The first couple days in Colorado, we spent with the Croppers. They came to visit us back in January, and we really wanted to get to know more about their lives in Boulder. And what a fun life it is! They are surrounded by such breathtaking scenery, and we were in awe as we hiked the flatirons. Many times Ryan and I caught ourselves saying and thinking the same thing - boy would we love to live here! It is open and spacious, green most of the year, surrounded by tons of outdoorsy things to do, and just felt comfortable. If Ryan pursues general or vascular surgery, we are very tempted to try and do his residency there.
Ian and Ashleigh are incredible hosts. We ate THE most delicious food in their home, and they showed us the crazy concoctions that Boulder had to offer (ie. sushi burrito?? what?!). We got to experience a little "day in the life" and they are both busy with work, but we are so appreciative they let us barge in for a couple days.
We got to spend the last couple days with my sister Anna and her family just up the road a few miles. Cal was in heaven with her 4 fun kids, and we were in heaven with her fresh baked blueberry muffins mmmm. I would absolutely love to live in Denver just so we could be neighbors with the Winns! We spent Friday afternoon in a really fun community pool, and just loved visiting with them on their picture perfect back porch.
Anna and Zoe took us to the airport shuttle, and watching them walk away from the bus window was way harder than I thought it would be. Cal just waved and waved, and my heart was breaking thinking about how far we were from both sides of our family. One day, we hope to be much much closer.
*I went to Colorado back in August of 2014, and took this picture with Cal. Here we are in the same exact spot almost a year later!
