nothing but love for steamboat

i look back and am amazed by how long it has been since i have blogged.
we didn't die we are very alive. this year has looked a lot different so far then our first year here. taylor has been pouring a lot of his time and energy into the start up bike shop he is managing. it has been a great experience and he is learning so much. so our adventures since april 2011 have looked a little different.
on the fourth of july we escaped the city to return to one of our favorite places in co, the place that when we were dating we visited and planted the dream of living here. we got to stay in a fancy fun hotel that made me giddy by the time we got in the lobby... thank you hotwire you make anything afforadble.
in less then 36 hours we ...
mtn biked twice, watched fire works on the river while listening to a fun funky little band, watched a ski jump in july, sat in a slopeside hot tub, held hands, reconnectd, laughed and tried to  make plans for year two in a city so far from home. we came home and moved two days later to this sweet little bungalow in wash park. did i mention taylor and i single handily moved every item on our own. challenging beyond words... but we did it.
this little home is part of our new plan, our hope is that by moving toward young people, our church, and the city we will not feel as disconnected as we did where we were before so yipeee for a denver address ha. today our friend doug is moving in the basement and the tiny space will get warmer, I love having people around and look forward to more company.
