Snow Much To Do, Snow Little Time!




~Vail Pass and Walter's Cabin~



We have been posting so much info on our home I thought it might be a fun change of pace to update on our lives, more specifically mine. I am currently working two jobs, one for the City of Denver Parks and Recreation (Outdoor Recreation) and the other as a server at a restaurant. I am considered a recreation instructor with the city and get to take kids skiing, snowshoeing and lead rope courses. I just completed my first guiding hut trip up on Vail Pass with a great group of people, such a beautiful area! There is a great hut system in Colorado and it might just be my new obsession..... the concept it great, pull in a sled with your gourmet spread for the weekend and reside in a warm, dry, well furnished abode! I think this may kick off a new interest in skiing as well (crazier things have happened!). Well in the meantime I am fully enjoying 18 inches of snow that fell last night as well at a trailer load of our wedding gifts and a piano that just arrived from Fresno, California! Thanks Mom and Dad! Love you!

I've got a sink that works





So it took some time (until 2 am) but the sink finally went in almost without a hitch. Just a side note: When installing a sink make sure to get connecting hoses aka risers that are as long as possible in order to not screw up your day or night by finding out that you are unable to make the last connection due to shortness. Moving on this thing is saaweet! it does your dishes and then puts them away see photos. So for now no more doing dishes in the tub. At least once per day we do go into the bathroom with a cup to get water just out of habit. Ciao! (the sink is Italian) that explains the chest hair and gold chains we found in the box. Eww gross. Since I am having a dialogue with myself I should go. Again, Ciao!
