Ah Tobias!

So I'm officially fired for posting pictures of my dog on my blog but I've taken some really cute pictures of Tobias this weekend so I thought I would add them. Plus he's pretty dang cute that I couldn't resist!

Just kick'in it back watching a movie with Me and Miranda perfect thing to do on a Sunday afternoon.

Yep life is pretty damn rough! I mean the dog was named after my favorite town on the island of St. Croix so his life is pretty fitting . . . for those who don't know it's Tobias Christiansted Jonckowski

Oh so cute! (See how could I resist!?!)

sometimes.

sometimes i think you need to have a bad week. we always expect bad weeks to happen no matter how much we dread them. when they do arrive it is almost calming because we know this too shall pass, the clouds will part and life as we know it will continue as usual.

so as i look at my half empty glass of white wine i realize that this week has been just that . . . a bad week, a week that feels like i could almost be broken, a week that makes me want to crawl back into bed the moment i wake up. for what reason i'm not really sure. maybe it's my job finally taking its toll on my spirit self, maybe its the 8 1/2 hour meeting i had to endure today, maybe its missing my family and those who mean so much or maybe its just simply a shitty week.

for what ever reason it may be i'm paying my dues, laying my head down and praying that tomorrow is a better day.

Thought I might add some new photos

I thought I would add a few fun pictures from the past couple of weeks. I have been fortunate to have done some really fun things as of lately so let's see . . . ah yes Dan and I went to the Denver Car show which was a lot of fun and we definitely found a few cars that we could take home!

Pretty nice huh? Good way to spend $100,000! I believe this one is an Aston Martin, unfortunately we couldn't get too close. But my goodness this car was pretty!


Dan was able to get some cheap tickets to the Nuggets game last weekend - so Brooke, Brian, Dan and I went and as always had a fabulous time! I believe this shot was taken at half time they did a really neat military theme.

Here's the guys looking tough (well Brian is anyways) at Brooklyn's!



Dan and I waiting for the game to start. Did anyone notice I chopped my hair? Yep another phase in my many hair stages!



So I call this photo 'what happens when you leave your camera behind with the Hopkins while getting a drink!' So funny Brooke I'm dying laughing!!! ;o)


Uh huh real nice! Another Hopkins classic!



After dinner and drinks at Brooklyn's, the Nuggets game, the light rail home and a quite few cocktails Dan and I got comfortable played some cards, enjoyed a few more drinks and then called it a nite.

A good cup of coffee

I think a lot can be said about a good cup of coffee, comfy clothes, Tobias snuggled closely to my feet and watching the snow fall outside. It is moments like this that I cherish and wish I could hold onto for much longer than time allows. It does allow me a moment to stop and soak a little bit of life in which I have to admit has been a challenge. I knew moving down here this new job would take adjustments yet I didn't quite realize how hard it would be on my spirit. However moments like this whisper that 'everything is going to be okay' and I can pick up my weary soul smile and know that today is going to be a good day.

So here's to the ebb and flow of life and making everyday a good day no matter how much you want to run and hide.
