Mountain Madness

It has been a busy last couple of weeks... Today is my day off and then tomorrow,
back to the craziness and the hustle and bustle of the busy Mountain town. Scott
and I both have two different schedules for once...it will take some getting used to
he mainly works nights and I will be working days and two nights a week with him
at ember. So far so good I am now employed for Vail resorts at a restaurant called
SEVENS it is actually on peak 7@ 10,010 ft and the only way to get there is the
gondola or a shuttle the perks are pretty awesome Season pass for me and the
hubby and discount ski passes for family and friends..discounts on gear and food
and starbucks! Everyone gets jobs just for the season passes alone they are now
up to 1000 dollars a piece!

 The season is now here officially.. this weekend the Dew tour was in town and it
really did just pick up and just like that we are busy! Last night at ember we did
105 people crazy! Scott and I got up this am and took the bus to the gondola
and went up and got our passes and watched a little bit of the Snow boarders
it was really pretty cool!  In the past 2 days and total by tomorrow we will have
about 18 inches of  Snow! y'all think your little 4 is enough? ha! No but seriously
I do love it and especially with Christmas 5 days away:)

 Last week I spilled coffee all over Dell and now she will no longer upload pictures
and I am bummed...took a lot of great pics of the Snow and the doggies and sledding
there is a piece that we have somewhere that will maybe work but, until then no pics
to be posted only the ones we already have so I will post a few of those.

 Hope everyone is having a great holiday season so far! Miss you and the Nati too :)

The halls are Decked!

Hope everyone is having as much fun decorating this year! All of our Christmas stuff
has a musty smell and although it looks like Christmas it sure doesn't smell like Christmas!

Christmas cards and adapting to CHANGE

Well looks like our Christmas cards may be a little late this year :( bummerville. We are not really
 going to get our Christmas shopping done either...So maybe this year we will send everyone Happy
 New Year gifts:) So we will have more time and we do not have to wait in the painfully long
 lines at the Post office...Seriously take what you would normally wait in a Cincinnati postal line
and X it by 100! We have been experiencing change in some interesting ways here in the mountain
town..

 Garbage. We now have new meaning to taking out the trash... We used to just go outside and
 bam the trash was taken out! Now we have a key to a garage that is about two blocks away.
 The Plus side is we get more exercise and we no longer have to take out anyone Else's garbage!
 Oh, and we will never miss the garbage truck again!

 We now have to drive to get the mail, drop the mail and no more ups man :( and really long
 lines.
    

Christmas in the Mountains

We missed our fall and drove straight into Winter Wonderland....and just like that
 it is Christmas. The Lights the Snow... the whole town is Christmas! It really is a
Beautiful sight to see and I wish just wish all of you who ever you are? (Not sure anyone
is really listening?)Could be here with us. Instead we will both be working and who knows
when we will celebrate Christmas but, at least we have all month to soak it all in!

We Love our New Dog park!

Just a couple of pics from our very first visits to Carter Park! We go just about every day
now.... today we got 4 inches of powder and Gus was loving it...unfortunately Zoey went back
to the car they Blast for avalanches pretty much every day and she really gets pretty upset :(

Our First Snowman!

One month ago today we packed up all of our treasures and our beloved animals and moved out

 west! We got all settled in started work had our first house guests come and celebrate Thanksgiving...
 with a half working oven we managed to bake two pies from scratch pumpkin and apple while Scott
 went to ember to cook the Turkey and all the fixings...my mashed potatoes were over worked but, we
still managed to gobble gobble... The dinner table looked fabulous and the feast was perfect with the
right amount of food and wine we had a very blessed thanksgiving.

 Our house is now empty... Dan and Nancy left us on Tuesday and it was back to the grind getting my resume
together start back to work at ember (still in training) everything will fall into place just got  to have the right attitude about it all. Ember is such a cool restaurant with a very unique menu full of flavor and the ambiance is
warm and inviting..Nancy and I enjoyed a very nice dinner on Sat. and the Sous chef came out of the kitchen
to say hello! After dinner we enjoyed a few culinary cocktails at the bar.... everyone there is really nice and
Scott is loving his new position. We miss Dan and Nancy they were just what we needed and the dogs really loved having them here.

 We got out the Christmas decorations and loaded up the c.d. player with all of our Christmas tunes and
 started to deck the halls... all of our decor. smells musty like the basement on Eastern ave. so my next purchase will be a Christmas tree like candle! The house looks great just a few finishing touches like hanging
the mistle toe :) Will post pics soon! 

 Here are a few things I miss about Cincinnati..... Our Mondays at Uncle Bills, Ault Park,4910 Eastern ave apt.# 3, Lookout joes, Indian food (baba india), Deweys Pizza, Lucy blue pizza (by the slice),my beautiful hairdresser KarenNeuhaus, 7 hills resale shop. Just to name a few..

 Hope that everyone is having a great start to their Holidays :) We miss you and love you all.
