Spillin The Beans

Ok, things are more official now, so I can let you all know what is going on. Didn't want to Jinx anything before by saying much.

In Feb I was offered a job with another company (we'll say company B). I was torn. I wanted to get to Denver but didn't want to leave my company. I actually fell apart on the airplane crying one day. I had to accept it cause I had nothing else going for me. About 2 weeks after I accept the job I get an email about a possible job opportunity with my current company. The job I accepted was contingent on contract award so I had some time to find out what this was all about. Turned out it was for a position I was really excited about and kept me with my current company. Then company B won their contract...uh oh..I now have a job in Denver!!!! But I have anther possibility that I really want. So I was in a tough and stressful situation of how to deal with it all. Finally I got some information that allowed me to feel more comfortable in making a BIG decision. It was risky, but I turned down the job with Company B. This was in late March. After lots of being patient and hoping things would work out I got my offer letter...signed it and sent it back. So for the 2nd time in about 3 months I now have a job in Denver! And I am super excited!

I am extremely lucky because I am getting everything I wanted. I am super excited to be reunited with Dave and to be living in Denver for the rest of our lives. We have no intention of ever leaving Colorado!

Good things come to those who wait, right!

Well, I am off to celebrate.

Lovin the City Life

So on Friday, I go to work and randomly decide to see how much an airline ticket is to Denver for the weekend. To my surprise direct flights were $149 leaving that night! Being that I don't mind being spontaneous I bought a ticket! Left work at 3 to go home and grab my tennis shoes and computer and drive to LAX. We spent Saturday wandering around Denver. It was kind of the Schanker Pub Crawl. We went to the Cheeky Monk (a Belgian bar), Great Divide, and Blake Street Tavern. Then it was off to the Avalanche Playoff Game. Unfortunately they lost. On Sunday we walked to North Cherry Creek to have Crepes for lunch. Then we walked over to the new Bike Kiosks to rent bikes. We rode the bikes into downtown and walked over to Coors Field to see the Rockies play. They won 8-3! Go Rockies! While we were there Dave got part of his bday present early - a jersey and I got a t shirt. It was a great weekend and I was really glad I went. Now I'm back in Cali - waiting for good things to happen.

Yup ...another VISIT to Denver

I should be out there soon. I hope! But this weekend was another visit. I promised Dave I'd come out to help him move to our new apt. It's in Cherry Creek...a really nice area of Denver. The exciting park is being able to live the "city" life. so on Friday was walked to a brewery for dinner. On Saturday we walked to a bakery to get cupcakes and then to dinner. Then on Sunday we decided to go to the zoo and we walked there too. There were a few trips over to super target as well. I decorated the apt too...put up photos and bought new bath rugs. I so love the way the bathroom looks right now..its all blue and brown. Hopefully I can carry everything over when we have a house out there. We're getting closer to being settled.

The Best City Ever!

Denver seriously Rocks! There is always something to do, something fun, something active. I'm looking forward to being here for good! Already excited about Memorial Day weekend...I forsee Baseball games and Denver Day of Rock in our future.

This weekend we hit up the beer festival at Breckenridge. It was freezing, but a ton of fun. I had to go buy hand warmers, then I was all good.
