Rainy days & Mondays always get me down.

My grandma who was 89 passed away on October 29. While her passing was really sad, she lead an amazing life and she left this world probably the best way possible - by falling asleep in her favorite chair watching Jeopardy. The whole family headed out to Colorado for the services. It was good to see family and old friends. I even made it to the Boulder park for a good old Sunday afternoon session.

Hanging with these 2 was just like old times. Thanks for showing me a good time Chris & Amanda.

Diesel is an awesome, huge lap dog.

Brody ate a pizza bite right out of my hand when I wasn't paying attention.

The good old Flatirons.

Me, Grandpa, and Hilary.

This is my grandparent's wedding photo. They would have been married 60 years in April.

My Grandma's high school graduation picture. In a trunk of her papers we found her Masters Degree from Columbia. She did her undergrad in Boulder with a major in Home Economics.

My grandparents have been in the same house for over 30 years. It's filled with all these artifacts that are synonymous with my childhood.

From the service.

Like many from her generation grandma was in WWII. She was a medic and spent several years in India. This earned her a spot in Ft. Logan National Cemetery. And along with it came a full military burial.

When Taps played I think everyone was crying.

I remember Halloween...

More Halloween!

I swear that Halloween is now a month long. This weekend was a blast. I have tons of great photos but have not recovered enough to edit, post, etc.
At the Nemo party last night they had free prom-style photos. They had to be scanned and shared with the world. And since I had the scanner out there were a couple Polaroids that got digitized. My scanner is horrible so bare with me on these.

This is Pat's idea of having babies.

Halloween Comes Early

Carboy came up with the brilliant idea to have a Halloween party about a week and a half before Halloween. The reasoning behind it was that the weekends before and after will be full of other parties and stuff to do. I was unprepared for this and went with no costume but damn was it a great time. One of the best dance parties in years. When Panama came on everyone in the house was dancing around and singing at the top of their lungs.

Who brought these Frat Boys?

It was like Soul Train up in that piece.

Full-on Mexican wrestling match.

Nice hat.

It was really scary how much Eric's costume was like parallel universe Eric. It was like looking into the mirror of "what if I never started skating?"

I certainly had a good time.

The great part about this photo is that the place looks empty even though there were tons of people there.
Also, Andreas do I get photo incentive for this? Or do you need me for the next Sweatpants photo shoot?

I really hope this picture didn't ruin Brandon's chances with that girl he's talking to.

On the late night/early morning walk home this huge leaf caught my eye.

I had to walk because someone stripped my ride while it was locked up.
