october 1st marked our one year here in colorado. i can't believe we've been here for an entire year already! as we were driving to nebraska for the last NASA track event for the season, W and i reflected back on this past year, and talked about the whole experience. i don't have any regrets, and think this was a really good thing for us. it was definitely hard being so far from friends and family, but i think it
was good for our relationship, to just be on our own and focus on us and acclamating to life in the rockies. i still wish i could have just one really good girlfriend out here, but you know, i've met some really great ppl thru work so i really can't complain. things at work are looking great. i love our house even more each day (especially as we slowly make improvements and add our own touches). we picked a great area and neighborhood, a place i can definitely picture us raising kids someday. it just all worked out better than i expected. i didn't have a whole lot of expectations when we moved out here, i just really hoped i wouldn't hate it! and i don't, at all. i am definitely looking forward to our 2nd winter here, and hope to get a few more snowboarding trips in this season. woohoo!
and speaking of our little trip to nebraska... well, we found out why they're called the nebraska cornhuskers, cuz man, nebraska has a LOT of corn! there's a new track in this little town called hastings, and since this was the last track event of the year, W really didn't want to miss it. he liked the track a lot, and altho the temporary control tower/trailor wasn't the greatest, it had AC, and that's really all i need to stay happy! :) hopefully by next year, they'll have their planned 3-story control tower up and ready to go. the track workers were really great and a lot of fun to work with. and the best part...W is just one step away from getting his racing license so he can race in NASA's honda challenge (that's his goal). yea! i'm gonna be a driver's wife! hahaha...
before we left for nebraska, the trees were starting to turn, some more than others. by the time we got back yesterday, all the yellow trees are now bare, and the green trees are yellow! our's are slowly making their way to yellow, and our maple tree is starting to turn red. i just hope we don't have another freak snowstorm before all the leaves fall off, like last year!
well we've got a busy month already...this weekend W's dad and stepmom are visiting. the weekend after we'll be in the bay area for M&S's wedding (yea!!!). the following weekend is our 2 year wedding anniversary (wow!). and we need to get started sometime on our downstairs bathroom remodel (we're replacing the vanity, tiling the floors, painting, and maybe doing some tile work on the walls--it's going to look fabulous!). we also want to retile the mudroom and put in more storage. at least it'll be winter soon so we'll be spending more time indoors. then we won't have any excuses not to work on the house!
i sure could use a pumpkin spice latte right about now...
