So I finally have something in the works. Keep your fingers crossed that it all works out for me.

I'm off to Denver for the 4 day weekend and I can't wait to see Dave! We're going to go to a tree lighting ceremony, hopefully go skiing, and just enjoy Denver. The nice thing is that I will see him less than 2 weeks after I leave then again about 1.5 weeks after that. So this part should be easy. Just hope I can get out to Denver as soon as possible! I'm so ready to be living there.

A GREAT week ahead

I am SOOOO glad this week has come! It seems like its taken months for it to get here.

Monday - Work, hit the gym, watch MD B-Ball with an Abbey Ale in hand (New Belgium beer rock!)
Tuesday - Work, Watch MD B-Ball ,try and go for a run
Wednesday - Work, Watch MD B-ball, Shadow boxing at the Gym
Thursday - Hop on a plane t0 Denver and enjoy a wonderful Turkey dinner with Dave
Friday - Go to the tree lighting ceremony in Littleton

So exciting!!!! I can't wait to be in Denver for thanksgiving and Xmas...it will actually fully feel like Xmas there.It gets cold enough here in the AV that you get that feeling, but Denver will be even better. Even though I lived in FL for nine years I managed to never spend a Xmas there. How do you spend Xmas in 80 degree weather!!!!? I hope we'll be on the sloes on xmas day!

Sprinkles!

I've never been to Sprinkles and I never really understood all the hype with those darn cupcakes. But my mom expressed interest in going there. So yesterday we braved all the congestion on Santa Monica Blvd to track down Sprinkles in Beverly Hills. I am not a good city driver...way to impatient! Anyway we found it and I have to say it probably was the best cupcake I've ever had. The exciting thing is it looks like they are planning on putting one in Denver.

Sequoia NP

This could possibly be one of my last visits to Sequoia NP as a cali resident! My mom is here visiting and shes never been, so I had to take her! We did just about all the touristy things in the parks. Including Moro Rock! If you've never been it's a big rock that sticks out over the hills and you get a great views of the sierras. I did this about 4 years ago and was really freaked out. This time I wasn't freaked out. I think our hikes to half dome and Mt Whitney really helped with my slight fear of falling. Here's the photo from 4 years ago...



and me in 2009...


And one of my mom...


and just a couple more shots from the park..

Not A Good Day...

So maybe blogging will make me feel a bit better. We'll see.

I've been kinda of a mess today. My emotions are running wild. I want nothing more than to live in Denver. As everyone knows I've been trying to find a job out there to get me there. As I apply I never hear anything. I'm super frustrated and now starting to get worried. What if I can't find anything. It is hard being so far away from Dave. I keep wondering is there some way we can pull this off if I can't find a job. But I just don't know how that would happen. I told Dave that all I want for Xmas is a Job in Denver! Deep breath...right...calm down...it'll all be okay! ***Sigh****

Missing Denver

And Dave! I so love Denver. When I move there, I never want to leave. It's just so awesome and so beautiful.

We didn't do to much exciting this weekend. We actually went to the movie theater...I can't tell you the last time we did that! We saw Paranormal Activity. We also drove up to Ft Collins to go to the New Belgium Brewery...the ones that make Fat Tire! That place was so awesome. I love their mentality. They incorporate Green processes and they give employees bikes to try and encourage them not to drive when they are doing short errands, etc... I also loved the story of how Fat Tire started in a basement.

Anyway, Dave took this photo of me this weekend. It was so nice to be in the snow!
