if there's one feeling i wish i could package up and share with the world
it would be the way nature and these mountains make me feel
we're going snowshoeing we're gonna be the first ones to make the snowshowing path in fresh snow
are you excited to snowshoe for the first time in colorado yeah let's go
do
as i reflect on 2021 i still cannot believe how we flipped our lives upside down
if you are new here we moved to colorado from minnesota in march of 2021.
although it was one of the scariest things we've ever done leaving our family our friends and
starting a completely new life in a new state we can wholeheartedly say it was the best decision of
our lives we are the first ones on these trails there's nobody here like we are the only car in
the parking lot the only people on the trails fresh snow oh that's so pretty you guys moving
away from loved ones to blaze our own path can almost seem like a selfish thing to do
but what i've come to realize is there's nothing wrong with seeking more joy and you should never
feel guilty about that seeking out places that light up your soul is nothing to be ashamed of
so last year when i was in the middle of the pandemic we were looking to buy snowshoes and they
were all sewed out just like so many other things last year like we couldn't find any we waited too
long so this year it was like august / september and i'm like we need to buy our snowshoes
super early because i didn't want to risk not having them again so this is so cool we're
finally using them we bought them on amazon they weren't super expensive or anything and they work
really good like i mean we can't really compare them because we've never owned snowshoes but
we're really impressed what do you think they work yeah yeah you like them stay on top of the snow
yeah we're loving this so much this is awesome so if you're looking for snowshoes and it's not
too late i'll link the ones below i don't know if they're still available of course but we'll see
as we head into 2022 there's just one thing i want you all to remember so this is our first vlog of
2022 happy and new year you guys you can't be afraid of change you may feel very secure in the
pond that you are in but if you never venture out of it you will never know what could be
holding onto something that is good for you
now may be the very reason why you don't have something better
in 2022 do all the things that bring you the most joy because you deserve it
it is 28 degrees out but i've always said how hot and warm the colorado
sun is we're like burning right now in the sun because it's so hot but it's 28 degrees
the sun is so strong and warm no way to even like get cold out here because it's just
the sun is the warmest feeling like i feel like i'm like by a heater right
now because there's a wood stove burning behind us these little cabins back here and so you got
to smell that and i'm hot and warm and it's 28 degrees and it's just a beautiful day so
we just got back it's weird to walk in normal shoes it's weird walking because they don't
have big snowshoes on our feet and i have to give a plug for my leggings as well i bought some like
winter hiking leggings on amazon and this is the first time i've actually went through like
deep snow with them on and they're not wet at all like they wicked off all the moisture
and they're super comfortable kept me warm and dry the entire time we were snowshoeing
so if you're looking for some winter hiking leggings these ones for amazon
they're super affordable i think they're like 30 dollars and they're they're awesome
so we just got back to fort collins and we decided we're gonna go out to dinner um new place we've
