so it’s been a week, but it feels like we got here yesterday. we got to our condo at 4am, chilled out for a quick second, slept for about 4 hours, then headed to the basin to meet up with sam and camilo! snow tires are the jam, by the way. feels like we are in a four wheel drive snow mobile.

bluebird days followed by beautiful snowy days. romping around with albus, discovering the best beer shops, and curling up on the couch to watch a movie. which was postponed! the xbox died! the red ring of death. probably my fault for watching all three law and order shows from first to last season for a year. now we have a new xbox and it’s so cute! kind of telling about us that the second the xbox died, we bought a new one on amazon with 2 day shipping.

i worked all weekend to catch up on work. i’ve figured out which couch i like best and aaron has set up his post in the dining room. it’s really awesome to look up from work and smile or make kissy faces at each other. we take turns making lunch for each other, although aaron has made more and better lunches than me by far. it’s great having a lunch buddy again. i was so used to eating by myself that i would just make something quick and eat while i kept working. having a break in the day to talk about work, afternoon plans, and just life in general is really relaxing.

albus also enjoys the many short trips to the backyard aaron provides as small breaks throughout the day. he was made for the snow. he just buries his face in it any chance he gets. he’s adjusting really well to only having one toy: dolphin and one chew: elk antler. he has ignored the ducks so far, but went crazy when a fox ran through the back yard. can’t wait to take him to the basin to run around with the other pups after the lifts close.

getting to and living in colorado for the first week has been nothing short of amazing. kind of feels like vacation!
