Home Sweet Colorado

Nick and I moved into this cute old home back in February.  It's a two bedroom home in Wash Park built in 1900, so it's old - which means it's got plenty of character.  And by character I mean no air conditioning, mice & spiders, and a basement so scary Nick won't even go down there.  OK, I promise it's not that bad we just both came from places before it that were built in this decade :)  It's a really great house and we just love living there together.  It's so nice to have the extra bedroom for guests (hint hint), Nick has his own office,  Moe gets to lay out in the backyard and being so close to the park is awesome.  Plus, I can't wait to decorate it and get a big ol' tree in there for Christmas!  Here are a few pics of the place for those of you who haven't been out to see us yet!
We're the little one in the middle :)
Living room, obviously the IOWA game is on in the background!

Pictures up our staircase Nick's taken from all over the world.
Bedroom

If you look real close there's a little gift from my mom on this bed - a pillow that says 'Home Is Where Your Mom Is'.  If I had a penny for every time she asked me to move home I'd be rich!
Dining room table - my birthday present!
Upstairs bathroom
Clearly, the 4ft clawfoot tub was the selling point in the house for Nick.

Moe

Meet our nugget, Moe.  We picked up this little guy back in April from the Denver Dumb Friends League.  My sister Kate was in town visiting and the three of us decided we would go 'just to look'.  When Nick and Kate caught Moe staring at us in the shelter we just couldn't resist that face!  We gave him about two seconds to melt our hearts and he was headed home with us.  He's great company while Nick travels, wears a tuxedo 24/7,  and you can tell from this picture that the man sure loves his tuna :)

Here we go!

I've been contemplating starting a blog for quite a while now and after telling Nick about it he thought it would be a great way for both of us to share our lives in Colorado with our friends and family who miss so much back at home.  We feel so fortunate to live in such a beautiful place with an endless list of things to do, with a wonderful group of friends to enjoy it with.  We are truly blessed!
