Annual Christmas Picture
Merry Christmas From the Bierdeman's!
Don't we look snazzy?
This year, we went up to the Big Thompson Canyon to take our Christmas shots, as it was snowy there, not to mention gorgeous. There was no snow left in Greeley, and we didn't want to take the same old Christmas shot in front of or in back of our house!
It's one of the many benefits of living in Colorado. We just need to drive a few minutes up in to the mountains, and we can find completely different weather. In fact, we can find snow almost any time of the year in certain areas! Plus, it's just beautiful country...
Janelle wanted me to try out a cowboy hat.Look who lost 40 lbs this year!
Aloha...
Life after more than 2 months straight of traveling for work
Ahhhh...
It's so good to be home again! For more than three nights in a row!
That's right, for more than 2 months straight, September 11-November 16, I was almost continuously traveling for work. Never once did I have the chance to stay at home for more than 3 nights in a row. It was fun, but it was work. And it was a lot of time away from my friends and family.
I traveled to South Dakota, New York City, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and all over western Colorado including Aspen, Telluride, Durango, Steamboat Springs, and Vail. I have enough hotel shampoos and lotions under my sink now to fill a bathtub. In fact, if you're a guest at our household, you get your pick of dozens of varieties of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, and mouthwash!
I am glad it's done for the time being. I couldn't possibly travel like that all year-round. Maybe if I was single and had no friends or family. But what kind of life would that be?
The best thing about all the travel is the fact that it helps me appreciate home.

Long time, no see
Here it goes...
Another really long, long time without a post on blogger.
I don't wanna apologize, as I feel as though that would get me nowhere.
Plus, why should I apologize? I never promised to write every other day, over even every three weeks! You should be glad I ever post at all!
Merry Christmas.

"Would you like to dance?" Part 2
We were warmly welcomed at the family reunion we semi-crashed and enjoyed pulled pork sandwiches and burgers with the townspeople. When the sun had set the party had barely begun. Bands designated "local favorites" tuned up, the dance floor was covered in sand, and the crowd began to move. Although unfamiliar with the country tunes being performed we joined in the gaeity using our most impressive dance move, "the pretzel!" (Thank you Becca!)
However, we were quickly outdone by the many talented teens pretzeling country western style around us-- girls were fairly flinging about! Impressed by the absence of the more well-known trend- bumping and grinding- we were further floored when an unknown youth in flannel politely asked a member of our party for her hand on the dance floor. She accepted and left us all giggling and gaping in their wake. We finished up our time in Sudoku, I mean Kadoka, breakfasting with our friends at the local Best Western with promises to see one another again soon.
"Would you like to Dance?" Part 1
This summer, Chris and I had the priviledge of visiting South Dakota for the first time. We celebrated the bicentennial in Kadoka, population 630. It was a cultural experience to say the least.
We traversed across lots of cow country in Nebraska to reach our destination city and on the way home we saw 
the Badlands,
Wall Drug, the Cosmos, and Mr. Washington.
Our roadtrip was sparked by the presence of great friends and the promise of a fireman's ball. We were not dissapointed! (see Part 2)

Weekend-O-Love
If you know us well, you know we like to "O-rama" things. And, that's exactly how we decided to celebrate our 4th anniversary this year. Lately, Chris and I have been racing all over the country so we decided to stay home for a change and see what sorts of excitement we could drum up... hehe. We have come to fondly refer to this year's celebration as "The Weekend -O-Love."
We spent time floating around a wonderful water park (I even went on scary stuff!):
