A Celebration of Firsts

The days have been full of many firsts since I got my new house!
am11My first official breakfast in the new house – leftover sammiches and coffee! This is the Pilgrim from Backcountry Deli in Old Town Fort Collins. Absolutely love this sammich!
am8It happened to be leftover from a collaboration brew day I was lucky enough to participate in at New Belgium! Brewing beer and free sammiches? This is the life!
am4The first sunset at my new house. Blindingly beautiful.
am5My first housewarming beer from Goose Island! I’m doing a little recipe development, and they were kind enough to send a few samples for me to try out before.
am6Some first decorating has been done as well! A beautiful pic of my favorite beer-centric family right where they belong.
amI also had Ethiopian food! I’m not sure if this really has anything to do with the new house, but it was definitely a first for me! Those baskets are actually the tables…
am1My bestie and I couldn’t figure it out, so we used the smaller, shorter tables next to the basket tables.
am7The first thing I actually baked in my house – cinnamon rolls on Easter!
am9My first visit to William Oliver’s Publick House for my first IPA by Horse & Dragon Brewing!
am10We were there to celebrate my brother’s first sip of 30 year old scotch to celebrate his first 30th birthday! Happy birthday, brudder!
am12I headed over to Verboten to say a quick hello and a nice sample of their award winning stout – Pure Imagination, and grab a few growlers for an evening with my bro, sis-in-law, niece and nephew.
am13Ain’t they cute?
am3Almost as cute as my handsome lil fella.
am15I had my first sip of Bhakti Chai with coffee added! Tastes like gingerbread cookies and happiness!
am17And the first kitchen table I’ve ever purchased! I loaded this into my house yesterday and enjoyed a freshly oven-heated frozen lasagna with my family. I’m nothing if not classy.
am19You guys have seen this before, I just think it’s pretty. And now, it’s time for the Colorado Avalanche’s first Game 7 of the playoffs!

What are some firsts you’ve experienced lately?

  1. Becki, too bad about your Avalanche. However, I hope you realize that even if they had advanced, they would be crushed by my Blackhawks, even worse than they’re currently crushing the Wild, your team’s usurpers.

    The place looks nice, though. 🙂
