The Tydingco’s are headed to EUROPE! I’m sure you’re asking yourself, didn’t Ty retire already? The short answer is no. Ha! Although he was ready to drop papers (again) after his time was up in Colorado, Ty’s assignment team dangled some incredible overseas “must-fill” positions in front of us and we couldn’t pass on the … Continue reading Chocolate, Waffles, Fries!
Over the span of about 18 months, I tackled a major renovation project on our A-Frame cabin in the Colorado mountains. We encountered countless setbacks, hurdles, issues, and any other synonym you can think of for things not going according to plan. It was tough both mentally and physically, but we made it through and … Continue reading Blood, Sweat & Tears
This may be the the longest break between posts since I’ve started the blog. To be honest, I’ve had this on my to do list for months but dreaded the logistical challenges of uploading, transferring, converting, and sorting through pictures.

These months have been filled with lots of laughs, learning experiences, … Continue reading Investing

What everyone hoped would be a temporary change to our daily lives turned into ‘this is just how it is now.’ I don’t think things will ever quite be the same, but hoping these vaccines can get … Continue reading COVID Made Me Do It
I could probably skip the intro and just write ‘PANDEMIC’ and you’d generally know what types of updates would be in this post: pictures of us at home, wearing masks, working remotely, etc. Although I have a lot of those things in here, we also moved back to CO from IL, Ty transitioned from active … Continue reading The World As We Know It
It’s been sometime since I’ve looked at our blog and realized I had a post teed up and never published it. Seeing how differently we lived just a few months ago make me appreciate all the little things we took for granted like eating out and traveling. Here’s a look into the simple times we … Continue reading The Little Things
What a year it has been. We’ve crammed as much as we could into 365 days. Here’s a look at the last couple of months in 2019. Phantom of the Opera – Denver Performing Arts Our gift to dad for his birthday was tickets to see the Phantom of the Opera – one of our … Continue reading Ending 2019 with a Bang
