What's Your 10-20?

The number "20" has been a bit charmed for us along our journey.

Our Bon Voyage party for leaving Phoenix was on February 20.

After tricking out the van, we left Loveland, CO on March 20.

And today, eight months later, on October 20, we received the news that our rental application was approved for our new home in Fort Collins, CO!


We get to move in on Saturday and we're super excited about our new home and our new city!  You should totally come visit us right away. We'll have an extra bed ready. And if quality time with Jon and Ellen is not enough incentive, check out all the stuff we're already in love with...

So what are you waiting for? Come visit! Asher will be waiting to take a walk with you!

  2. Jon & Ellen- your house looks super cute! We are tight on time for our visit next weekend, but will be back for a week after Thanksgiving and would love to come up and check out the place! So excited for you both. p.s. You are cordially invited to Addie's 1st Birthday party Friday, October 29th around 10am. My sister has picked out a park near her house so when I get more details, I can send them to you (or call :-) Looking forward to seeing you again!!
    Love, the Walkers

  3. @Leanne - Thanks for the tip on the margarita joint. We'll be sure to grab one before it gets too cold here. But today's weather was still absolutely perfect for a walk to the park - and the colors on the trees... pow! Looking forward to seeing you in July!

    @Jen: We'll be there! See your email...

I spy...

I was looking for directions on Google Maps today when I realized that Google had just added "birds-eye" views for Fort Collins. So, of course, I went to see what our home looks like. Much to my surprise, I found that Google just happened to catch us on the morning of March 29, 2012. Our moving day! So, you better think twice before deciding to run around naked in your back yard. You never know when the aerial photography plane is going to fly by!

DIY Wort Chiller

We here at Curious Souls H.Q. are always looking for ways to save a buck or two. So, when shopping around online for a wort chiller for home brewing, we found the following prices: $65 @ Midwest (plus shipping) $70 @ Northern (plus shipping) $39 @ Amazon (plus shipping) So, off to the hardware store... 3/8" (internal diameter) Vinyl Tubing (10 feet) = $4.15 Sink to hose adapter (varies based on your type of sink) = $4.79 3/8" X 20' Copper Tubing = $24.13 Vinyl Hose Coupler = $2.49 Hose clamps (x2)  = $1.70 Band-aids (x2 or x3 or x4) = $1.00 For a total of $38.26 (pre-tax, no shipping), we decided to roll our own. Here's how it went down... ( vid link ) And, of course, there is the joy of having made something all by yourself! Priceless & fun!

Chickens Are Scarier Than Crows, Didn't You Know?

The garden is in!  If our Scarechicken does its job, we will soon have a nice crop of heirloom tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, green beans, basil, parsley and thyme! Huge thanks to my parents for their help getting the area ready. It was a jungle!
