Jacob, this is for you

I know someone has been "patiently" waiting for this post for a while so here it goes, now please get off my back:) While looking for plane tickets to Hawaii I added my email to every airline website to be contacted for great deals on airfare. With the outrageous cost of gas, the deals had been very few and far between. However, I opened an email and saw tickets to select cities for $49!!!! I had been waiting for an excuse to go and visit Peri and her new husband Jacob in Denver and I thought with airfare that cheap I had to do it, my heck, you couldn't even drive there for that price. Needless to say I booked the tickets and spent an amazing couple of days up there with the happy couple and my aunt and uncle. The trip was perfect. The weather was awesome, we pampered ourselves, we went for an enjoyable hike in Rocky Mountain National Park, laughed our guts out, and spent a whole lot of time relaxing. It was just what I needed and even losing 4 games of Sequence could not ruin the trip (Jacob, I hope you know that was all luck and next time you are going down) I would also like to note, however that I came back and totally redeemed myself in our bowling showdown so I kind of made up for it:) Thank you guys so much for having me and being such great hosts. You two are the best.







The following picture is of the two "whimp-o Nicki Kreinky's" (don't even ask) Peri's parents were are source of entertainment for most of the trip:)


Jacob had been telling us on the drive up to the National Park that the place was covered with elk. We were all very disappointed as we drove around and were not able to see a single one. Just when we were all losing faith in Jacob, we turned around the corner and saw this.



Peri talked a mean game plan when it came to bowling, but totally failed to deliver. We thought the scores may have humbled her a bit but she was already talking trash again before we even made it back to the car:)
