WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS….Like any good Wisconsinite I was extremely excited to watch the Packers win Super Bowl XLV! Though it probably would have been a little more exciting watching it in Wisconsin with other people who were football/Packer fans-but either way I am yet again proud to be from Wisconsin and a PACKER-BACKER because Lombardi is finally coming home to Green Bay.

Besides the Super Bowl excitement this last weekend, I spent much time in the car traveling to Denver with to go home with my friend Scarlott, to celebrate her birthday with her family. Friday night Scarlott’s brother, Ean took us downtown to watch a show at Mo’s Barbeque. Followed by a pretty casual weekend of lounging around, playing games and going out to dinner on Saturday night for Scarlott’s birthday dinner. And before we knew it, it was Sunday morning and time to head back over the mountains to Grand Junction.

On our way home I did get my first sight of the legendary Big Horn Sheep that reside here in the Rockies. They were right along side the road fighting while we were driving on I-70 through Vail. They are a beautiful animal, and much larger then I had expected!

In other news: IT SNOWED IN GRAND JUNCTION!!! It has been the first time it has snowed in GJ, since I moved here. It has been a little interesting hearing locals complain about “All the snow” when really there is only a few inches on the ground. My response to them is-“I’m from Wisconsin where snow is at least a foot deep and we have wind chills below zero, this is nothing!” Though I did kind of like wearing flip-flops last week ... J 

WE ARE THE CHAMPS!!!
