COLOR TREND 2009

Just a few color boards that I have been working on at work.

Sophia, Bulgaria

Ryan says that this is Bulgaria's version of The Tire Source!

Almost every meal in Bulgaria is eaten out of these clay pots. The fill it with a meat of their choice and then they add veggie and top it off with an egg and bake.

I thought this sign was very interesting and considering my love of ice cream, I don't think that Bulgaria is the place for me! :)

Formerly communist suburbs.

Ryan has been very lucky to be able to travel to many foreign countries for his job at Johnson Controls. Most recently he was sent to Bulgaria. He was there from February 13th and returned home on February 20. Here are a few pictures he took while over there.

OUTLAWS!

Kind of blurry, but this is the dining room. :)

Ryan and Rebekah ~ Year 1901

On our most recent trip out to Colorado, Ryan took me back to a little ole restaurant called Casa Bonita. This is QUITE an experience I must admit. It is very hard to explain this place to other people, but all I can say is that if you ever travel out to Colorado, you REALLY should go there! :)
While there Ryan and I decided to have a western picture taken of ourselves, just like they do at amusement parks!

Homemade Tornado!

Ryan and I spent the Christmas holidays back in his hometown of Arvada, Colorado. Unfortunately Ryan got sick on his first day there and we spent most of the trip at the house. While I used this time to catch up on some reading, Ryan and his dad decided that this would be a great time to make there very own TORNADO! :)

RockBand Fun!

The Lock Christmas was held at our house this year, and the kids ( and some adults ) spent much of the time playing with Uncle Ryan's Rock Band! :)

Roscoe the Reindeer?

I have no child yet to dress up, so don't judge me!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

I HAD to get this ornament, first of all it's a high heel shoe, second of all, it's gold! Christmas '06

I try to find cute little ornaments of dogs, you know, for Roscoe! Christmas '07

No words needed to explain this one! :) Christmas '05

Ah yes, in memory of our Honeymoon in Hawaii! Snorkeling was SO much fun! Christmas '08

I collect snowman ornaments, this cutie is one of many! Christmas '03

My mom bought me a nutcracker one year, I now have SIX, a collection starting perhaps!?

THE TREE! :)

It's that time of year again! Time to put up the Christmas tree! There is just something so magical about a tree decorated with lights and special ornaments that puts a huge smile on my face! I love turning all the other lights down low and just sitting by the tree with either hot cocoa or tea ( or maybe a little Baileys on ice! :D ), I think I could stare at it for hours if I didn't have a million others thing to this time of year! I enjoy that almost all of the ornaments have a memory attached to each one of them, and every time you pull it out the box, you are flooded with all those special moments.
