Some fun differences from our TX home to our CO home...
- Air conditioning. We have NO air conditioning in our new house. Most places up here don't have it. Fans are our new best friends. Hooray for low electricity bills!
- Stairs. Next...
- Cell phone service. Sprint has horrible coverage here. When we get service, we are roaming. Yesterday we made the switch to AT&T (iphones!) and will be all set up with them when our phones come in. Our numbers are staying the same.
- Bicycles. Fort Collins has been ranked one of the top places to live (like...#6 at the lowest) and one reason is its bike friendliness. There are paved trails that take you under major roads and can get you most places in town. When the bike trails can't get you there, the major roads have bike lanes going each direction. Josh and I rode our new bikes to campus and back (6 miles round trip) using these trails. Since we are now a 1-car family, one of us will be biking very often. Probably Josh.
- Wake-up time. 6 a.m., without fail. The sun shines brightly through our window at 6 a.m.
