Denver

Whoa...what a whirlwind two weeks. I'm glad to be home, but it is just craziness at work right now. We have our operator conference this weekend. Yucky! Working Friday night and all of Saturday..double Yucky!! But some great news to come soon, hopefully, fingers crossed! I'm hoping to get the open full-time salary position at work and they will be letting us know soon.

So the trip to Denver...

During the Dress Hunt of '09 C suggested making the search into a vacation, so I did. I called a salon in Denver and they had the dress I was searching for! I made the arrangements and this past weekend we trekked to the nice cool mountains. Man were they beautiful and the weather was amazing! A nice alternative to the 100+ degree heat here in Texas. After a late night flight and some issues with bags we settled in for a good nights sleep. Too bad I was too excited to sleep very well. We woke up that morning to an absolutely beautiful day! Mom and I went shopping while C went exploring.

When we went into the salon THE dress just hanging there. I was so excited! (It was really there. I was super scared that I was going to be flying all that way to find that the dress really isn't there.) I decided to try on some other dresses as well. I tried on a very form fitted gown. No way! A very pretty big puffy gown...No Thanks! Then the last gown with it...

I couldn't be happier. It was exactly what I wanted...

I was absolutely giddy the rest of the day! We were then off to lunch and then to Golden for the Coors Brewery Tour. Some celebratory and free beers later we were off to dinner with local family that we hadn't seen in years.

Sunday was lots of fun..

Sleeping in, then touristy shopping and exploring of downtown and lunch. More beer at lunch. Strawberry Ale yummy. Then we went to the Natural Science Museum. Lots of fun looking at fossils. Then it was time to come home, but Denver had other plans. Our flight was delayed for 45 minutes coming into Denver. We were then delayed nearly an additional 45 minutes due to weather. On top of all of these delays we had to take a longer route home because of storms. So we didn't land in Austin until 11:30pm. It was nearly 1:00am when we finally made it home.
