I'm here! I'm a Boulderite!



Watch "Juno" Movie

Hi all! Sorry I've been slackin' on this. Things have just been so hectic lately that I haven't had the chance to write.

So my mom and I drove up right before new years. It only took us about 2 full days and we drove all the way to Kansas City before we stopped in a hotel to sleep. It was crazy! Driving through Kansas was the most boring 11 hours ever, nothing but rolling hills and farm houses - I did see signs for the Oz Museum though! Bailey was a trooper the whole time, all he did was sleep! As soon as the car started moving he would zonk out!

When we got to my place we decided to drive up to Rocky Mountain National Park so my mom could see some big mountains. It was SOOO cold that day, only 5 degrees! At the top of the mountain it was snowing hard. Bailey absolutely loves playing in the snow. I thought he'd be prissy about it but he totally wasn't! We saw lots of Elk and some other strange looking animals that I don't know the names of. It's one of the most breath-taking sights ever and I don't I'll ever get over just how majestic those mountains are.

I love my place. I'm truly blessed to have such an awesome view of the foothills. Not to mention I've always wanted to live in a loft (sounds so cool to say "my loft", haha)

The Job is great, I'm finally getting the hang of things and started to make some money! We're going to Las Vegas next month for a trade show and I'm really excited. can't wait to represent my new company and meet up with some clients!


Soooo I went furniture shopping this weekend with my new friend Morgan. She's a girl from work who is from Maine. She's so nice and it was really cool of her to help me pick out furniture. I ended up getting a red couch that looks like it came out of a Pottery Barn catalog, along with an overstuffed red matching chair and an ottoman. I also got a bedroom set (4 poster black distressed bed and tv armoire)










it's sooo pretty! Can't wait for you to see it! I have some other decorating ideas too. I just bought a few paper star lanterns that I"m going to be hanging from my bedroom loft and maybe in my windows, should create a nice mood lighting :). I'm also going to put some pillar candles in the ledge of window above my slider.


I love that I can walk to work everyday and that the people at my job are so freakin' cool. I love the dry weather that does wonders for my skin and takes the frizz out of my hair. I love the friendly demeanor of people here. I love the beautiful scenery. The only thing I would change is to have all my old friends out here. That would be so perfect. Remember you are welcome to visit anytime and they have cheap tickets on the Frontier Airline's website.

I love you all and once I get my place decorated, I'll take lots of pictures at my housewarming party and post them!
