Wedding Weekend

Filed Under Peace & Happiness, Random | Leave a Comment

This weekend was the wedding of my husband’s brother, Mark Lacis.  He married a lovely gal named Chris Giameo in the most picturesque wedding ceremony you’ve ever seen.  We had a pretty intense family and friend invasion from all over the United States…Illinois, New Jersey, Washington DC, Florida and California just to name a few.  Perched on a mountain top in Lyons, Colorado they took their vows…and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.  I am especially grateful for these two wonderful people, as they have been incredible supporters of Girls Fight Back.  Since day one, Mark has been our attorney and sometimes even stepped in during GFB classes as SBG. (scary bad guy)  Chris has always been quick to volunteer and support me in whatever my latest and greatest crazy idea is…I am grateful for them both.  Many, many congratulations!

Whitewater Rafting

Filed Under Peace & Happiness, Random | Leave a Comment

This weekend was the bachelorette party for my good friend and soon-to-be sister-in-law, Chris Giameo.  She’s an outdoorsy chick, so we decided to go whitewater rafting at the Royal Gorge instead of strippers and penis straws.  It was a blast. There’s really nothing more refreshing and exciting than being in nature, and getting your ass kicked by it!  I’ve live in Colorado for over a year now, but everytime I do something like this, I still have to convince myself it’s not a Disney ride…it’s mama nature in full effect.  If you’ve never gone rafting before, you gotta try it.
