Valentines Day, Puppies, and Nuggets

This has been a very busy week and Brad and I can't believe we are almost through the month. We started out by celebrating Valentines Day by going to The Old Spaghetti Factory in Denver. This is one of Brad and I's favorite places to eat in Denver. Not only is it cheap but it includes everything. I love to get the combo of the mushroom sauce and the Mizethra. The Mizethra is a very rich creamy cheese, Brad says it stinks but I love it!! Dinner also includes salad, bread and spumoni ice cream, YUM!! If you haven't checked it out please see the following link http://www.osf.com. We finished up the evening by renting some movie and relaxing and home. Brad also got me a beautiful boquette of red roses and a very nice card.

Sunday Valentines Day we went over to Brad's Mom and Step Dad's house to celebrate Bob's birthday. We had an amazing dinner including sushi and oysters. I have found myself into this new oyster kick where I get them as much as possible and really enjoy them. Brad thinks they are gross and slimy but I think that are great. After spending time with his family Bob opened all of his gifts and had a great day. It was nice to get together and be able to celebrate.

For those of you that didn't know Brad and I are very involved with a puppy rescue out of Broomfield. We had taken a brake but just started to get back into it again and started helping out at the events. I received an email from the organizer Debbie on Monday asking if Brad and I could foster a 1.5 year old Dachshund/Golden Retriever Mix. I couldn't resist and after lots of begging on my end with Brad he said ok lets do it. We picked Mack up on Monday night and have really enjoyed him being around. He was abused so we have been working through social issues with him but he is really coming out of his shell. He went to his first adoption event on Saturday but didn't get adopted so we will have him for another week. He is such a good boy and goes to work with me and just sleeps on his bed under my desk all day. Frankie and Lucy really like him but Belle being the pug she is really could care less about him being in the house. We hope to find him a loving and caring family soon as he deserves the best.

On Sunday Brad and met up with John and Maggie to go to the Nuggets game. First let me back track by saying I thought it was easy to get Nuggets tickets, boy was a wrong. After looking everyday on Craigs list I was able to finally get 4 tickets together in the noise bleed section that weren't being scalped for like $100 each. We had to run to Denver on Saturday to pick them up but they were cheap ($47 per ticket) and all together. We left early due to all the snow we have had over the weekend as the game started at 1:30. We all decided to try a restaurant that was featured on Man Vs. Food. It is called The Cherry Cricket located in North Cherry Creek. WOW this was for sure the best hamburger that I have ever had. Brad and I also shared Green chili which was amazing. John being the foodie that he is ate his burger in less then 5 minutes, it makes me sick thinking about it. Maggie and I barley finished and were completely stuffed for the rest of the day. I would HIGHLY recommend trying the food and enjoying the atmosphere. (www.cherrycricket.com)
The game was great and the Nuggets sure put on a show. It was nice to have a sporting event to enjoy inside and not have to worry about the yucky snow outside. The Nuggets were ahead the whole game and pretty much dominated the Celtics. There were lots of Celtic fans in the audience so it was fun to see them get quit quick with the Nuggets kicking their butts. We all had a really good time and we hope to be able to go to some more games before their season is over.

I hope you all are having a great week, off to watch the AWESOME Olympics.
