We Live in Colorado...and We Like It!

Despite being sad to leave Utah and all the people we miss...we LOVE it here in Colorado.

Colorado Springs is beautiful and there is so many fun things to do.

Here's what we've been up to since we've been here.

Sky Sox - Triple A Baseball team.

Rennaisance Festival with parents

Brandon Started Radiology School

Isn't he so cute in his scrubs! He only has to wear them on clinical days which is 2 days a week, the other 3 days he's in the classroom.

Celebrating our 2nd Anniversary!

We went to this cute town near us called Manitou Springs. We stayed overnight at the Cliffhouse hotel, a 4 star hotel built in 1873. It was beautiful. The tiny town is full of tons of cute artsy shops & yummy places to eat. It might be our new favorite find here in Colorado.



All over town there are these fountains that come from the natural springs that contain carbonic acid which created the first carbonated drink. Each spring had it's own unique flavor - it's seriously like drinking pop...it was nuts!

Thanks Colorado Springs for making it such a fun, welcoming first month here. It also is great to be within an hours drive of both of our parents. I think we're gonna be just fine here. We may even just stay for a while!

Last Weekend in Utah

I know this is over a month old - and we regret not taking advantage of all the fun things Utah has to do the 2 summers we were there....but on our last weekend we tried to live it up as much as possible! We went up to Park City and did the Alpine Slide and Alpine Coaster - I recommend the coaster hands down! It was a blast. We had a delicious meal and meandered around Park City. Had a goodbye party with friends and then packed up our house and moved to Colorado the next week. Here are a few pics of our last Utah adventure as Utah residents.

Alpine Slide = pretty fun


Alpine Coaster = WAY more fun!

Then it was time for the dreaded goodbye's....


We said goodbye to Brandon's Aunt and Uncle who played a large part in us getting reacquainted and ultimately married - and have been a home away from home and a constant source of love and support. We loved having them close (and their dogs.)

At the fun goodbye party my sister threw me (thanks again sis!) I carried my camera in my pocket the entire evening, and took but two photos...major bummer. But it was great to get to see good friends one more time and tell them I love them and how grateful I am for their role in my life.

Goodbye Best older sister and her awesome husband

Goodbye Best Friend who has been there for me in more ways that I can count and favorite little 2 year old who just barely learned my name...don't forget me!

Goodbye cute house where we began our life together....

And goodbye Sonic next to our house. It was pretty cool being your neighbor.

Needless to say, it was really hard to leave Utah - and there were many tears shed. It was sad to leave where we spent our first 2 years of marriage and sad to say goodbye all the people we love......

BUT.....on a positive note, Colorado has been good to us so far - I'll post some pics soon!
