Well I guess since I have been in the Denver area for over 3 weeks now I had better give an update on what is going on in my life. I guess part of me wishes that I would have been able to stay in the Buffalo or Raleigh area but it just didn't happen that way. Sometimes I think that life would be much simpler if there were other people telling me what to do. I find it very easy to give others advice when they are facing big life choices. It just is harder when you have to make them for yourself.

My first week here started off pretty good. I arrived Sunday around 11:30pm and checked into the Hampton Inn and then got up the next morning and went to work. I didn't stay very long just wanted to check in and see if there was anything that I needed to do. I was able to pick up my phone a blackberry pearl (T-Mobil) Then I went out and looked for places to live. That night I stopped by the Institute building in Boulder and they gave me a lot of info on what was going on and who I should talk to about finding a place to live. The following few days I just went around the area and looked for places to live and ended up renting a room from some guy I met at the ward. I have to admit it is not the most ideal place on earth but you can't beat the price.


My first week of work was pretty slow because my boss was out of town and there wasn't much going on. It was also the lead up to the holiday weekend. I went looking at houses on Saturday of my second week. It was good to see what is out there and what types of homes and price ranges are available. I guess I need to look some more because I just didn't love anything too much. So what else can I say? On Labor Day I didn't labor I know dad must be very disappointed but I did drive out to Rocky Mountain National Park and see what was out there. I didn't do much but drive around and then head back but it was good just to get more of the area in my head.


This week I have been spending a lot of time getting things done for my boss and trying to get use to everything. I am sure as time goes on that I will get better at my job. We’ll see how things go.
