So, we thought we would try to post some more pics from our time so far in CO..some we've been meaning to post...so they may be a little outdated :). We've sure been busy, but yet we've had a lot of fun. We enjoyed our first snow this past Sunday. D was like a little kid! It sure gets us excited for the holidays. For me, it just got me all excited to start cookin'. I spent the whole day in the kitchen cookin' up pumpkin bread, chili and other tasty stuff. We are both so excited to spend our first holiday season as a married couple. It will be so nice to take a nice long break from work and relax in our new home :) Enjoy some of our latest pics.
Lotsa yardwork....
Cripple Creek...yellow aspens...and a train ride in an old steam train to see all the old mines! D had been told by some of his co-workers that this was the time to go see all the aspens turning yellow. They told us to head toward Woodland Park and to keep going towards Cripple Creek to see the best sights. Of course, we have high standards for fall colors coming from the midwest...so we kept driving until we were sufficiently impressed. Of course, that took us within minutes of Cripple Creek, so we decided to check it out. All I ever knew of the city was that it was the place all cadets went to do a little gambling. Let's see, it was a Sunday afternoon and I think were were the youngest folks in the city by far! It's pretty amazing to see so many folks so dedicated to gambling...a new cultural experience! The old steam train was pretty cool though as we drove through the old mine country and learned quite a bit about the mines. We also learned that Cripple Creek was only 4 votes away from becoming the capital of CO instead of Denver. A spontaneous trip one Sunday afternoon, but turned out to be lots of fun!

And that's it for now folks. Hopefully we can keep up some regular posts.
Hope you enjoyed our pictures. We miss you all...and hope everyone is doing very well.
