From Mike:
This past week or so has been full of birthday celebration! It all started with our trip to Las Vegas. We got to the airport on Friday afternoon and promptly ran into our travelling companions: Beth, Carter, Jamila and James. The fun had begun. We spent the time waiting for the plane to board chatting about our plans for lounging by the pool and winning the jackpot, and were soon on our way to see the bright lights of the Las Vegas Strip. We arrived around dusk, got a couple of taxis to our hotel, and met up with our fifth and final Vegas buddy, Mike, who had arrived earlier that day. Poor Mike was already a little bitter, having already handed over a large portion of his gambling budget to the various casinos around town. Despite that, we were all ready for a night on the town.
We checked into our (dated) hotel room at the Tropicana and promptly set out towards our first stop of the evening: the MGM Grand Casino. We made a quick stop by the bar for a drink, and roamed between the slot machines and card tables until we found a spot at one of the blackjack tables. Kelly spent a few minutes playing, while I eyed the roulette table across the way. After our luck ran out, we decided to tempt our fates in a different locale, so we headed to the Planet Hollywood. We spent some time playing the slot machines and many of us soon decided to give up gambling for the night and visit a nightclub. So we stopped at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone because it was Ladies’ Night and they got free drinks. It was a nice, warm evening, so we sat out on the patio soaking up the neon light, chatting, and listening to people attempt to sing karaoke. After awhile we were all getting tired and hungry, so we made our way back down the Strip, stopping by the Paris, Bellagio, and Monte Carlo hotels on the way, and eventually landed in the Tropicana’s all-night restaurant for a midnight snack of nachos and grilled cheese. We managed to make it to bed, exhausted and bleary-eyed, around 4am.
We began the next day relaxing by the hotel’s massive 5-acre pool. We soaked up the hot sun while reading, snacking, sipping pina coladas and daquiris, and taking quick dips in the water to cool off. We tried to take advantage of the swim-up blackjack tables, but they were full, so we were content to return to our lounge chairs. After spending a few hours outside, it was time to explore more of the Strip. We all got cleaned up, pressed, and dressed, and took a taxi to the Treasure Island Casino in search of the city’s best dinner buffet. The cabbie recommended the buffet at the Wynn Hotel, so that’s where we headed next. We entered the Wynn and wandered through a corridor full of high-end stores, through the lavish casino, to the buffet. We stood in line for about 45 minutes and by the time we got to the food, we were ravenous. We piled our plates high with, among other things, crab legs, prime rib, lamb, veal rib tips, shrimp, sushi, and ceviche, and devoured it until we were ready to burst. Did I mention that the buffet also had an entire room devoted to desserts? This glorious addition to the meal had pretty much every dessert you could dream of, including: strawberry shortcake, crème brulee, mint chocolate mousse, pudding, ice cream, a crepe station, and about 20 others that have names that I can’t pronounce. We all heaved our bellies away from the table, raving that we had never eaten so much amazing food in one sitting. It was definitely a major highlight of the trip.
After dinner we wandered around the casino, walked to the adjacent Encore hotel, and eventually made our way back to Treasure Island in time for their famed live outdoor pirate show, complete with dancing sirens, scurvy pirates, and lots of fire. It was great, but short-lived, and we were soon making our way through the dense crowd back into the casino. We visited three more hotels and casinos before returning to ours: the Venetian, the Palazzo, and finally New York New York. We later found out that Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher and a number of other celebs were at the Tao Nightclub in the Venetian to celebrate Rumer Willis’ 21st birthday. We didn’t see anyone famous, but I managed to win back a lot of the money I had lost the previous day; however the poor birthday girl wasn’t so lucky.
The next day Kelly, Carter and I woke up in time to take advantage of the breakfast buffet at our hotel. It couldn’t compare to the Wynn, but we left full and satisfied, and returned to our room to pack and check out. Our flight didn’t leave until 6 that evening, so we had time to explore. We walked across the Strip through the Excalibur to the Luxor hotel. After stopping in a couple of shops and winning a few rounds of roulette, we decided to brave the 100-degree heat and walk to the Bellagio to catch a glimpse of their famous fountain show. We entered the welcomed air conditioning in the hotel and had a few minutes to kill before the next fountain show, so we walked around the hotel’s atrium which was decorated with sculptures made from fresh flowers, jumping fountains, and even had a small aviary full of colorful birds. Afterwards, we grabbed a drink at the bar and sat and watched golf, played video poker, and headed outside in time for the show. After a delightful display of dancing streams of water, we returned to the hotel to pick up our bags and head to the airport, but not before making a quick stop by In-N-Out to grab dinner, which was deliciously artery-clogging.
The Tuesday night after we got back from Vegas, we drove up to Morrison to meet up with Carter and his friend Kerri for dinner. We initially intended to go to Film on the Rocks afterward, but the idea of getting home at 1am on a work night dissuaded us. We sat on the roof of the Morrison Inn and enjoyed Mexican food until our bellies were full, and then headed home. Wednesday night was our last regular-season kickball game. Despite playing against the worst team in the league, we only managed to tie them, 10-10. However, everyone makes it into at least one playoff game, so we’re not done yet!
Thursday was Kelly’s birthday, so she took the day off and celebrated by sleeping in, getting a 90-minute massage, having lunch with her mom, and going out for dinner at Sushi Zan Mai with me, my parents, and Beth. Unfortunately, I had to work that day, but I did manage to put together a delicious home-made ice cream cake before heading to the restaurant. After stuffing our faces full of delicious sushi we all came back to the house to meet up with Beth’s parents, open gifts, and enjoy the cake. Friday after work we met up with a group of friends for happy hour at the Downtown Tavern and then went to the Rockies game afterwards. Even though they lost to the Giants, we all had a great time.
Saturday was spent preparing for Kelly’s birthday party that evening. We decided it would be fun to have a picnic in the park, complete with food, games, and beer. So we packed the coolers, grabbed the lawn games, and headed to Washington Park in Denver. When we arrived, we found a nice shady spot under a large tree and set up camp. After people started arriving, we ate and played several rousing games of bocce ball, badminton, volleyball, and ladderball, and before we knew it, the sun was setting. We scrambled to get everything packed up and put into the car before we couldn’t see anymore, then we all drove to the Wash Park Tavern for a few drinks, some lively conversation, and to catch the end of the Broncos’ and Rockies’ games. Overall, it was a fun end to a busy week, and the birthday girl said it was one of the best birthdays she had ever had!
Sunday morning we decided to try a new church that Kelly’s co-worker attends. It’s called Northern Hills and it’s only 15 minutes away from our house! The church holds two services simultaneously; one being more edgy than the other. We decided to try the edgy one this week, so we ventured into what is appropriately referred to as “the garage,” and found a couple of open seats. The worship service was definitely edgy and seemed more like a rock concert than anything, but the band had a lot of talent and we were both impressed. The speaker was articulate and genuine, and his sermon was peppered with bible passages and sound theological teachings, and Kelly and I left with every intention of returning soon. That afternoon Kelly had a hair appointment with my sister, so I went with her to my parent’s house, hung out, and watched as Kelly went from being a blonde to a brunette in a matter of hours. Afterwards we drove to the Murphy’s to celebrate Cindy’s birthday. Yesterday was Kelly’s mom’s birthday, so we celebrated by first going to Sharon’s house to open gifts, then going to dinner at Rock Bottom Brewery.
Whew, that’s it! Until next time!

DC to Vegas
From Kelly:
Well, as Mike mentioned I was in the DC area last week for a proposal writing and managing class. The class itself was good and I actually did learn alot. I thought it was pretty funny though that since I didn't talk much everyone in the class thought of me as "so quiet and soft spoken"-- I wouldn't say that's true at all! But, it was fun to play the part for awhile. One of the guys in my class was Clinton's helicopter pilot while he was in office, so that was pretty cool. He couldn't tell us much but he a few stories to share, including landing in Fenway Park and how the fuel for all the jets is super special and highly protected and can only come from one specific top secret place.
The main fun while I was there was hanging out the DC-ers, namely Emily, Nathan, Mike and Vince. On Tuesday night Nathan cooked us a yummy tilapia dinner, Wednesday we went out to a place called Cantina Marina that was right on the Potomac River, and Thursday I had dinner at Mexicali Blues with Mike and Emma. Friday night we participated in my favorite DC activity-- Jazz in the Garden! This is where you set up a blanket in the sculpture garden and they have a jazz band and serve sangria and it's just a generally wonderful time of socializing and enjoying the summertime. That was awesome! On Saturday we headed out to brunch and checked out the Eastern Market, which was a wonderful outdoor shopping area where I got a necklace, which I am quite fond of. I headed home that afternoon and was happy to spend the rest of the evening relaxing with Mike.
This week has been pretty standard. We are having our annual manager's meetings at work and so our marketing group has been doing a lot of work to get things set up for those. Monday night Matt and I reinstated our Monday sushi tradition. Tuesday night was Bryan's birthday party for the family at Cinzetti's. Tony was in town from SF, so was able to join us, which was great since everyone hadn't seen him in awhile. Wednesday night we had a kickball game that we lost miserably. It's really hard because so many people from our team are gone every week that I feel we are always "short staffed", which is annoying. Yesterday I had to work super late because of an internal tradeshow we put on, but it went well so it was worth it. And tonight we leave for Vegas!!!! We are going with a few other friends and it's my first time to Vegas since I turned 21, so I'm really excited to check it out.
I think you are all caught up, now it's your turn to let us know what's been going on with you!

Slacking in the Summer
From Mike:
Well, it’s been a month since our last blog. I should have updated this thing two weeks ago, but for some reason I just haven’t gotten around to it. So you’re in for a long one…lucky you! Where do I start? Ah yes, July…
The weekend after I arrived back from DC, we drove up to Rocky Mountain National Park with a group of friends and went camping. It was a great time of fun and relaxation as Kelly, Beth, Carter, Amy, Jamila, James, James’ brother Tyler, and I sat around the campfire drinking beer, roasting marshmallows, telling scary stories, playing Catch Phrase, and trying not to laugh so loud as to draw attention from the campsite warden. The next morning we went for a short hike up to one of the many subalpine lakes in the park and made our way home afterward.
The following Wednesday was our third kickball game of the season. This is our second year being captains of our team, Just for Kicks. This year I got a bunch of co-workers to join and, despite our lack of skill, we have a great time getting outside and playing this underappreciated elementary school pastime. Thursday we drove up to Adam and Carolyn’s house to celebrate Brianna’s 2nd birthday. It’s amazing to realize she’s that old already! Kelly and I have loved watching her grow and develop her adorable personality. As Kelly constantly reminds me, she’s not a baby anymore…she’s a little girl!
The next day we flew to California for Ben and Nicole’s wedding. We flew into San Francisco, rented a car, and drove south to our hotel in San Jose. Kelly, Nathan and I awoke the next day ready to do a little wine-tasting. So we mapped out a few vineyards and were off. Our first stop, J Lohr, wasn’t actually a vineyard but they had a tasting room full of their wines, and that’s all we really cared about. They suggested a few other vineyards so we forwent our itinerary and decided to wing it. Our next stop took us up a winding road to Ridge Vineyards. This scenic winery sits atop one of the many hills in area and had incredible views of the valley to the east. Our third stop was to Cooper-Garrod Vineyards. This tasting room was on a large estate among several horse stables. Among the fields of grape vines were tables of people picnicking and fenced yards for horseback riding. On our way back to the car, Kelly got a chance to pet one of the horses who happened to be getting a bath. Our fourth and final vineyard was the Chateau Masson Mountain Winery. We were actually struggling to find the Cinnabar Winery when we stumbled upon this one. This winery is equipped with an outdoor amphitheater and also had great views of the valley to the east. Unfortunately their wine tasting was not free, so we didn’t spend much time here. We drove back into town, grabbed a late lunch at In-n-Out, and went back to the hotel to get ready for the wedding.
The wedding was at a vineyard in San Martin called Clos LaChance, (pronounced Kloe Luh-Shawnce for all you non-French-speaking readers) and was the most picturesque wedding we had ever been to! The ceremony was held outside on the grass facing blue sky, rolling hills, and grapevines as far as the eye could see…gorgeous! There was a 90-minute cocktail hour immediately after the ceremony in the Mulberry grove adjacent to the lawn. We sipped sangria and sampled fancy hors d’ oeuvres while chatting with the other guests and waiting for the newlyweds to finish their picture-taking session. Afterwards we all moved up to the winery’s large, ornately-decorated, stone patio for a delicious lamb dinner. (Kelly had the halibut) Of course, no wedding is complete without a little dancing, and apparently no wedding I go to is complete without me doing the Thriller dance, so I graciously stepped up and performed my rendition of MJ’s classic at the behest of the bride. This time was a little different though, because the DJs brought a full Michael Jackson costume! Although after closer examination of the nappy wig, I only had the courage to wear the sequined jacket. Overall it was a great night and we had a great time celebrating with the bride and groom.
The following day we drove back up to San Francisco to visit Tony and his sister Jamie. We arrived in town and Kelly directed me to Lombard Street, aka the most crooked street in the world. We then drove to Tony’s apartment in The Haight, met his charming girlfriend, Linda, and then drove to a nearby park for a free concert put on by the San Francisco Orchestra. That evening we picked up Jamie and Linda and went to Nettie’s Crab Shack for dinner were I enjoyed my very first whole-crab dinner! At first I was a little creeped out when they brought my crab and in its claw was the hammer I would be using to crack its body into little pieces. But I got over it and before long was happily devouring his innards with butter and a side of corn. Tony had to work the next day so Kelly and I went to Pier 39, saw the sea lions, ate clam chowder at a seaside restaurant, took a boat tour under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz, bought some chocolate at Ghirardelli Square, gaped at the crazy people swimming in the freezing bay waters, and laughed at all the tourists wearing sweatshirts that were obviously purchased at a local souvenir shop. For those of you who haven’t been yet, San Francisco is deceivingly cold so bundle up! That evening we went to one of Tony’s favorite restaurants for dinner called Magnolia and spent the rest of the evening playing guitar hero. The next morning we ate a delectable breakfast at Mama’s on Washington Square - one of the city’s most popular brunch restaurants. Then, we rushed to the airport and hopped on our plane back home.
We went camping with Beth, Tyler, James and Jamila the following Friday. This time we were in Peaceful Valley at Camp Dick. As usual, we enjoyed our time around the campfire eating gooey s’mores and answering get-to-know-you questions that Kelly had brought. The next morning we all went for a hike. After awhile Beth, Tyler, James and Jamila had to get home so Kelly and I went on ahead in search of an elusive reservoir that we saw on the trailhead map when we set out. After walking for two hours with no reservoir in sight, we turned around and came back to the campsite, utterly defeated. By that time it had started to sprinkle, so we ate a quick lunch and took a nap in the tent and waited for the rain to pass. Unfortunately the rain did not stop, so Kelly and I decided to come home a day early and went to a new BBQ place by our house. That Sunday we had dinner with Jeff and Renae Ramsey, one of the families we support through the Campus Crusade for Christ Ministry. We had never met them before, so it was great to meet them and get to know them better.
The following Wednesday Kelly, Beth, Carter and I went to the Counting Crows concert at Red Rocks. Although it was raining pretty much the entire time, it was a great show. They played with Augustana and instead of the usual format of having an opener and then the headliner, they played several songs together the whole time. Unfortunately, the ride home was not much fun. We ran out of gas on the exit ramp from eastbound I-70 onto southbound I-25 and were stuck in a precarious, and very dangerous spot in the road. After several calls to the police, the insurance company, and a tow company, we safely got the car to a gas station and all was well. However we didn’t get home that night until after 1am and were a bit tired the next day.
Last Saturday the non-profit organization I am involved with, Built on the Rock Education, had a meet-and-greet BBQ where we got a chance to introduce ourselves to the community, our friends, and our family and tell them about our vision for the organization. It was a great time of eating and playing games and although it wasn’t an official fundraiser, we got a lot of financial support to help us get going and brings us closer to our goal of building a school in Kenya. Praise God!
This week Kelly is in DC for a training class, so I have temporarily reverted to bachelorhood. She seems to be having a great time there visiting friends and getting pampered with a myriad of nice dinners and hotel amenities. Despite the amount of video-game playing I’m getting in, I’m excited for her to come home tomorrow.
Whew, you made it! It was a long journey, but it’s over now. Until next time!
