Little bit of this and that. . .
I think winter is officially here. And I know it is hard to believe that when the temperature in Denver is supposed to hit a warm 70 today, but I can definitely feel the chilly bite of Jack Frost every morning when I get up to walk Tally. I seriously have to fight my way out of my warm bed (all while Brandon is cozied up and sleeping!) at six to be dragged around the neighborhood by Tals. . . and let me tell you that these mornings have become really cold! I actually wore my NorthFace down coat this morning cause I think it was only 20 degrees out! Brrrr!!
Speaking of neighborhoods….those of you that know me are really going to love this, let me tell you! After finally settling into a new apartment in Boulder over the past few months, I have made another decision: its time for my 12th move in 6 years. Ridiculous, right? I know, whats my problem? Well, this time is a lot more difficult for me. I left Steamboat knowing that it wasn’t what was best for me right now and headed back to Boulder, the area that I know and have lived in for a large portion of my life. Unfortunately, I have come to realize over the past few months that my life isn’t centered there anymore, and quite honestly, it is becoming a huge pain in the ass. Sure, I have lots of friends there and I still love the city: I wouldn’t be moving away from it if it wasn’t such a hassle, and am going to desperately miss living next door to the mountains. But my work is a half hour away, my boyfriend is a half hour away, my grad school is a half hour away, my sister, my parents, and my best friend are all at least a half hour away. And these are the people and places that I spend the majority of my time with. I went through three tanks of gas last week driving back and forth (just don’t ask Brandon how many he went through!) and I realized that I spend more time commuting in my car than I actually spend relaxing in my apartment. Something needs to give. So, I think that I am going to sublet my place in Boulder as of January 1, house sit for my parents through February while they do their traveling, and then settle into someplace new, someplace closer to the city and my loved ones. Thinking of maybe the Highlands or Cheeseman Park in Denver, or maybe a northern suburb like Thornton or Westminster. So, on that note…..anyone want to sublet an awesome one bedroom in Boulder?!! 😉
Went to Denver yesterday for the Obama rally….it was absolutely insane. There were over 100,000 people there according to the paper! Brandon had these delusions beforehand that he would be able to shake Obama’s hand: hardly! I was too short to even see the man!! We even put Angel up on Charlotte’s shoulders and she still couldn’t see him over the sea of people! It was so crazy how many people came out to catch a glimpse and support this guy. I don’t know much about politics except for my own opinions, but it sure seemed like he is a lock here in Colorado….I guess we will just find out!
