Thirty-One Days of Photos: Day 6

Today was Katelyn's birthday, so we went to a Mallards/Rush game to celebrate.


There was hardly anyone at the game, so we moved down and sat behind the Rush bench (since they're from the town where the interns go to school and we were subsequently cheering for them). It was fun sitting close to the action, and we had a good time even though the Rush lost.

At the end, one of the trainers gave me and Chris a puck, so today I'm posting two photos. :)


I've always wanted to get a baseball at a Rockies game, but I suppose this is the next best thing.

Thirty-One Days of Photos: Day 5

It was a data-collecting, number-inputting type of day.


Thanks to Google Analytics, gaining access to web statistics is fairly simple. It mostly becomes a matter of determining which stats you want or need to look at.

At the beginning of each month, I add data from the previous month to this lovely little spreadsheet I have open on my computer. The main things I track are visitor numbers, as well as referral sources. And Facebook data, of course. (Which if you haven't visited our Facebook page, you should!)

Alright, I admit this pic is fairly boring, but after the craziness of this weekend, I was feeling a little lackluster in my desire to find an amazing photo op. At the same time, each photo shows a different "view" from my life, and this one is no exception. However unfortunate it may be, some tasks are in fact boring and lackluster. (Though I will be honest, I kind of enjoy lining up all the numbers from month to month.)

Anyway, that's all I have for tonight. Thanks for keeping up with my photos and reading my posts!

Thirty-One Days of Photos: Day 4

I call this one "The View from the Front Row."


Our family always sits on the absolute front row in church. The obvious reason is because it's a lot easier to get up on the stage quickly if you're sitting right by it. I also think we sit there because all of the other seats are claimed. For some strange reason, no one wants the front.

It's actually pretty nice up there. If the sound goes out, you can still hear what's being said. You don't have to worry about anyone tall sitting in front of you and blocking your view. And it's like sitting court-side, you're close to all the action.

Today the Christmas season officially started at church. All the decorations are out, we sang Christmas songs, and the sermon was the first in a series called "An Angelic Christmas" (just in case the huge slide didn't give it away). The sermon was a great reminder to stay the course and not falter, even if life is challenging and confusing.

Oh, and just in case you don't know who that dashing gentleman is, that's my dad. Or Pastor Tom, as everyone else calls him. He's pretty cool, if I do say so myself. :)

Thirty-One Days of Photos: Day 3

Today... I saw my first live figure skating performance.


Yup, today I went to "Disney on Ice." It's a perfectly normal thing for a bunch of 20-something-year-olds to go to without children in tow. Or so we tried to convince ourselves, while wearing silly hipster glasses and fake mustaches. The kids liked it, they kept staring at us. :)

My favorite "scenes" from the performance were from The Lion King and The Little Mermaid. And this photo, taken at the end when all the Disney princesses made an appearance with their prince.
