Snow, with leaves on the trees....... As I was preparing for the storm that hit Colorado last night and today, I was remembering what it was like to have a large snowstorm.  You see, last year we did not even get any snow on the ground until mid-November and for the rest of the year, we hardly go...

Bleeding Black and Gold, life is Great...... Growing up here in the Rocky Mountains, I evolved into a Die Hard Colorado Buffalos fan.  Loving to play football and getting the opportunity to even wear the Black and Gold was amazing.  To that point I bleed that same Black and Gold.  Last Saturday I...

How do you let go when you are unsure?   Over the last 39 years of my life (40 next month) I have come to one known and realistic fact..........Life will always change.  Nothing is set in stone, and we have to deal with that.  Just because things have certain ways in the past, does not mean that ...

Is it just me, or .......... does the economic recovery seem like I am watching a race between tortoises?  When I was back in California, my aunt and uncle are Tortoise sitting!  Really????  Yes really.  I thought watching a pet was fun, but this is crazy!  In a fun way.  My boys loved going and ...

Going home is awesome...... Last week was definitely an emotional week.  Getting some closure to my mom's passing and spending time with my family.  But with that being said, What a great week!  I was able to give my boys the vacation that we started last year when mom was diagnosed with brain c...

A year....So fast, yet so slow........ A year ago today I was given the first of many challenges in my life.  My mom, who raised me by herself, lost the most courageous battle of her life.  She was defeated by geoblastoma brain cancer.  She lasted only 5 months from diagnosis, but it was a GREAT ...

Back to school....... It is so hard to believe that the summer has come and gone again.  This morning I got my boys ready for the first day of school.  Already?????  Back to School.... Last night I took them clothes shopping, got them back into their bedtime routine and stated the process again. ...

Like we need anymore stress............. As I was getting home from picking up my boys, I turned on the TV, and noticed that it looks like our government will get this thing passed and hopefully stabilize our fragile economy.  Stabilization in our economy.......Wow, isn't that an oxymoron right n...

A rollercoaster ride....... Wow, another day in this great financial world.  I had a  loan that was supposed to close in mid-June, and of course something popped up that causes me to scramble to make this close.  This is a house in a small town north of Denver, locateddowntown.  Everything is loo...

I love Central California...... Every year I try to make it make to my hometown in central California.  See the family and just relax.  Born and raised in Lompoc, California.  Not a real flashy town, known for many things.  I guess you could say that Lompoc is know for three pretty decent things....
