Back From Denver Means Back To Work

Well, I happily survived my trip to Denver. The flight there was great thanks to good weather, hardly any turbulence, valium and several glasses of free wine. I got an unexpected upgrade to first class, which I've never flown in before, and it was kind of hard to be nervous when there was a one year old little girl sitting next to me, smiling the whole time. I wasn't too sure the valium was working, I was still a bit edgy but nothing major, but I wasn't the blubbering idiot that everyone thought I would be after taking one. At one point however, I could no longer feel my toes, so I knew it must've kicked in.
Denver was nice, not what I expected. I left Boise in a snowstorm and when I arrived in Denver it was sunny and 60 degrees - an flat. I expected trees and snow capped mountains and instead arrived in a place that looked much like Boise. It was a nice city, and due to all the places that we had to be while there, I got to see a lot of it. I had fun with my co-workers and we managed to not kill each other, so that was a definate bonus.
Now that I'm home we have another couple of weekends before we go on vacation and lots and lots of work to do before then. This weekend we (mostly Ryker) rebuilt our pasture fence. The colts had pretty much laid waste to it last summer trying to get the goodies in my garden and it was in dire need of repair. By the end of the week we need to have the steer pen torn down so that it can be rebuilt as well. We were lucky to keep the 10 steers we had last year in it - there's no way in hell we'd be able to keep 25 in there without a major catastrophe.
For those of you who haven't seen it - I got the website up and running. It's www.luckystrykearena.com . I'm pretty proud of it and amazingly enough, it's had 475 hits as of this evening. Not sure who's looking, but I hope they continue to do so.
****Big news**** Coby and Stephanie are having TWINS!!! We are so excited for them. I guess if you're gonna do it - you may as well get it all out of the way at once! It's very cool. Also, Riley and Sunni were married on the 7th of March. Amanda has some really cute pictures of the wedding and they let Kai'le be a flower girl.
We love hearing from you, so leave comments if you want. We love and miss everyone!!!
