Love note to the natives.

Dear Coloradoans, 


we must clarify once and for all...it is


 "going/coming up to Fort Collins", 


"going/coming down Denver" that goes for Broomfield, Thornton, Westminster..ye catch my drift? , 


and therefore it also 


"going/ coming down to Colorado Springs" . 


Now find yourself a map, memorize, or don't travel anywhere, but get. it. right. 


Love, Jess 

birthday weekend - take one.

It has been a pretty fantastic Sunday not to mention yet another great weekend! That's two for April! All in all it has been a perfectly lazy fundaySunday, we got back home late this afternoon, took care of some cleaning and retired very lazily to our ghetto couch for the remainder of the day.
As a little disclaimer, it was a snapshot images kind of a weekend. I forgot my good camera, everywhere we went. That'll teach me to pack it neatly in the trunk of my car.

Nevertheless, Friday started off pretty ridiculously..(is that proper English?) with a 9 hour work training in Denver which served up a very enjoyable total of 4 hours rush hour traffic. For the tweeps among you, you will know this, however this pizza is just too deliciouslooking ( <-- now that's some proper English) not to share twice. N insisted we treat ourselves to Uncle's Pizza, the absolute best pizza in Fort Collins and most likely all of Colorado actually, and that's exactly what we did. YUM! 

I wore my favorite long sleeved light pink blouse, since the weather was a bit crummy with rain and wind, and finally got to wear my electric blue pants! I was very much in love with them.  

This was my friend about 2 hours into the surprise party for mysisterinlawsboyfriendsbirthday Trey..thank you mama-in-law for mixing me this incredible Bloody Mary :) again..too good not to share. 

The only other picture I managed to snap all afternoon and night. After family, friends, and Mary's we split up and N and I went back to his parents' where we of course enjoyed too much wine and a delicious pasta dinner my mama just happened to whip up. 

I loove being married into an Italian family :))

Come fundaySunday...

What a face to wake up to :) 

It's always more fun to lounge away a Sunday in your boyfriend's clothes. 

Ready to head back home. 

Let the first birthday celebration weekend commence! Next week it will be N's turn.

Which means I've got a busy week ahead of me :) It feel so good to be 

able to see family so often :) it's definitely been a treat. 

Wishing you all a great start to the week,

fill in the blanks.

It's Lauren's blanks! Make sure to go visit her if you'd like to play along. 

1.  Today is a good day because   I'm playing blanks for the first time in aages! And at 5pm I will be saying hellooooo weekend of fun #2 this month. As I like to say...hollaaaaa! :) 

2.   The best thing I did all week was   having a mother daughter day my mamacita on Monday :) it was perfect ♥ 

3.  The current weather is     Colorado sunshine       and it makes me feel     like Little Ms Sunshine.

4. The best thing about spring is    the way weather, nature, and sunshine can make you feel literally hugged and awakened from the inside. Goodbye winter bluuues. 

5. A fashion trend that I'm dying to try out for spring is  colored pants!! Which I will be doing this very coming Saturday - can't wait for my electric blue skinnies! 

6. A person who made me smile this week was   my team members at work :) it feels great to start to have real connections with people I see everyday again and to slowly not feel like the new girl anymore. Great time ZooeyD for coming up with your little "its Jess" jingle..my team has been making it my theme song for weeks! 

7.  The most delicious thing I ate all week was   Uncle Tony's Easter Sunday haaaam. mmhhh..now I'm drooling. 

I hope you all have a great weekend. I can't wait to share all the fun with you next week.
