Fall

Today is the first day of Fall. It is a gorgeous day in Denver, and I am so thankful!

Fall is so short in Colorado, that you really have to take the time to enjoy the season. By mid October the snow is here (hate that part!), and you're counting down the days until May, when Spring finally arrives!

Last year I attempted to learn snowboarding, thanks to my friend, Chris. Now atleast I can enjoy some aspect of snowfall.

This year I have also added an SUV to my arsenal... no more Ford Focus slipping and sliding all over the road!

But, back to Fall! I am really looking forward to heading to Maryland on Friday, and enjoying some incredible East coast Fall weather! Not to mention seeing Amy, Kate, Courtney, & Jill!

Roommates

So last night we had a 5603 S Huron roomie dinner. I of course had met each one during the process of finding roommates, but they had never met eachother.

We all met at the house so they could see the progress, and the reason why their move-in date got pushed back from Sept 15 to Oct 15. Then we headed to dinner.

It was an eye opening, and really fun time of getting to know one another.

We are all extremely different people. But, I think what we all realized last night is, this community will be helpful to all of us in some way. One of us may be getting married soon, the other leaving a relationship, two of us are living with family currently and ready for the transition to having our own space again.

The honesty & vulnerability were intense, especially in our first meeting.

I am really excited to live with these women. My life will be changed because of it, I know. Looking forward to seeing that unfold.

Thanks for being my roomies, Leah, Cheri, & Kristi!

Ten Years

I was all set to go to my ten year high school reunion in MD at the end of the month (plane ticket booked and everything). This morning when I logged into myspace, there was a bulletin saying that our reunion had been cancelled due to lack of interest.

Well if it doesn't happen on our ten year anniversary, I doubt it will ever happen.

Wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that we now have myspace and facebook to keep us connected. Makes it less important to see people every ten years.

Here's to the ones I'll still see that weekend even if it's cancelled! See you soon... Amy, Kate, Courtney, Jill, Maureen, Cristi, & Christy!

Birthday Eve

28 arrives tomorrow. Boo!

Anyway, wanted to give an update on several items from my last post.

Here it goes...

-All three original roomies are still moving in on October 15th! God is GOOD!

-Realized I was a week ahead of myself on the 1/2 Marathon training schedule, so the 8 miles will be run tomorrow (only had to run 6 on my long run last weekend)!

-All the DNCers are gone! Woo hoo! Denver is back to normal. And I will definitely be switching my party affiliation after this election.

-Top secret website is still under construction. Stay tuned...

-21 days until I see Amy, Kate, Courtney, & Jill! Happy ten year reunion NCHS!

-Still learning to trust God. Still handing over my struggles daily, sometimes every minute of the day!

-Looking forward to an awesome weekend, beginning this evening. Lots of fun and friends! Look for pictures next week!

-Reading The Shack. I'll let you know.

Happy Friday!
