We started perusing real estate ads back when moving to Colorado was still a pipe dream and quickly learned that the market here is crazy with a capital C! We knew that we’d probably have to adjust our expectations and standard of living if we eventually wanted to purchase a home in the Roaring Fork […]

Jason and I took a much-needed week off to celebrate his completion of the Colorado Bar exam. Although I didn’t spend the past several months years studying the way he did, I was still mentally exhausted just by the very thought of it. So, clearly, it was a hard-earned vacation for the both of us. […]

This spring I was so jealous to see my Texas friends posting precious photos of their kiddos playing in the bluebonnets when we still had several feet of snow on the ground. Over the past […]

This past weekend we went on a new adventure. Jason and I were invited to join four other couples for an overnight excursion to a backcountry hut. Believe it or not, even in late April there is still enough snow at the higher elevations for snow shoeing. The weather could not have been more perfect – […]

What a glorious day to celebrate Easter! We rose early so that we could spend the morning surrounded by God’s magnificent creation. The view from atop the mountain is always such a sweet reminder that we serve a powerful yet loving God. This morning we took the gondola to the summit of Aspen Mountain for […]

As my husband can attest, if there is a homes tour or an open house anywhere within a 25 mile radius, then I’ll be first in line to get a sneak peak! He says I’m nosy, but I call it research. After all, I was an architecture major in college so snooping around other people’s […]
