There are many things I love about my wife, one being her excellent ability to find deals! She informed me last week that Sunday was a free day at the Denver Zoo. Now that’s the kind of deal I can get behind. So on Sunday we, along with the rest of Denver and half-a-million parents… Continue reading Free Day at the Denver Zoo!

We love renting!
Although we were sad to leave our old house, have I mentioned that we love not owning one right now? We were having a “little” trouble with the water from the washing machine and kitchen backing up into the downstairs bathtub (gross). What do we do? Call the landlords! Although they had just gotten home… Continue reading We love renting!
Back at it and baby time
After a long hiatus from my little sewing projects (almost entirely due to the discovery of gardening), I finally got back at it. I cut out all the pieces for this pink ball back before gardening season hit, but I never got around to sewing it. Tenopardgyse . I knew I wanted to make a… Continue reading Back at it and baby time
Welcome to Colorado…Love, the snow.
Yes, this really is Joel. I absolutely love snow, and I think God knew that I hadn’t met my snow quota in quite some time. Â I had heard some talk of a major snowstorm, but I’ve become jaded by promises like that after so many years in the south. Tuesday (Oct. 27) Â evening after work… Continue reading Welcome to Colorado…Love, the snow.
Quandary, no doubt!
Weekend before last, we ventured to Quandary Peak. We camped (in the 20s!!), and summitted Quandary Peak the next day. There was a lot of snow up on the mountain, and it was SUPER windy at the top. The best part was…no altitude sickness for me! After both of my bad experiences over the summer,… Continue reading Quandary, no doubt!
Bikes!
Last Saturday, we went to the quarterly police bike auction (bike theft is apparently bad here), and we got bikes! Mine was $30 (but needs a number of parts), and Joel’s was $60 (doesn’t need any work). Unfortunately, we didn’t know you could get there an hour early to actually view the bikes before you… Continue reading Bikes!
Other fun
This week, we’ve got nothing going on…but last week we did a few fun things. Joel’s old co-worker, Jonathan, and his wife Kristine came to Denver for the week, so we got to spend some time with them.

Getting Settled
Everything went smoothly with moving in…well almost. Our box springs wouldn’t fit up the stairway, so we had to buy a “split” box springs (thank you big lots). Everything is good now though! Â After we had been here a couple of days, my mom came out to help me (ok, she did all the work)… Continue reading Getting Settled
The Drive
Since we’ve been here 2 weeks, it’s about time I posted! Here are a few pics from our drive here…more posts to come this week… What is this, Bonnaroo?? Nope, just a good ol’ race at the Kansas Motor Speedway. Tenopardgyse . Peta satelit dunia
How lovely
We had a big surprise on Sunday – a huge going away party from our church friends and family! Courtney told us we were having a ‘youth worker’ lunch, but little did we know that she and Carla were instead planning a big potluck for us. Here’s the picture from when we walked in. Our… Continue reading How lovely
