Okay, so much for good intentions....seems I constantly struggle with knowing what I should do and actually doing it! In this case I have fallen short on my promise to "blog" more often in 2008. Hard to believe nearly a month has past since I re-capped our Wyoming adventures. Honestly, after days filled with an in-box full of correspondance I do not yearn to spend my down time in front of the computer. Kelly, on the other hand, seems to be energized by what the computer offers--he his always discovering new gadgets and sites. That is why he is my very own Computer Geek. Just tonight, a co-worker called for his help in un-doing a computer problem. They know not to call me!--I just call Kelly!

The snow that fell prior to Thanksgiving finally melted away this past week only to reappear on Valentine's Day. More snow fell last night. Mom is planning to fly out for Easter. She noted she has never hunted Easter eggs in the snow. This may be her year......

For our first anniversary in October I bought us season ticket's to the Cheyenne Civic Center's Cultural Arts program. (It's a guaranteed date!) Last weekend we saw "Gypsy". It was fabulous. We will see the Ten Tenors ina couple of weeks. We are also planning to see Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy in March during Mom's visit. I think Dylan will be mesmerized.

Dylan is spending the long weekend with his Dad. Kelly and I took a roadtrip to Denver on Saturday to attend the Colorado Home a Garden Show at the Denver Convention Center. Check out these stats:

• The show occupies 400,000 square feet of show space
• Over 45,000 square feet dedicated specifically to flowering garden displays (Quite a site in the midst of a Coloradoo winter!)
• 600 Companies from 25 states and Canada showcasing there products and services.
• 70,000+ attend the week-long show.
• and more.....

It was a fun day as Kelly and I fanatsized about the home and yard we would like to one day have. We actually took pictures of our back yard and from the remarks and the expressions on people's facing, it will be a long time before we have our dream backyard. We'll keep you posted.
Afterwards we enjoyed southern cuisine at the new "Bubba Gump's" restaurant. Very, very good. Can you belive a local Cheyenne club was having a "soul food" tasting this weekend as a fundraiser?? Yep, they were marketing the food I grew up on. Sometimes I still feel like I have landing on another planet. Sometimes Kelly thinks I must be from another planet--especially when he looks at me after I have responded in my southern drawl and he says, "I have no idea what you just said!". Thankfully, love transcends language and culture.

Speaking of love, Kelly surprised me with an MP3 player with video, pictures, music, and FM radio features. He loaded our wedding video along with our favorire Joy Williams song, over 100 pictures, and over 500 songs. It was apretty special gift. He gave Dylan my old MP3 player. When he asked D what kind of music he preferred, he responded "Pokemon". So, Kelly found over 1G of Pokemon music and loaded it onto the MP3 player and gave it to Dyaln. He was thrilled. Kelly's a good guy.

Well, K and I have a date in front of the tv to watch the new KnightRider movie. Its an odd feeling when you know you have reached middle age because there are remakes being made of movies and tv shows we grew up with. Not to mention--the reapperance of fashions and home decor. Its like Deja Vu all over again.......

Yes its definantely middle age---how did that happen?????
