Thanksgiving in Cali
Our trip to California for Thanksgiving was a whirlwind. We braved the busiest travel night of the year and flew out Wed night. Our original flight was cancelled but luckily we were put on an earlier flight. We drove straight to Matt's grandparents house in Lancaster (an hour north of Los Angeles). The entire Meyers side of the family was present for thanksgiving (35 people). The house was filled with kids, legos, food, football, a new big screen HD TV (group Christmas present to Grandma Shirley & Grandpa Roy). Matt's cousin Kellie is pregnant with her third child so all the ladies gathered in the afternoon and threw her a baby shower. We played the game, "guess the candy bar in the diaper".... good times!
We drove to Modesto (6 hours north) thanksgiving evening with Matt's brother and his wife. We spent all day Friday with the Meyers clan and enjoyed more good food. We all woke up Saturday morning bright and early for family photos with the siblings. Our nephew James was such a good sport!
Matt and I headed back to Los Angeles Saturday mid-morning and slowly made our way down the grapevine. We were greeted with typical terrible LA traffic that reminded us yet again how happy we are that we no longer live there! We stopped by our dear friends (the Griffin family) house on our way into LA. Even though the visit was brief, it was so good to see them all again, we miss that family so much. We then went out with our good friends Anna & Greg for pizza and stayed the night at their beautiful house. Sun morning Matt dropped me off at Juliet's house (my old roommates) and we got coffee and caught up before she took me to LAX. Where I sat for the majority of the day as my plane got delayed hour after hour.... oh the joys of holiday travel. :)
Matt spent a few extra days in LA and was able to visit with his good friend James in Manhattan Beach,
and his old roommate Francis in Pasadena.
He also got to go back to the Griffins house for a famous "Missy Griffin home cooked meal". He loved playing with the girls who are growing up so fast!!
Denver has quickly become home to us however, it was good to reconnect with Matt's family and some of those in LA who were home to us while we lived there!

Ski Season has Arrived!
Arapahoe Basin - Elevation 12,400 ft.
Last Friday I went to Arapahoe Basin to take advantage of early snow. It was a beautiful drive through the rocky mountains to the base of the ski resort at 10,000 ft. The picture above is from the parking lot "Early Risers", and yes we were there when the lifts opened. Below, I am standing at the top of A-Basin overlooking the Montezuma Bowl with Breckenridge in the background.

WASHINGTON PARK
As we have mentioned in our other postings, we live 2 blocks away from the greatest park in Denver. Wahington Park, Its a mini-central park in the middle of a big city. It is truly my favorite place to escape to. I often go running around it. Today Matt spent the afternoon playing ultimate frisbee with some of our new friends..Its Nov and its about 70 degrees outside....However, Its supposed to snow tomorrow...therefore Matt, I, and all of Denver enjoyed the beautiful day outside!

Hiking in Boulder
Finally life settled enough to allow me to GET OUTSIDE and enjoy this beautiful place I get to call home.
My new friend Suzanne and I ventered out early Saturday morning. After a 20 minute drive we arrived in Boulder and hikes 6.8 miles to ascend this beautiful "Granger Mountain" peak. My calves are still sore!

GO Avalanche!!
Now that baseball season is over we have moved onto the AVES!
November is turning out to be a good month so far. We are settling into our new jobs and enjoying the new friends we are making. We are also so greatful for Katelyn and Brett, old friends who live 30 minutes away!! Also, one of my best friends from college, Lynn, was in Colorado Springs visiting her parents this weekend and we were able to drive down and spend the afternoon with her and her family. It was refreshing!! Matt spent the weekend organizing our (his) garage and building shelves for additional storage space. He did such a great job and we are now officially ALL MOVED IN!
