In answer to a tag from Amber, I thought it would be fun to share six random things about myself that maybe a lot of people don't know. So, here it goes...
1. I have lived in four cities in 7 years of marriage (Provo, UT; Austin, TX; Corpus Christi, TX; and Aurora, CO).
2. I am very good at hula hooping and can keep the hoop up for a VERY long time! I know, what talent!
3. I used to assist in Lasik eye surgery and have had it done myself - I would highly recommend it!
4. One of my favorite movies is and always has been Mary Poppins.
5. I used to debate in high school and always wanted to go to law school. (I am not sure anymore since I put Lamont through law school).
6. I think blogging is thereputic for me -it is my time to unwind while the boys are down for naps.

Snowmass Village - Aspen
I had a two day conference this past week in Snowmass Village - a small ski resort village just outside of Aspen (tough assignment, I know). Melissa and the boys came along and had a great time soaking up the scenery and checking out all the shops and fun activities. We met up during my lunch breaks and one day took the ski lift to the top of the mountain. Snowmass was very pretty and the houses there were unbelievable. We had our heart set on one, but it was just a little pricey - $58 million. On our way home, we stopped and had dinner in Aspen, paid $5.12/gallon for gas, saw an abandoned mining town, and took an incredible scenic route over the Continental Divide, complete with hairpin curves and deer running across the highway. It was a quick trip, but a lot of fun.

Larsen Reunion - Pigeon Forge, TN
Over the week of the 4th of July we had our first Larsen reunion. It has become a lot harder for us to get together with Lamont's parents, siblings and their families, so this was a great way for us all to spend some quality time together. We flew into Nashville and then drove a couple hours to Pigeon Forge where the Smoky Mountains are located. They were very green and beautiful. I did not know that mountains could look like that in the central U.S. We had a wonderful time enjoying one another's company and seeing the sights in the area. Here are some pictures from our week:
