We've been here 5 days now and it feels pretty good. We arrived on Monday, Dec 1st and slept on the floor of our new house.
Our stuff arrived the next day, we unloaded it (with the help of some movers), and unpacked most of the boxes. We're pretty well settled in now, with only some books and some framed photos to unpack (for which we need new bookshelves). Overall, the house is great--a nice change from our old house, which was charming but had it's challenges. So far, we love it here. We can walk to some needed places (like a grocery store), we have a nice park nearby, the people are friendly (our new neighbors brought us brownies on Friday) and, of course, the mountains are minutes away.
Monday and Tuesday were warm, sunny days (65 degrees or so). By Tuesday night it had cooled off and by Wednesday morning it was snowing. It snowed a good bit and by Friday morning, we had this:
And it was COLD (in the teens with a good wind). The perfect time to do our first XC ski outing as Colorado residents. So we went skiing Friday morning in the foothills, but we forgot the camera.
Today we went hiking in Lory State Park
