I’m sorry, folks. Lately, I’ve been too busy to post, too busy to reply to emails, too busy to read the newspaper (now that’s a shocker), and way too busy to take pictures. Things are good though! I was on a really successful business trip last week, cousin Rachel and Uncle Mike came to visit us this past weekend (and we had a blast!), our yoga classes are going great, Bridget threw a smashing Halloween party last night, and I finally finished the seventh Robert Jordan book.

Hope you are all doing well!

Last night David and I took Dan out for Mexican food for his birthday! We had a really fun time. We got to wear giant sombreros while the wait staff sang happy birthday to Dan and he blew out his candle in his sopapillas! How cool is that? Trust me, we were mortified, but we had a blast.

Tonight David and I are going to a vinyasa yoga class. We are so excited!

* It snowed for the first time up at work. Not just a couple of inches, more like a foot plus. Miraculously, Boulder only got several days straight of rain, despite snow covering the foothills. Isn’t the affect of altitude on weather fascinating?

* I’ve finished a bunch of books in the last two weeks. More on those as soon as I have the time to write-up reviews and post links to amazon.com.

* David was asked to peer review a prospective journal paper. Very exciting & prestigious.

* I am still deeply buried in projects at work and they are keeping me engaged, challenged, and busy. I am trying not to get too stressed, though I definitely no longer feel even a small fraction of how relaxed I was right after our honeymoon. Oh well. The holidays will be here soon. (Does that mean more or less stress?! I don’t know. At the very least it means less work and more play.)

* The fifth season of Alias has begun. We are officially addicted again. Sharon and Mike have kindly reinitiated our Alias routine at their house. It’s nice to see them again on a regular basis!

p.s. The photo at the right is of iced tea in my blue plastic cup at work… part of my every day routine.

Also, I’ve added more photos from our honeymoon to Flickr — Please check them out!

We’ve been doing many of the same activities that we did before fall arrived, but I’ve noticed they now feel different to me.

On our run this morning, I felt so cold at first and then slowly I warmed up and felt comfortable. Not overheated or too sweaty as I felt just a few weeks ago. Instead, I was incredibly content. It was just perfect.

Last night, we went on a date to the Boulder bookstore. We headed out (all bundled up!) just after seven and it was pitch black out. (I think it had been dark out for an hour or so by that point.) Lights from the stores cast shadows on Pearl Street. The air was so crisp and chilly. Leaves were scattered across the sidewalk. It was lovely and romantic and felt so fall.
