moving day is here

You probably missed the recap of our move to Colorado.  It was almost exactly 1 year ago!  I was still blogging on the ota.bars blog, but made the switch to The Edible Perspective in October.  Check out my super exciting 25hr car ride from NC to CO!  So funny how much changes in a year.  Before moving to Colorado, I had only played with Chris’s dSLR about 3 times!  I sort of hog it now ;)

And then, 4 months later, we moved from a storage unit and the bro + sis in law’s house to Denver. 

And now we’re off to Ft. Collins….see ya when we get there!!  Or probably in a day or so, once we get the internet hooked up!

Have a great long weekend!

I love that picture of puppy Kenna...and a Lebowski birthday party? So fun. The cupcakes look amazing. James' kickball team names themselves the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers for the first couple of seasons. :)

Happy moving!

Hi, Ash! I'm a new reader to your blog this summer. I'm loving it. :-) You are the driving force behind me having just bought my weight in assorted nuts so I can start whipping up homemade nut butters.

Have an awesome move; can't wait to read more once you're all hooked up.

September 6, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKristen @ Kristen, Sweetly

Good luck on the move! :)

Good luck with the move, sweet friend!

I love Fort Collins! I'm a Seattlite now, but spent several years in FC. It's really biker friendly with paths and bike lanes, close to hiking up Poudre canyon, and has a cool independent movie theater downtown (Lyric Cinema Cafe). Best of luck in your move - I'm sure you'll love it.

Looks like Eric has lost some weight compared to last summer!! Love the photo recap!! Hurry back to gchaT!!

September 7, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKelsey

Oooh thanks for the tip about the movie theater! :)

September 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAshley

LOL!!! Love it!! Hope your nut butters are a success. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for saying hi!!! :)
