Colorado Winter 2014

A lot of big moments happened during our first winter in Colorado! I’ve narrowed it down to a list of our top ten favorites.

1. The biggest moment would have to be buying our first house! David and I were so happy to set down roots in Colorado. We moved in November, just in time to spend Thanksgiving in our new home.

2. Opening my Etsy shop! It features a small gallery of photos from my blog. I also wanted to share our love for national parks – so a percentage of every sale will be donated to the National Parks Conservation Association. (www.etsy.com/shop/thewaywedidit)

3. After his knee surgery, Biscuits was doing great in therapy and started walking again like a champ!

4. Enjoying a picnic in Rocky Mountain National Park. It’s pretty amazing watching a national park go through every season.

5. David and I flew home for the holidays to visit family & friends… and their new chickens!

6. Exploring our new neighborhood.

7. On New Years, David and I spent the day in Boulder playing in the snow and walking on the frozen South Boulder Creek! We also became friends with some adorable mini horses down the road from our house.

8. Adjusting to snow! Having to shovel our driveway & sidewalk was a bit of a change… so was shoveling a square in the yard for Biscuits to go potty in.

9. You’re probably wondering what the slumpy pile of brown goo is… David decided to bake me a cake for my birthday! It didn’t quite look like one, but it was delicious!

10. Snowshoeing to Emerald Lake. I surprised David for his birthday by spending the day snowshoeing in the Rocky Mountains – something he’s been talking about since the first snowfall. (See the full adventure here!)
