weekend recap

i know i'm doing a weekend recap on the following friday but i'm okay with that :)

 last thursday i went to visit friends and their 5 day old baby. i totally love the idea of "here is dinner now let me hold your baby"; so after my friend alyssa and i handed off salmon, potatoes, and asparagus (alyssa did it all; i take no credit!), i got to spend some quality time with teddy. and oh my goodness, teddy is adorable and i am so in love already. 

i can't wait to watch teddy grow up!

on friday, our good friend steve came into town. steve and j went to high school together. steve and his wife, celeste, lived in denver for 7 years before moving back to pittsburgh last spring. celeste and i became quick friends when i moved here and we spent pretty much every weekend with them before they moved home. we miss them terribly, so it was great having steve here for a few days.

the boys went skiing on friday at copper mountain while poor little me had to work. while i waited for their return from the mountains on friday evening, i stopped for a quick beer with some teacher friends after school. we went to brewery rickoli and it was great! they allow dogs, and we are always on the hunt for dog friendly places. 

nothing says "weekend" like a beer before 4 o'clock on a friday!

on friday night we met up with friends at mile high spirits; a small batch distillery in an up and coming neighborhood (people here in denver use "up and coming" to describe neighborhoods that are "kinda sketchy but will probably be really cool in a few years"). they only serve the liquor they distill and you chose what you want it mixed with.  i recommend the moscow mules! although i must admit, the highlight of this night for me was finding out who the next bachelorette is because a friend of a friend (isn't it always?) is going to be on the season. can't wait!

on saturday we went on a nice hike at eldorado canyon state park.  we've been a few times and it's always beautiful.

i asked j to buy me this red house. he said no. 

while we spent the weekend drinking together, poor celeste was back in PA painting their newly purchased home. she came up with the idea for baby h's room all on her own and i LOVE it. seriously, no pinterest inspiration at all. she rocks.

isn't it great for a little boy?!

have a great friday!
