Craziness with a capital C! That’s how I’d describe this past weekend. There’s so much to share so let’s get on with it! lol

Friday
Ok so Friday, Adam had the day off since it was a training holiday. We had planned to spend the day fixing up some stuff around the new house in preperation for the arrival of our moving shipments at the beginning of the week. Saturday we were going to paint the master bedroom so that it would be finished by the time our furniture arrived. But of course, when you’re dealing with the military, nothing is ever as simple as it should be. LOL

Around noon on Friday we get a bunch of phone calls, like 5 calls in 2 minutes. Turns out it was the movers with our shipment from Monterey. Apparently it had arrived and they wouldn’t authorize storage for it so we had to let them deliver it right then. Great. So we ended up with stuff everywhere except the bedroom since we were planning on painting that room. Such a mess! By the time the movers finished it was after 3pm and we needed to start getting ready for our evening.

Friday Evening
Friday night we had tickets to see Kathy Griffin in Denver. Woohoo! Because of the whole moving surprise in the morning we didn’t end up leaving when we planned, so dinner ended up being a quick stop at Buffalo Wild Wings. Not exactly what I had wanted but it worked out fine. I think the best part was the weather was gorgeous so we ate outside on the patio, so nice. Ok on to Kathy Griffin! We arrived at the theater and the ushers took us to our seats. When I showed her the ticket she was all, “oh these are really close!” Now I had bought these tickets online about two weeks before the show, and all the pricing for the seats were the same so I went ahead and selected “best available.” Since we had never been to this theater before I really had no idea where the seats would be. Adam and I had tried to figure it out on their online chart but we weren’t sure where exactly they were. Our guess was that they were at the very back of the orchestra section which we figured would be fine. So the usher is walking us to our seats and we keep going down, down, down towards the stage. We finally get to…the orchestra pit, and there are our seats. They were literally in the area where the orchestra would normally be. Third row! I was shocked, SHOCKED! LOL It seriously could not have gotten better than that! The funniest part was almost everyone that were seated after us made the same comments about how they didn’t realize that’s where the seats were either! Too funny!

The show itself was absolutely fantastic! It was two hours of non-stop laughing, I swear. So awesome! If you ever get a chance you should definitely go! Here’s the super fantabulous photo I took during the show:

LOL! I had only taken Adam’s little P&S camera since I wasn’t sure if we’d even be able to take photos in the theater. It doesn’t exactly do well in low light, lol. There were people taking pictures with their flash on but I wasn’t sure if that was ok given how close we were. She’s looking a little ghost like but oh well, lol.

Ok let’s move on to Saturday, shall we?

Saturday
Saturday was painting day. I am so glad this time we only had the master bedroom to do, and even though it’s bigger than the other rooms, it was by far the easiest one to do. We were on a roll! I guess practice really does make perfect, lol. This was definitely the easiest and best paint job of the bunch, yay! The color is a kind of tranquil blue-green kind of color. I was going for something classy yet calming, without being too old fashioned. I LOVE how it came out. I think it may actually be my favorite room color we chose.

Isn’t it pretty? It’s actually really calming and relaxing when you’re in there. Love it!

And with that we’ve finally made it to Sunday! Are you still with me?

Sunday
Sunday was Circus day! LOL The Ringling Bros circus was in town and the military bought out the entire morning show so we were able to go for free. Woohoo! It was actually really fun. I was surprised by how many of the acts I remember seeing from when I was really little. Here’s a few photos, it was pretty dark in the arena so I didn’t really attempt too many and the few that I did take aren’t the sharpest. But I think you can still get the idea, hehe.

Some trapeze artists. I always think their tricks look so fun and totally crazy at the same time. lol

This one was taken during the “Bello-bration.” Bello is the clown who is the star of the show. He has this really crazy straight up hair and if you look closely everyone in this photo does too. The people in the little cars are all volunteers and they all had these orange hair-hats. LOL It was pretty funny.

Ok well it’s getting late so I’m going to wrap this up. Until next time…
