Wedding crashers: Ft. Collins

Last weekend, Little Sister and I ran down to Ft. Collins to celebrate a wedding with some old friends. Mike met us there and we had a great time!

Before the wedding festivites started we picked up Little Sister's +1 in Laramie, one of her friends from her college softball days. Then we hit up David's Bridal to find me a bridesmaid dress for Little Sister's wedding that is coming up in February. Here is what I'll be sporting in the dead of winter while Little Sister and Little Sister's Boyfriend (I think he needs a new blog name) get hitched, only mine is in coral.


Then we tried lunch at Beau Jo's Pizza, only to find that it had been closed, only to find later that it had really only moved a block or so away. We ended up eating at a brewery in Old Town, which was delicious and had beer so I thought it was a win anyway.

Then we were off to the wedding venue. The wedding took place at the bride's parent's house. It was so pretty and an absolutely beautiful day. It was 25 degrees when we left Wyoming that morning and nearly 70 for the outdoor ceremony. Congratulations to Mick and Kendra! and yes another epic fail on the pictures so I stole these off of Mick's Facebook. I'm responsible like that.

    When I read Beau Jo's closed I could not believe it... Thanks for reveling that it had just moved, however I'm a girl that doesn't like change so i'm not sure I like the idea of the move but whatever. I'm just glad I can still get Beau Jo's pizza! :))

WILW: laugh 'til it hurts

[Linking up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday] A few years back, OKTrailerPark Friend and Snowboard Friend and I went to Canyons in Utah for a girls weekend. We had a slope side condo, reduced price lift tickets, wine and the resort swimming pool. Now when we vacation we do it up right. We snowboarded and rode the alpine slide by day and by night we soaked in the pool, wore sweatpants, cooked dinner in our condo, played cards, drank wine and watched this YouTube video....over and over and over and over. the.best.ab.workout.ever. Whenever I'm having a sub-par day, I pull this video out. I mean I do have it favorited on my work computer even! If this video doesn't make you laugh, go to the emergency room NOW! Here is a little note from Ed and Ross's mom, who posted the video. As you can read Ed and Ross were best friends! PLEASE NOTE..... THESE CLIPS WERE TAKEN OVER A PERIOD OF 18 MONTHS.... ED WAS A VERY GOOD BOY MOST OF THE TIME.... I HAVE HOURS

Losing the farm

Image
When I tell people I work for the Farm Service Agency, I either get a knowing nod like "oh you are one of those government employees" or I get a "what do you actually do?". I've started leading off with working for the US Department of Agriculture because most people have actually heard of that that. We are a small agency within USDA that administers the farm subsidy, disaster and some insurance programs of the Farm Bill. The farm bill is made up of 15 different titles addressing different areas. The 15 titles or parts of the Farm Bill are , the ones that are bolded are the only ones that I directly work with through FSA. Commodity - provides income support to growers of select commodities Conservation - provides funding for farm environmental stewardship thought programs that improve management practices, retire less productive land and protect natural resources Agricultural Trade & Food Aid - funds US agriculture export a

What i'm loving wednesday: winter

[Linking up with Jamie at  This Kind of Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday!] One kind word can warm three winter months. ~Japanese Proverb I'm LOVING..........Winter I love winter! but I hate shoveling snow. As it snowed around here (finally AND 2 days in a row!), I thought about my hatred for shoveling snow....I think if it were either light before I went to work or after I got home, maybe shoveling wouldn't be so bad. So snow and winter go hand-in-hand, how can I love winter if I don't like shoveling snow?   Playing in it of course! Christmas markets, throwing snowballs, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sleigh rides, hot tubbing, cabins and fireplaces, hot snock-o-late, big snowflakes, crisp untouched fields blanketed in fresh snow. It's a clean slate and I love it! Have a great winter and enjoy all it has to offer! Here is a picture I took a while back my way home from snowboarding at Beaver Mountain, Utah (a great little ski area btw). This is
