Random Updates from Wash Park

Hey,

I was reminded recently that I have been neglecting my blog.  Which made me happy because that means people actually are reading it!! YAY.  I've been pretty busy lately.  I may need to give you the bulleted list update.
  • First, I have been playing Foster the People Pumped up Kicks on repeat for days now.  It's been a while that I've been really obsessed with a song.  And I know it may be considered "old" at this point, but oh well.  I'm not sick of it yet.  However, i should move on soon.
  • Last week we had FIRST SNOW!!!  YAY.  It was awesome.  I did quite a bit of posting on facebook about my love for snow.  The park was gorgeous.  Andy loved it.  Overall, a better than expected first snow expierence.  Except that a branch did fall on my car and turns out it did cause damage and i have a $500 deductable.  *sigh. 
  • This week we are getting Second Snow, but I am headed to Philly for 2 short nights and 2 days in the office.  Probably the next week as well.  Work stuff.
  • Brendan quit his job last week and is starting Healey Insurance Group, LLC...an independent insurance agency.  It is our family business in its infancy.  Very exciting.  Want it to get off the ground before we go having any kids or anything.  I will be doing the bookkepping and probably a lot of the marketing.  Excited about that.  You will want to go through HIG for your home/auto insurance.  And if you happen to own a business, that too!  We can sell to almost all the states, so even if you don't live in CO (which you probably don't), you can still go through us.  Stay tuned for more info.
  • Brendan's friend Chris came to town, and we went out with him and his friend Vinny who had a wife Elizabeth.  Elizabeth is a photographer. YAY.  Love photographers.  She was looking for models to take some creative pics for her portfolio.  And well...I like to play model.  It was really fun and we took lots of types of pics that I've never taken before.  Not my usual cheesy grin, but lots of serious stuff.  One outfit we did was vintage bride type.  See two pics below.  I love them.  There are some other really cool shots too.  I hope I can work with her again!!!!
  • Friday we went to a party hosted by one of my co-workers for her birthday.  It was really fun and we met a really cool couple.  I love going out on friday nights because the weekend feels so much longer.  Then Saturday we went to Boulder to meet Brendan's cousin, aunt and great aunt.  That was really fun and Boulder is pretty cool.  LOVE the mountains right there ontop of hte city.
  • Not this weekend, but next week Andrea and Joce are coming to visit!!!  YAY.  Really excited because we will go hiking in the mountains and go out and do lots of fun stuff.  Excited to show off my neighborhood and Wash Park.  Trying to firgure out where to eat and where to hike.
Ok I think that's all i have to update with right now.  Key takeaway - ask me about Healey Insurance Group and how you can get a quote on your home/auto insurance that could be cheaper that you're currently paying.  :)  And prepare yourself for hearing about HIG a lot.  Anybody want to make us a logo?  Andrea?
