Holy sheet, it's June!

"Don't take my advice. Or anyone's advice. Trust yourself. For good or for bad, happy or unhappy, it's your life, and what you do with it has always been entirely up to you."

Things that are exciting me right now:

1. Colorado- of course that would be number 1.

2. Sam Bam's grad party this week

3. Seeing my brother and his wife next week

4. Seeing Kaskade, and DMB the following week

I love my life. Byyyeeee! 

CO love.

I'm going to start by apologizing for the ridiculous amounts of Colorado posts that are going to be surfacing during the next few months :) 

I have had thee best day. This summer, I am nannying for a family with two little girls, every Wednesday and a handful of Fridays, for a lady who actually used to babysit me when I was little. I took today off to watch the girls but ended up not having to. What to do with a Friday off?? 

Joel and I got to sleep in together, which we rarely get to do. That right there was a perfect start to my Friday. He made me breakfast and we spent the morning/early afternoon going through his things and his brother's things and set aside everything we want to bring to Colorado. This of course, made the move more real. I am dying of excitement. And now thinking of how I'm probably going to be an emotional wreck my last couple weeks working at Hudson Kindercare. 

After getting my much needed oil changed, eating a delicious salad and trying a new beer, I am on a roll with the Colorado research! 


A few days ago, our 'trial' trip to Colorado was official! We're going to Breckenridge for a week in September and staying at a resort in the mountains. Lets say that again, resort in the mountains. Joel's mom set us up with one of her timeshares, like she did for us when we went to Spain. If you aren't aware, Breckenridge is about an hour and 20 minutes outside the Denver area. We figure with our great deal of cost ($270 for the entire week) that driving around like crazy and spending money on gas will somewhat even the expenses out. We are taking my car, verses flying and then renting one. Like I said, we have no idea where we want to live, so this week will consist of way too much driving. I am slowly learning that a lot of people that I've met in my day, have made the move to CO. So me, being the planner I am, have been asking everyone and their mother, who lives there, to tell me everyy opinion they have of Colorado. I am the one going out on a limb, never having been there. I've been told that Highlands Ranch and Littleton are awesome suburbs and great neighborhoods. We don't want to live super far from Denver and they are just south. And the most exciting part: there are 13 Kindercares between Highlands, Littleton and Denver itself. One of those Kindercares has got to want me to work for them! ;) If you haven't caught on by now, I've been working for Kindercare for almost 4 years now and want to continue to work for the company and just transfer to one out there. This is also what scares me.. I adore everyone I work with and have high standards now in the work place. I've always thought how spoiled I am to get along with everyone I work with and consistency enjoy everyone's company, even if we spend 40 hours a week together! And my bosses! Don't even get me going on how amazing they are to work for. It makes me nervous for something different. But then again, that is the adventure in it, I guess!


So the week we're there, will be spent looking for places to live and most likely interviewing at Kindercares. Ahhh, can we just go now? 


Did I mention that my mom and dad are joining us the week we are there? They are. I need my mother with when it comes to making life decisions aka apartment shopping (don't make fun of me). My dad had planned on going hunting there this fall and that fell through so he was fast to jump on the CO bandwagon when he learned we were going. 


This deserves bigger font: I am soo excited to start this adventurous chapter of my life. And who better to do that with than the person I love?
