Let's Go Skiing...

Dave and I are committed.  We are going to be skiers this season.

It seems that 2 Colorado natives should be rockstars on the slopes, but Dave and I had not been skiing in years.  I actually have not skied since 2nd grade.  It was only a half day up at A-Basin, but it was enough for me!  I was exhausted after only 3 runs.  But I did it!  I skied down the mountain!  Dave was a great teacher and was very patient with me.  I only cried once.  I cried out of fear and a bit of frustration.

All in all, we are both extremely excited for the season ahead of us!

Holiday Season

This means Die Hard, Home Alone and Elf.  It means overpaying for a crappy tree from a tree farm in Greeley, crock-pot stews roasting all day, Mariah Carey, Christmas Shoes (the song), stockings hanging on our NEW mantle, and looking forward to working, oh I mean spending time with family.  With Dave and I both in the medical field, the holidays are rough.  Dave works Christmas Eve, I on the other hand work on Christmas Day.  Perfect.  But, we will enjoy the time we have together and when we are with family.  Thank goodness for family being 1 hour away in two different directions.  It is a blessing to have people close this holiday season.

Cutting our tree down.

It's a beauty.

Family Shot!  Asher was sooooo pumped!  Ha.

Happy to be spending the evening together.  Merry Christmas.

Operation 2 Cars-in-the-Garage

Mission complete.

We got both cars and all our crap to fit in the garage!  Successful winter season.

Asher loves the new place...

Asher loves the windows of the new place!

I never realized it, but Ash did not get to see much action at the old apartment.  Now, we are across the street from a park and there are tons of dogs and squirrels that she stares at all day.  She is such a sweetie and has blessed our lives immensely.












And here is a picture of Ash enjoying the sunshine.

Incredible Weather

November 30th, 2012: Dave and I went on a bike ride and had a picnic outside.  It was almost 70 degrees and sunny. Absolutely incredible!
December 1st, 2012: Hiking and walking around Golden in a t-shirt and pants.  Wow.


The weather has been beautiful and warm.  I guess it is concerning and not ideal for the ski resorts, but for Dave and I, it was a blessing.  We were able to spend a few great days together and get a little sun on our faces.  It was glorious:)
