My Daddio Turns 60

Larry Simmons is an old man 60 years old!! Haha!! We were so blessed to be able to bring my parents out to Denver to help celebrate 6 decades of this wonderful man! 

Full House

Recently Tj and Noelle had to leave for Orlando for an entire FIVE days!!!! I was left here in Denver and the first day or two was pretty nice. I took naps, watched old movies Tj would never agree to watch and danced around the house. After the third day I was completely over it. I spent lots of time praying and just bumming around. I also took advantage of our apartments gym and went to a workout class, The Body Barre, my friend Joanne told me about. Oh and then there was that time the fire alarm got pulled at 1am and I had to spend 30 minutes outside the apartment with my huge winter coat on. Only to come back inside and be woken up several more times as they tried to get the alarm to turn off completely. 

Denver Lately

Hey friends, just wanted to catch you up on some stuff we've done recently that I haven't had a chance to post about. There are so many things to do here and we have had a lot of fun trying to get to as many as possible. Things seem to be very dependent on weather here so I am excited to see what other things we may be able to get into as spring arrives (MOOSE, bring on the MOOSE). There was free admission at the zoo and it was perfect, I was off of work and it was a cozy 60 degrees, sounds crazy coming from a Florida girl. 

To The Mountains We Go

This past week we headed up to the mountains for some fun in the snow. We plan to take full advantage of all the winter activities. When we saw the opportunity to go dog sledding, there was no question, we were all about it. The dogs were so loud I was worried Noelle might get scared, but not a chance. The ride was 45 minutes and the scenery was incredible. We could have done without the dogs pooping during the ride but I tell you, I have never seen a dog run and do their business at the time, true talent.

Denver Adventures

I plan on eating my way through Denver and we have had a great start. Now I also planned on getting on a serious work out plan while we were here. With the thought that the high altitude would whip us into shape quicker than being at sea level. The question is can I do both? I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this question but I'm not ready to admit it.

Groupon is great!! For a total of 6 bucks we got to tour this historic home in downtown Denver.

The ORIGINAL stove to the home.

 Over 90% of the items in this home are untouched, with the exception of this waffle iron. 

  

This was fun. And we found some really tasty beef jerky :)

 I'm gonna need this in my future backyard.

Living so close to public transportation is a huge bonus.

 We visited the of town of Littleton.

 Downtown for dinner.

 My first Bison burger.

 The waiter asked us if we had any big plans for the night. Wednesday now means EMPIRE! Obsessed!!

Who knew that dressing Noelle for this weather would make me so happy!!! Noelle is popping tags left and right, is it petty to say I'm slightly jealous? She received SO many cute outfits during her birthday party earlier this month.

Our little lady will be ONE TOMORROW!!!!! AHHHHH!!! Can't wait to post all about it :))

Denver sunsets are breath taking!

Our First Visitors To Denver

During our second weekend in Denver we got our first visitors!!! My best friend/Noelle's God Mom, Blair and her boyfriend Junior got in late Friday night. 

Settling In Mile High

We've been in Denver for just over 2 weeks now and we LOVE it already!! We are itching to get into all the activities it has to offer. Our apartment is not yet ready to share but as soon as we get the TV on the wall I will post pics. We arrived into town just hours before I was scheduled for my of orientation. I took this picture later that while walking over there overpass. Seeing the mountains in the distance will never get old, especially when you come from such a flat state.
