Always tough to find good content during this time of year. Jen and I watched the Super Bowl, while sis opened her apartment up for an Opening Ceremony party with her friends. Andrew’s team won Knowledge Bowl!!! Attended an event in support of the GPO while Jen was celebrating Sarah’s birthday in Estes. Bella and I were treated to a beautiful sunrise on our morning walk (and a peacock on the roof!).
Just vibing, making big plans, and voting on big things. Love our Greeley family, and miss SBX and Noah everyday. Weekend was busy, with a VIP reception for the Creative Arts District, a UNC Men’s home game, and Stars and Stripes Forever with OUR GPO. Sunday was a family meal day downtown at Andrew and Ari’s favorite place and a small fundraiser at 477 for W.H.A.L.E. Big things on the Council docket. Also a few catch-up photos from the Stampede Concert announcement party a few weeks ago.
One month of 2026 down, 11 to go. Fairly typical week. Sadness in Colorado as the Broncos fell 10-7 in the AFC Championship. Longer than expected work session on Tuesday, running a little over 2 1/2 hours. Stopped in at a “NO ON 2A” event. Court side to see the UNC Men beat Idaho. Some love from the ALLO Facebook page. Summer concert season is heating up with the announcement that the Dave Matthews Band will stop in Colorado!
It sure was nice to get out of town after a long week and celebrate not 1, but 2 friends birthdays. Gathered in Ft. Collins for dinner then walked over to the Park Blocks for mini-golf! Fun night celebrating Bryan and Nate, losing at both golf and pop-a-shot, and being surrounded by laughs and stories. Cheers to the year ahead for both of you!
Jumped right back into the action this week, with a variety of personal, professional, and “side-hustle” activities. My blood clot came back with a vengeance during the flights, so another ultrasound and back on blood thinners. But why let that slow me down? Attended the BizWest forum, Rotary, a few catch up pictures from the Greeley Mob Mixer, and AIMS days. I was also able to participate in a ride-along with Greeley Police. We once again checked out some of the homeless encampments, scouted out some notorious hotbeds of shady activities, and learned a lot about a day in an officers life. I was also honored to present one of the awards at the annual Success in 6 gala for leaders and educators in District 6. And finally, I wasn’t the only one with a medical problem this week, as Nathanael earned a trip the the ER and 5 stitches in his forheard after tripping in Ollie and crashing into the corner of the refrigerator.
