December in Arizona

At the end of last December, Brian and I went to Arizona for our friends' wedding. Here are a few pictures that make me smile.

When we got to Arizona, we rented a car. Thanks to some fast help from the groom, Bobby, and his brother Billy, we have a new addiction: In-N-Out burgers:

Does it get more delicious then this?

Besides eating, we visited the Botanical Garden with our friend, Jorge. It was quite pretty:

There were saguaros EVERYWHERE.  Who knew? This is a saguaro:

The night before the wedding, we waited with the groom for his formal invite to the mehndi ceremony at the bride's house. The invite arrived with gifts, including Bobby's shoes for the wedding. The look on his face cracks me up:

At the bride's house that night, the guys had a good time:

The next day at the wedding, here I am with Tanya, trying to figure out what the ceremony will include so I don't look like a complete fool:

We had a whole lot of fun at their wedding in Arizona. Congrats, Bobby and Sabina!

Denver Trip Photos

Here are some of my favorite pics from our trip to Denver back in October. We went for my birthday. It was 10-10-10 and we figured that was cause for a good celebration.

Here's Brian at our hotel, the Brown Palace. That's a stained glass ceiling above him. The hotel was over 100 years old:

Here is a view of the lobby from above. They were serving afternoon tea:

Outdoor brewing at the Great Divide Brewery in Denver:

We took a brewery tour and this was out favorite place.  We still hunt for Great Divide's raspberry ale.

Here is Brian at Casa Bonita, made famous in an episode of South Park:

Here I am ("More sopapillas, please!"):

We drove up into the mountains one day. It was October and it was snowing up there. It was beautiful. My camera batteries died so most of it is just a memory now. Here I am up in the mountains:

Great trip and good times. 

Sculpture Garden

Here are some pictures from when Brian, Nicole and I went to the sculpture garden in Minneapolis. Here is a classic shot of the Spoonbridge and Cherry:

 Here is Brian being...well...Brian:

Here we are from the deck of the Walker:

Good times in the Minne-apple.

I'm Back

I'm back from my hiatus. What have I been doing with my time? Who knows. I don't know where the past few months have gone.

Since it has been so long and I don't feel like trying to fill the gap of time with explanations of where I've been, I'll just keep this simple.  I'm in Minnesota. Love it here. Got a job writing website copy for law firms. It's right up my alley. Life is awesome all-around.

I got a new digital camera, so I've been pictures like crazy in my precious, work-free hours. So, I thought it best to start my return to blogging with one of my typical Brian and Leela napping photos:

Aren't they cute? I think so.

Goodbye, Brooklyn

Tried to post this yesterday.  This is the Williamsburg bridge.
