It’s hard to believe that two-
thousand and eleven is already in
the record books. Fortunately, we
forged many memories to look
back on.
January 2011 was the first month
Mike hasn’t been in school since
the year 1987! He traded his
casual grad student blue jeans for a white lab coat as he
joined the faculty of the Physical Therapy Program in the
Univ of Colorado School of Medicine. There Mike is a co-
instructor of anatomy for PT, PA, MD, & DDS students.
In February, we visited New Orleans for the first time to
attend a physical therapy conference. Mike watched with
pride as Stephanie was recognized for completing her
orthopedic physical therapy specialization (OCS).
For Spring Break we explored the non-contiguous
United States by taking a vacation in Oahu, Hawaii. Wehad our first ride in a helicopter and cannot wait to do it
again.
After many months of searching, we finally found a
great house in a great neighborhood in Lafayette, CO and
made initial arrangements to purchase our first home.
May of course meant time for the Bolder Boulder 10K
on Memorial Day. It was a great race that marked Mike’s
10th finish and the 6th time for Stephanie (who beat Mike
by mere seconds).
We closed on our new home
on June 13 and had tons of
help moving in that
following weekend. For the
rest of the summer we
enjoyed exploring our new
neighborhood, enjoying
many runs along Coal Creek
with Maia as well as sampling
the many farmer’s markets in
the surrounding towns. We
managed to get away to
Minnesota for the wedding of
our dear friend Nina.
Landscaping the backyard
had been looming all summer
and in mid-September we
finally broke ground with our first rototilling experience.
Twenty tons of river rock, two
palates of sod, four trees, twenty
shrubs, and several man-hours of
labor later our yard was finished!
It was physically exhausting but a
fun experience at the same time.
The highlights of Fall included;
Stephanie surprising Mike with a birthday dinner at the
restaurant overlooking right field at Coors Field, learning
some swing dancing and foxtrot moves, and getting lost in a
spooky corn field maze at Halloween.
In December we visited family in
Arizona, where Stephanie caught her
first fish! We will be celebrating
Christmas with family in Denver and
rounding out the year with a 60th
birthday celebration for Mike’s Dad.
We are truly blessed and wish you happy holidays and
all the best for 2012!
Love,
