My Birthday Celebrations

For my 28th birthday my awesome husband took me out to some of the best Indian food I think I've ever eaten! It was a little restaurant downtown with just the perfect "charm" and fabulous food. We haven't eaten Indian food since we've been here and boy have I been craving it! Then, after dinner we went to the Mile High Grand Prix of equestrian show-jumping. I was very bummed that even though I remembered to bring the camera, it was basically out of batteries! It's ok though because the lighting was so poor that the pictures we did get didn't really come out anyways. I'm posting the one decent picture of the whole layout of the course and you can even see some blurs of horses in there if you look hard enough!

I also wanted to post another update of the "Jenna belly profile". I am going to try and post updates once a month - my reminder will be my doctor's visits. So the 2nd visit to the dr was last week and everything is coming along just dandily (I have no idea if that's a word...). I think you will all be able to see that surely I am actually pregnant from this picture. It's looking really, really obvious to me now. Which is funny because as I told the dr, I hardly even feel pregnant now, but you can really see it! I guess that is the joy of the 2nd trimester - feeling good and starting to show.

Double Trouble

This Halloween we had a "mandatory" dress-up day at work. A last minute idea led to the costume below:



Daniel Libeskind is the architect of the new Denver Art Museum, which just opened this month. I happen to have noticed a while back that he's probably the only famous architect I could pull off in a costume. Given that the museum just opened, I decided if I'm ever going to dress up as him for Halloween it would have to be this year. Since I work in an architecture office, everyone knows what the guy looks like. I don't think it would have worked anywhere else... Anyway, i got a prize for "best use of 15 minutes of fame" - a $15 gift card with a $6 costume (blazer from the thrift store and grey hair spray - exaggerated glasses were homemade)

Plus I kept giving unsolicited advice all day to the designer who's working on the Justice Center... telling him to make it "pointier" (the art museum is quite pointy en paarts). Funnier was the fact that the designer was also wearing all black that day, and another guy from our office dressed up as him... wearing all black...
