First Snow!!

Well, we have had our first bit of snow here in Colorado Springs.  It was the best snow experience I think we've ever had-MUCH better than out in Pennsylvania.  While it was cold (in the low 30s--that's in F...sorry, I still can't convert temperature to C in my head for my aussie readers!), and there was a nice snow-covered effect over the cars, yard, roofs, etc., there was NO snow on the driveway or roads. Today we're getting the sprinkler company to come and winterize the in-ground sprinkler system, getting Brett's car fixed, and we're enjoying a nice fire in the fireplace. 

We've been sick and taking care of one another and also slowly putting together the final little things around the house.  April's mom and sister (with not-so-little nephew Andrew) are visiting us in November and Brett's parents are coming to see us for Christmas. We are so excited for both families to see how our new life is coming together and excited to introduce so many people to the wonders of Colorado.

Gotta Love Ginger Beer

Brett loves ginger beer.  In particular, Bundaberg ginger beer.  It is an Aussie product that we've been trying to find in the States for months.  We finally found it at a local store called World Market and he let me buy him a whole case of it!!!  I love spoiling my husband! 

Bathurst

I am so excited that Brett was able to find the Bathurst race on TV today.  He worked so hard all day on his job application stuff and so this is a well-deserved break for him.  Time to get him another beer and learn something about Aussie car racing.
