Always knowing how even though I say I'm going to post pictures I don't get around to it because I can't find the motivation to find the camera cord. Dammit.

Today on our way to Golden we found a new road that was desolate (in the middle of the city) and had rolling hills for miles. We were driving into the sunset and everything was GREEN! It's never green here. So surreal. So beautiful. So incredibly awesome.

Started a bike ride today thinking I was in the worst shape of my life and ended it thinking it really wasn't that bad and it was sooo worth the uphill.

May 2

OMG today was so much fun. One of those days where you wake up the next day a little bit hung over and say, "Drinking last night was TOTALLY worth it." I don't say that very often.

I can't list just one thing, because the combination of events was what made it so awesome. Sushi in the afternoon for just a snack with good friends. Hot Saki hitting the spot. A quick trip to the dive bar on the way home leading to 5 red beers, video trivia, and somehow midnight rolling in at the townie karaoke bar. What a fun day.

May 1

My coworkers and awesome husband threw me a surprise happy hour for my birthday!! I've never had so many people congregate just to have a beer with me. I'm so blessed in this life.
