GOODBYE CAP HILL.


today, the townhouse in lowry is officially ours. 

when we moved to denver, everyone told us to live in capitol hill. it is near the city, you can walk everywhere and people are always out and about. for those reasons, it has totally rocked. see photos above of the cute mini-carts at our local grocery and the sunset at cheesman park, a literal half block from our front door. 

the reasons i'm so happy to be moving include: coin laundry, omnipresent smoke {of the cigarette and marijuana variety, which routinely cause me to wake up coughing}, a still broken disposal that ruined my collection of dishtowels, a peeping tom situation we had earlier this year, no air conditioning combined with 99+ temperatures, overhearing a drag race in our alley every sunday night {it's just like fast and the furious, for real} and 400 square feet crammed with stuff we never unpacked. my mother weeps that i shared that photo of our "storage unit".

it's been a crazy few months, but i think getting settled in a home will help us me feel more settled here in denver. suburbs, here we come!

our neighborhood.

as previously mentioned, i love our neighborhood. we're prob def gonna move when our lease is up in five months, but, still, capitol hill is great. 

i am obsessed with the weather we are having. this weekend we hit 70! seventy! we had basically 70 inches of snow last month, so i am ready for spring. to celebrate we took a walk {more than two miles!} around our area and took photos of all the beautiful, old buildings.

um, this is someone's house.

this is a museum of "the unsinkable molly brown"! do you remember, from titanic? we will have to visit that.

i love this brickwork!

and the last stop of the day: ice cream!

spring, capitol hill, denver: we love you. we love you, too - come visit! {quick, before it snows again!}
