L'Espoir de la Vie

the joys of growing up

When it gets warm outside I love spending time on my roof. 

It’s such a nice place to get away from things. It overlooks the condo complex adjoining my place. I can see the sun set behind the mountains. The trees are tall enough around the rooftop that I can see the signs of spring as I tan on the roof. 

I brought a bottle of wine up the other day, along with a special someone. We enjoyed the last bits of sunlight before it disappeared and the sky turned orange. 

Goodness gracious, I love Colorado!

Ladies’ Night

This weekend I organized the ladies from my MBA class to get together for a night out on the town! I met up with the girls at 9th door downtown for some sangria.

Happy Star Wars Day!

I stumbled upon this gorgeous video on ParisinFourMonths.com

It absolutely took my breath away, and reiterated the fact that I think Paris is one of the most beautiful cities, ever.

I looked up the videographer: Andrew Julian and it brought me to his website: AndrewJulian.com where he just has phenomenal videos of places all around the world. It almost makes me want to drop everything and jetset to them, right NOW!

Check ‘em out. They definitely made my day :)

Just Give me a Reason - Pink and Nate Ruess

Listening to this song on repeat. I am just so obsessed with Nate Ruess’ voice (lead singer of Fun.)

Almost Friday!

Any plans?

Baby Pictures - Nikoletta

So, I tried my hand at taking baby pictures. I had no idea how much time it takes to do this type of session; setting up the background, making sure the baby isn’t fussy, and if it is then waiting for it to get to sleep and then having to position them ever so gently!

All in all, it was such a fun time. And babies are so adorable!
