It's Amazing What You Can Wake Up To...

Last night, it was just barely under 50 degrees when we went to bed, but this morning when we woke up, 9 inches of snow was falling. I love Colorado because tomorrow its going to almost 60 with a full day of sunshine. Where else do you get weather like this. Here are a couple of great snow storm shots.

Thoughts

Okay, so it is really late at night (almost 1 a.m.) and I can't sleep at all, so I thought I would post some thoughts. I love where we live. I mean, 5 years ago when Joe and I started dating, who would have ever thought I would be living this incredible life in Colorado? I always thought I was a true Southerner and couldn't leave the South and everything that was there, but with the exception of my family and friends, it hasn't been that bad. Sometimes I wish that ALL of you could move here with us! Especially some of my BCM and NSU friends.
Do you ever wonder why you get to a certain spot in your life? God has totally led me here, but I sometimes wonder how did it happen? Its definitely a lot crazier than I ever thought it would be.
Anyway, that's enough preaching/commenting for one night.
Have a great week!

Happenings

So, it is now warm again (well a lot warmer than 20 degrees on Wednesday morning.) Thanks to everyone who left comments! We hope you will keep checking on what's going on with us. For those of you who don't know, Joe and I live in Littleton, CO. It is a suburb of Denver and we live right along the foothills. We moved here in January and we LOVE it! You cannot beat the weather here, and our church family is AMAZING! We are really blessed to be here. Joe is the worship pastor at our church (Ken Caryl Baptist Church) and I am going to graduate school at the University of Colorado, and teaching music part-time at an elementary school. We are so busy! I just wanted to give a little update for those of you who don't keep in touch like you are supposed to! Haha!
We do have a little baby, our dog, Baxter. Here he is in all of his cuteness. (Yes, Joe and I have become psycho pet owners!)
Anyway, I hope you are all having a great day. I have to go do some homework, which has become my life!

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!

It's snowing! The one thing about being Southerners is that we get as excited about snow as the kids at my school. All of today my first through third graders have been said, "It's snowing! Mrs. Horan, did you know its snowing?" They never get over it. Its the wonderment of being a child, I guess.This is obviously me on our deck of our apartment. Right after Joe took this picture of me, I took Baxter (our dog) walking while it was still snowing. He acts like a lunatic in the snow, eating it, rolling around in it and burying his nose in it.We had a great time, even though it was cold. There is nothing more beautiful than newly fallen snow! I LOVE SNOW! Have a great day!

We Live in A Great Place!!

Last weekend, Sara and I went up to Keystone, CO to spend some quality time alone together. It was AMAZING. Colorado is absolutely one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, and to think that we live only an hour from places like Summit County, and Keystone is incredible. If you haven't planned your trip out here yet, YOU NEED TO! We can't wait to see you, and for you to enjoy all that Colorado has to offer. Hope you enjoy some of our photos below.

This is the first bit of snow I've seen this fall. Obviously I'm pretty excited.

Here are shots of Sara and I at the Continental Divide on top of Loveland Pass.

Here is a picture of my beautiful bride by the largest outdoor ice rink in Colorado! 5 full acres!

Here are a couple of other pictures we took while enjoying our time in the high country.

Our Visit With Annie

A couple of weeks ago, my brother Clint and sister-in-law, Tanya, came to visit with our one year old neice, Annie. We had a fantastic time, and throughly enjoyed following Annie around our house. Here are some of the pictures from that visit:

This is the cutie herself. As you can see, I lucked out as an uncle!

Here are Sara and I with Annie. I think I'm the favorite, but only cause I'm funny looking.

Welcome Family and Friends

Hey! We thought starting a blog might be a great way to keep everyone abreast of what is happening in our lives as well as easier than emailing tons of pictures all the time. We hope you guys enjoy.
