happy birthday

We had a great time last night, celebrating Chris’s birthday with most of our Colorado friends.  It was also our last big outing before heading to Ft. Collins.  We’ve had a crazy crazy August, but I am so thankful that all of the health issues are behind us, and now we can look forward to a fresh start in Ft. Collins.

SO thankful to have this guy in my life.  We balance each other out pretty well.  [I’m crazy + he’s calm]  We met in the winter of 2002.  Chris’s roommate was a good friend of mine, in the Architecture program at Ohio State.  So, I inevitably met Chris at one of their house parties.  Soon after, we had our first date, which was snowboarding [lanfill turned ski resort in ohio] and dinner.  4 years later we were engaged and living in Charlotte, NC.
