A new year, a new decade, a new state, a new home, and a new job! David and I welcome 2010 with enthusiasm and wish a fruitful new year for all our friends and family. We spent our New Year's Eve quietly in the comfort of our cozy townhouse. We got the movie "Up" and got take-out from local restaurant Beijin Tokyo, a great restaurant we'll visit often now that we've tried their food... yummmm! We saw the blue moon as we drove around. Blue moons on the last day of the year occur only every 19 years so what a great treat for the final day of the year!
On New Year's Day we lounged around a bit but then took a walk on the Rio Grand Trail, a 40+ mile trail that stretches from Glenwood Springs to Aspen. Hikers, walkers, bicyclists, cross country skiers, horseback riders, dogs (with owners), and snow shoers use this trail year round for commuting and recreation. No motored vehicles are allowed on this trail so it makes a peaceful and safe place to get some exercise and solitude.
We took photos and videos of the beautiful scenery including a gentle stream that follows the trail and the cross country skiers that were about. 
We noticed temperatures were not too bad. It was 32 degrees but no wind at all and we bundled up so we were quite comfortable the whole time. We still comment how much difference temperatures can feel with a lack of wind.
As we begin our new year, we look forward to new adventures, new seasons, and new opportunities in Colorado. We look forward to meeting new friends and hope that our friends from Amarillo will keep us up-to-date with their news. Happy New Year everyone and may you all have peace and joy in your lives in 2010!
