GET IR....

DONE....

Some great friends treated Teri and I out to a nite on the town and seeing Larry the Cable Guy in concert. He was at the Denver Convention Center and I think we were about 12 rows back--awesome seats! It was a gut buster as you can imagine. And, for all of our Texas kinfolk, he is coming to Austin and Corpus Christi in March!

NEW FAMILY MEMBER

Finally, the "Austin car search" is over--arriving an hour ago and 7 weeks after our search began is a 1986 Honda Accord loaded (pwr everything, cruise control, sunroof,etc) with an automatic transmission. Unbelievably, only 133,000 miles and ONE OWNER. Perfect car for him to finish up his required driving hours. He is not even elgibile to test for his license until Novemeber, so plenty of time to hone his skills. And my favorite part--when the sun is hitting it just right, it is a DALLAS COWBOYS blue!

RESCUE 911

It seems the 21 month old Brynn-cess was interested in cute firemen at such a young age, so her mommy gave her a hand this morning by locking the keys in the car, with it running, with MOMMY OUTSIDE the car. Hence, the call to the Arvada Fire Department to come rescue her. The Honda Accord 2 door reaked havoc with their equipment, but after 20 minutes or so, the darling in distress got to meet her 3 love interests!

(After the ordeal this morning, Teri came in wishing she had the camera and then decided against that desire expressing "that would have been tacky"-- oh well, perfect reason for me to have it on my blog :)

SHORT JOURNEY CONCLUDED...

Our gypsy church tour concluded tonite--it ended almost as quickly as it started. This was our 5th venue and our final. Flatirons Community Church in Lafayette, about a 25 minute drive from our house and this place is ALIVE and WELL! Cameron actually attended with another girl last week (who used to attend the same church we did and was Teri's coworker-they would make a cute couple :) and called us and just raved about the worship and the message and he was dead-on! While Teri and I felt that going 'small' would be a better fit, clearly we came from a big church that we once loved and now have found another 'big' church. Like Teri said, "It was like looking for a house--you just know when you are at the right one". Of course, the message was 'romance' in nature this week and the lead pastor had us laughing at the outset and crying at the end-- it was a night to remember.

Puxatony Phil’s Demise......

The famed groundhog is nothing more than a happy memory for a couple of buzzards who have feasted on him. It seems "PP" stepped out of his Mile High hole this morning and immediately became a corpse as Denver's record breaking chill for this date of EIGHTEEN DEGREES BELOW ZERO zapped him!
