Posts Tagged ‘Cheyenne Mountain Zoo’

A couple weekends ago, I officially opened HOTEL del PRO. In other words, I hosted my mom, my grandma, my ten year old sister and Lilly, a dog my mom was sitting for a week or so.

I live in a two-bedroom apartment. It wasn’t an impossible feat, by any means. But it was, however, a challenge. Now, don’t get me wrong. I LOVE my family and I’m so happy they decided to come visit. I took the couch, my Gram got my bed, mom took the futon while Evan rocked the floor. Everyone seemed pretty content with the sleeping situation. All in all, I’d say it was a success.

While they were down here, we all decided to go to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. It’s new to me and my little sister is an animal-lover to the max. I thought this was a pretty grand idea.

Perks of the zoo: ice cream (for nostalgic purposes) and the giraffes.

Here are a few of my FAVORITE pics from the day:

and last but not least…the wildest animal of them all.

So very happy we went.

Much love,

Right. Almost a month since I last posted. Whoops.

The truth is that I’ve just been busy! Which is a good thing. I’ve made some really fantastic friends here in The Springs. Tonight is my first night to be home. By myself. For more than an hour…in over a week. It’s been insane!

Don’t get me wrong – I’m lovin it! I’ve been playing softball and sand volleyball and going out for drinks; Jacques and I even went to our first Rockies game of the season last Saturday! I’m enjoying the HELL out of this summer.

Since the last time I posted, Jacques participated in a bike race. It was the Firecracker 50 up in Breckenridge, CO on the 4th of July. It was a 50 mile race and my guy did really well. He placed 6th in his age group and I’m so proud of him! He has another one coming up this weekend (which I won’t be attending) which is the Breck 100 (a 100 mile race) and I know he’s going to KILL IT!

I won’t be attending this race because my mom is coming down for the weekend…with my sister…and my grandma…and some dog that she’s watching for the next week. My apartment will soon become Pro’s Hotel! Eek! I’m really excited to see everyone and we’re thinking about going to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. I haven’t been yet and nearly everyone speaks highly of it so hey, why not?! Should be a good time.

Work is still going really well. We start certification next week and I’m really nervous. So far I’m doing really well so we’ll see if we can keep that going! I’m still liking my job and LOVING the company so no complaints here! I also really love the people I work with – we’re a crazy (and super eclectic group) which amazingly, works really well for us. Honestly, some great new people that I’m sure you’ll hear more about.

There’s really nothing else to say…except that I need to get back into the swing of posting more often!

Much love, Pro
