany I had my graduation! We left for Heidelberg at 4:30 a.m. graduation day, leaving Geilenkirchen behind for good. We arrived around nine and got signed in. Neither of us had been to the base in Heidelberg before so we wandered around the base for a good hour...and let me tell you walking an hour in heels is not the smartest idea!! I wish that I knew that I would be standing two hours prior to the ceremony just waiting for people to get lined up then maybe I would have rethought the long walk. The ceremony was really nice. The speakers kept things short and to the point. After the ceremony, Psi Chi, the honor society I am a member of had pictures with the university President then it was time to eat! WE had some food and headed to Frankfurt where we stayed the night at the Sheraton at the airport since our flight left the next morning.

Getting ready for graduation, nothing like getting dressed at the car!
