winter waitingland

i used my hot glue gun today. oh boy was it fun.
today regan and i had plans to go swimming, but his friend, brian, called and told us he has reservations at a very expensive restaurant in the foothills for tonight and couldn't make them. he said that he wanted to treat us to dinner. we excepted, regan more forwardly than i, and had a wonderful dinner from a wonderful friend at a restaurant we would have never been able to afford. so nice. i hope everyone has friends like brian.
today i feel in a state of waiting. yesterday too. i am not sure if it's bad, but i think that if one is to ever be in a state of waiting this is the best time.
i am also really cold. burr.
i miss my east coast life.
i don't like denver anymore. sometimes.

merry christmas new jersey

this is crazy:
Lawmakers in the US state of New Jersey have approved a bill abolishing the death penalty.
The move would make New Jersey the first US state to abolish capital punishment since the US Supreme Court reinstated executions in 1976.
i feel like this is a huge step in the right direction. this makes me unbelievably happy. good for you peeps.

in other news:
it's supposed to get to 5 below tonight. burr. and we were going to zoo lights. maybe not anymore.

regan and i had our 1 year anniversary on tuesday. regan surprised me with tickets to disney on ice, princess wishes. it was hilarious and really fun. he didn't realize it was princess wishes until after the tickets were bought. needless to say, we both felt like princesses that night.

finals!

it is now the weekend before finals week. it is very interesting to me that i never really cared about school and now...let's just say i care. i really don't have anything to worry about as far as passing my classes. my worry is in my gpa. in order to go out of state for internship we must have a certain gpa. now, i am well above it, but in 3 quarters? we'll see. oh, i am thinking about an internship at a teaching university in oregon.
i guess i should go study.

it's done!

i am very excited that we finally are done with this process of conversion. we've been waiting for our stop sign tank for over 3 weeks. it feels good to drive to my *far away* school and not feel so guilty.



don't the controls look like james bond or something. this picture isn't great, so just trust me. regan put in an alarm so if either of us turn the car off with veggie on it will sound and help us to remember. it is really loud, so i think i'll remember just because i would be so embarrassed if it went off. nice touch reg.



now regan wants to tint the windows and put a decal on the back windshield that says something to the effect of "fueled by veggies". i laugh.

thanksgiving pictures

i am so sad that none of the pictures of the pies turned out. but here are some of me and my crazy family.

i never know what to title these things.

we just made egg nog. i am a little worried, but i think it should be okay.

on our way home from getting our egg nog supplies we stopped at a store near our house. i think it's called Tonilla. it's about 3 people who decided they wanted to open up a shop(2 blocks from our house) for independent local and national artists to sell their art. they also sell their own stuff, mostly clothes with social commentary screen printed on it. we loved the shop. they also have an art gallery and a small stage and they are wanting to open up a coffee/study space.
we liked talking to them a lot and are excited that we are so close to them.

are there any nice boys in denver that regan would like? i feel so bad for him(he would hate it if he knew i was saying that). he just doesn't have any good friends. i think it might be my fault. nobody wants to hang out with the married guy. everyone makes comments about how once you're married you never hang out, but i didn't know it was because no one wants to hang out with you anymore. it makes me more mad than anything. i know regan is so loyal to these people and they are far from worthy.

thanksgiving

merry thanksgiving.
i hope everyone felt thankful today. we spent the day with my parents and a lot of our greatest friends and it was fun. we had delicious food and dessert. i baked an apple pie, a pumpkin pie and 12 mini pumpkin pies. it was really fun. i referred to martha a great deal. yum! we'll be posting pictures soon of the pretty food.
we also put up christmas lights. i am SO excited. i don't remember ever having these as a kid, so now i get to experience them. yay! they look great and it makes me so happy.
now we're going to get warm in bed and watch the illutionist. we lead an extremely exciting life.

winter wonderland

it started snowing last night. we went on a hike in the snow and it was fun...

people who cry at movies

we watched ground truth last night. i cried a lot.

why are all my posts about niña?

niña had an allergic reaction last night to some unknown substance. her mouth is swollen and she's been vomiting a lot. here a picture, it's not too great, but you get the idea. so sad.
regan and i had a nice date last night. we had a delicious dinner and then went and saw the bourne ultimatum at the dollar theater, thank goodness for those places, huh? i really like all the bourne movies.
next week is thanksgiving. what's everyone doing?

give all your things away

except for your hiking gear...




anyone want a 4 month vacation? is it already monday?

bath time

i had to give nina a bath, because when we take her to the dog park she immediately gets on her back, so unlady-like. she was crazy dirty.
we went to warren miller's new film last night.
that was neat.
anyway, wanted to share cute pictures of ninners.

ninners!

isn't niña the cutest in the world. oh how i love her.
regan got hurt today, so we spent the day calling doctors and getting prescriptions filled and driving around trying to get some relief for him.
i missed school today, which i am not too upset about, hopefully, my grades won't reflect a day missed. regan makes fun of me b/c i am the kid who has to sit in the front row and hates missing a day and won't settle for anything less than an a. it's kind of silly.
regan's parents bought us a tempur-pedic bed yesterday. they've been spoiling us lately.

happy halloween!

at long last

oh my goodness. i'm bad at this. i'll get better once regan and i have our very own computer and internet.
we made it back safe and sound from the east and iowa. we have had two wedding parties(thank god those are over). we found jobs and started school and found a wonderful new friend named niña. she is the love of our lives. pictures are promised as soon as we enter the 21st century...

philly/camden

we made it east after a couple days in iowa and a couple days in chicago. it was a long drive, 4 of us in the truck for 14 hours. we all slept pretty good the day we got in. it's been somewhat cold here, i am dreaming of warm summer weather.
we are heading to nyc(regan's never been) tomorrow. then back to iowa. and finally home...we found a house, though no jobs yet. we love our house and are excited to move in and be settled in the states.
we'll send out the address when i remember it.
new numbers:
regan 303 8888552
libby 303 8882420

love.

fun fun fun

here are some pictures of our fun times on the beach.

plus, i am adding more pictures today!

friends, surf, sea lions

we are still at the beach, enjoying the mostly sunny days. our friends, who just climbed aconcagua(i tried to include a picture), sonny and bryce, are here to visit us and relax a little. it has been fun having the company. they will be leaving in a few days, though.
the boys rented surf boards yesterday, but the waves were so bad they we only in the water for about 1 hour. nobody surfed. it was really funny to watch though!
the other day we went to a port in mar del plata and saw where all of the sea lions rest. it smelled horrible. gagging horrible, but it was so fun to see them all lying around. they are so strange and interesting. and they make really funny noises. we got about 2 feet from them, guarded by a fence, because they are a bit dangerous.
we miss you all dearly.
love.

you are the proud parents:

of a f250, turbo diesel, veggie oil truck.

regan has been following this truck for about 2 weeks now and has loved it since the first day he saw it on craigslist.
the truck went for auction on ebay and regan won for $2600 less than the asking price on craigslist. i will try to put pictures up here.
hopefully, we will be seeing you all soon, after we return, FOR FREE. check out vegetable oil online if you don´t know why we´ll be driving for free.

love you

address number 2

the new pictures are up on shutterfly. there aren´t many, it goes so slow and the best ones aren´t up, but we make due.

also, we found out we have to be out of the apartment by the 1st of march, so no letters after the 15th of february, just to be safe.

after that we are unsure where we will be...maybe visiting some friends in buenos aires.

we are busy nursing our sunburns, but soon we´ll be back in the waves, having fun in the sun.

love
