Making a hard stop
Whew.
We made it.
For a second last night, we thought today would not take place in normal fashion. Luckily, someone upstairs was looking out for us.
Let us explain…
As we were driving to boot camp last night (which is about 5 miles from our apartment) everything seemed normal. Traffic was the same. Our pre-workout music was the same. Even our workout clothes were the same. In our mind it was an ordinary Tuesday evening. No bigs. Well, as we turned onto 17th street (which is a one-way) a man stepped in front of our Jeep. We immediately slammed on our brakes, and was inches away from sending this guy flying through the air.
Thank goodness we didn’t hit him! Of course we freaked out and started yelling at the man through the window to get the %#@* out of the road. The next part freaked us out more than the possibility of actually killing him.
As we yelled from inside the Jeep, the man didn’t move an inch. He just stood in front our hood and continued to stare at us with what we would describe as soulless eyes. Freak t-o-w-n! Have you ever been stared at by someone that has no soul? It’s unpleasant, let us tell you. His stare sent a shiver down our spine, and we didn’t know whether to be terrified or begin to cry.
We did the only logical thing at the time and that was to get the hell out of there. We zoomed past him, and as we looked back in our rear view mirror, he had vanished into the darkness.
After we had a couple of minutes to digest what had just happened, we came to the realization that he was either trying to hurt or kill himself. There was no other explanation. We hope that man, whomever he is, finds some kind of answer before he hurts himself or someone else.
Okaaaaaay.
Sorry for crazy story, but it bothered us and we needed to share. Thanks for listening!
Let’s move on to something fun.
Our sister-in-law, Kitty (her real name is Sarah), flew in from Kansas City today for work. Can we just say that we love our sister-in-law? She is so freaking talented and cute. We wish John and her lived in Denver so we could play more often!
Anyways, Mr. B and we strolled to the Curtis to meet up with Kitty around 6:30 and then we were going to head to dinner. Love the Curtis. It’s our go-to hotel for guests. The rooms are reasonably priced and it’s located right in the middle of downtown. Winner, winner!
We decided on Osteria Marco for dinner because it was right down the street from the hotel. We love the atmosphere of this restaurant because it’s relaxing and inviting, while the Italian food is absolutely savory.
We started with red wine and artichokes.
For our entrees, Kitty and we both had a pizza. Hello, cheese! Mr. B had the calamari salad. The calamari was cooked evenly. The breading wasn’t soggy and the dressing didn’t devour the salad. Highly recommend it if you ever go. We talked up a storm about our upcoming family reunion in San Diego over Christmas. So excited!
We are so glad we got to see and catch up with Kitty! We just love her. We hope you had a fantastic hump day!
