favorite friends in denver

in our backyard

aspen fell and scraped her knee up really bad
so my fix (after h2o2 and neosporin) was this "magical healing sock"

kim, cam, troy

erin, shellie, autumn

you can't realllllly tell, but i transformed the garage into a hangout area

i put an array of chairs,

some old rugs,

the base to the anthro table, made into a coffee table,

a dumpster find of a crate and barrel island on wheel thing i turned into "the bar"

and the chaise lounge i found in the alley

bethany and lindsay

autumn, erin, b, lindsay, me, shellie
aspen and the sock

the first keg i've ever bought!
