Denver

Well, here we are in Denver. We've both decided that we really like it here. It's beautiful and full of friendly people. Here are some pictures of our apartment. They really don't give an adequate view of the place, but it's really nice and we love it. For the first time in our married lives we actually have a washer and dryer. That will be especially nice with the upcoming baby. We also have a balcony where we keep our grill and bikes.

After we moved here, we had about a week before Clayton started school. Most of that was dedicated to unpacking, switching over driver's licenses, etc. But we did take some time to have some fun. We decided to take a free tour of the Hammond's candy factory. They make mostly hard candies and it's all hand-made. It was a lot of fun to see how it was all done. We took a few pictures and thought we would share them with you.

This first one is a picture of the factory. It actually isn't very big. There is one room for candy production and another one for packaging. There's a small candy store and a snack bar for visitors. That's about all.

This second picture is one of Clay and myself holding a 5 lb strawberry sucker. No, we didn't buy it. Something like that runs for $75 dollars, and we don't need that much sugar. We thought it would make a fun picture though!

School has now started for Clayton. It's very time intensive. It's interesting, though, and I enjoy when he shares some of his knowledge with me! For those of you who want our new address, here it is:
