Wednesday's Words of Wisdom

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.

Sprint Tri in Boulder

On Father's Day Ben did his first tri of the summer. He signed up to do the Boulder tri series, which consists of the 3 triathlons, all different distances. This one was the shortest, the sprint. It consists of swimming .45 miles, biking 13.2 miles, and running 3.1. He did great, and it was a beautiful day in Boulder

The beautiful Flatirons. This was my few outside the transition areas

The bike racks. There's tons of money invested in those things!

I ♥ Food Trucks

If you’re ever downtown on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 11 and 2 you should definitely hit up Civic Center Eats. A variety of food trucks line Civic Center Park with all sorts of goodness. A group of us at work headed over there today to check it out and it’s pretty cool! My beloved biscuit bus is there as well as about 20 other trucks. You can find everything from pizza, to truffled french fries, to green chili, and even ice cream sandwiches. There’s even live music for your entertainment. You can check out a full list of vendors here. Sometimes I love working downtown!

The Happenings

It's been a LONG time since I've had an actual blog post. Life has been super busy around the Witter house. I got a promotion at work (YAY!) but have been feeling a bit overwhelmed. I have been working lots of overtime and blogging just didn't sound that fun by the time I got home. Thankfully it looks like things are slowing down a bit. So here's one extra long post of recent highlights.

This last weekend we headed up north for a bbq my sister and bro-in-law put together. We had a great time hanging out with friends, meeting new people, and playing lawn bags and other random games. I didn't take any pictures, but several people did, so as soon as I get some, i'll get them posted! Sunday was spent enjoying breakfast at Snooze (one of my favorites), hitting balls at the driving range, and then Ben and I went to Canvas and Cocktails. They were doing 2 versions of the same painting so it was perfect for date night. We had a lot of fun together!

The finished products!

Last weekend we went out with my family and my sisters in-laws. We headed over to Madcap Theater for some improv comedy. It was a lot of fun and we had some good laughs!

Earlier in May we headed to the Rockie's game with my sister and Casey. It was raining and freezing cold, but we had a great time together!

The next morning we went to breakfast at the Denver Biscuit Company. They own the biscuit truck that I blogged about last year. They seriously have the BEST biscuits ever. Biscuit sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, plain 'ol biscuits and butter or jam, and yes, even biscuit cinnamon rolls!

Wednesday's Words of Wisdom

We all have the same choice. We can't choose our natural talents or what opportunities life is going to throw our way, but we can choose to do this one thing: we can do the best job of living that we are capable of.
