First Post...

Hey everyone and welcome to our blog! I've been trying to get this started for a while, so hopefully it will all work out and will be a fun way to keep you updated. Well, we are doing great! We just moved to Colorado Springs last weekend and Tom started his new job today. So far so good! The weather here has been quite crazy though! It starts out perfect and beautiful and then in the afternoon it turns dark and dreary and storms like crazy for a while (30 minutes-1 hour) and then it clears up again. I was so excited about all the outdoor things there are to do, but I am a little nervous about going out on a hike or something and getting caught in a huge storm. At least it's good in the morning. Today we went on our first jog in Colorado and it was great. We just went around our neighborhood and found a nice trail to jog on. We are also planning on joining the Pikes Peak Road Runners organization together so we can run free 5ks and get discounts and stuff. It does seem like there will be so many fun things to go and do and see like touring the Air Force Academy, going to Garden of the Gods, we've heard the zoo is great, downtown looks like it'll be fun to walk around along with Old Colorado City. Anyway, the people are really friendly, there are dog parks for Maddie and I think it's finally sunk in that we'll be here for a while. Well, I'll try to add pictures and will try to do it regularly so check back often! I hope you're having a great day!!! ~Mel
