Pumpkins!

Its fall at last and we are enjoying (I am enjoying and Laura hates) the cold! Every degree drop makes us think more and more of snowboarding season. We are very excited--and will even try to go this Sunday. Here are a couple of pics of our latest adventures.

Here is my dear looking beautiful as the rain begins to fall. She chose Lopsided Lucy instead of a good old big and round one.

Time to watch a movie this evening before our soccer game! The Soloist.

Triathlon, not quite

Laura and I visited Tom for Friday night in Chicago. It was a fun filled surprise birthday for ol' Tommy boy, and then Laura, Nick, Tom O. and I got to go to the Notre Dame game. We lost but it was well worth it to experience a South Bend Saturday. We were signed up to run the Boulder Sunset Triathlon today but realized we were out of gas. Recovery this morning consisted of going to a Bronco's Tailgate and bringing Provin back to our house to hang. We're cleaning and freezing tomatoes this afternoon, along with watching the Broncos game and Back to the Future (good movie).

Merry Christmas from all of us

Decorating the House!

Today Laura and I put up the our tree. Here is my beautiful bride next to our very natural tree, we got a Lodgepole Pine.
No tree farm for us! We got a permit to go out into the woods and cut down a tree in a recently clear cut section of the forest. We help mother nature by thinning out the forest, and she helps us with a beautiful and natural tree.
Here is the house from outside for all of you who were wondering what it looks like. Our address is 3749 Lafayette St. Denver, CO 80205.

WE ARE IN OUR HOUSE!!!!!

I do not know if you can tell but I am excited that WE ARE IN OUR HOUSE!! It took a long time but everything looks great. I forgot to take a picture of the new colors on the outside so I will have to add that later.

Here are some before and afters

As you walk in the front door, you might notice that you can see the kitchen and there is not big mushroom.

Here is your view if turned around and looked from the back of the house to the front. I know what you are all thinking, we should have kept the kitchen the same.

These are the bedrooms upstairs. The before does not exist because this was the attic. The guest room is green and our room is the red-orange.

Laura's Contribution

My contribution will be some pictures of the wedding, hiking, and our wedding. SO MUCH FUN!!!
