Nice to see you again...

It's been a while since I've posted, so let me catch you up on the past month or so of my crazy busy life...

Row 1: Lindsey Bird is now a Graham! The ceremony was at The Cathedral in downtown Denver.
                 • The reception was at the Manor House in Ken Caryl, Colorado. Every person in the
                 wedding party was stellar and we had a blast celebrating and supporting the marriage of our
                 good friends, Lindsey and Karl.
                 • These two little lads are Karl's cousins.  Check out those suits and bowties! Very
                 J. Crew-ish of them.
                 • Here are Lindsey's sorority sisters plus me and one of the groomsmen. Britt had a good
                 time but peaced out early due to the lack of hip-hop jams. You know how she is ;)

Row 2: For Lindsey's bridal shower, Britt got this awesome dress hanger custom made. Best gift
                  ever. Find it on etsy.com.
                  • Here is the bride and her little bro, Greg. Watch for him in the baseball world. The draft is
                  in June so wish him luck! Unfortunately, we couldn't drink before the mass so this had to
                  wait until later.
                  • The weekend after the wedding was Mother's Day. I ordered this notepad from Pinhole
                  Press -- check out their site, they have so many awesome gift ideas like photo books, cards,
                  calendars and day planners. 

Row 3: Colorado has been acting quite Portland-ish as of late, which made for a gorgeous Flatirons
                  photo-op. Shout out to Austin (a medical student stud, expert climber, Britt's man-friend
                  and my good amigo and personal Aurorian security guard) who ventured up there with us.
                  • Kallgren Dermatology always sends their medical assistants off in style which means that
                  we enjoyed lots of margs and guac at the best hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant in
                  Boulder. This booger is Max and his mother is Cathy who is my inspiration and the best
                  dermatology PA ever. There's a little glimpse of her head in the background.
                  • Saying goodbye to the three musketeers, Devin, Eliza and Ethan, was tough--I've been
                  their nanny (glorified babysitter) for the past 2 years. I'm passing the reins offs to Brittany
                  for this one!

Row 4: Boulder just installed these bikes on Pearl Street. These shiny red wheels are available to
                   rent cheaply and would be so fun to take out for a summer afternoon of shopping and a
                   picnic! They also have this system in Denver and am looking forward to exploring the city
                   with Britt when she comes down to visit!
                   • Rockies games are a summer essential. Sammi D. would second that for sure! Nothing
                   can beat $4 rock pile tickets.
                   • We are excited to go see the Pirate exhibit at the Denver Museum. Have you been?
                   • Party at Flatirons Church--so typical. Can't wait for Shine! Watch the video below to see
                    the annual prom we throw for those who are marginalized in our community.

I'll try my best to post more, but I can make no promises. I start PA school next Thursday--I'm both excited and terrified.  Luckily, Austin has been such an encouragement and reminder that 1. I'll survive and 2. It is possible to live a balanced life.
