Reasons why...

Today's Topic: Reasons Why I Am Loving My New Job

1. I enjoy the projects, am doing a good job on them (I think) and I can TALK about my work now!

2. These are small projects, so I get them done and feel a great sense of accomplishment.

3. I work in a brand new mirrored glass building and it is awesome. (Except I can't get in sometimes since I don't have a key yet.)

4. The breakfast burrito man comes Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I have never had one, I just think it's cool.

5. We had an ice cream social hosted by the building on my THIRD DAY at work.

6. People are starting to get to know me and talk or at least smile a little more and I am getting more comfortable with them as well.

7. There is a lady that offers "chair massages" (for a price) at least once a month to the employees of the tenants in the building.

8. The drive takes a little longer, but I get to see the mountains almost every morning and evening during this time so I don't mind. (Some days, there is too much haze or pollution to see mountains.)

9. My boss called me Linda today and things started to feel like "work" again. (Long story)


Reasons I Don't Like My New Job

1. I still really miss those WAMers I used to work with.


On another note:

I am really sorry we haven't gotten any of our wedding pictures printed yet. We have a mere 750 pictures on a CD to sort through and print and I just haven't had the time to get to them yet. I guess that's one of the bad things about having a photographer who gives us the right to every photo he took.

I will make it my mission to get the good ones printed by the time any family comes to visit. Bill and Barbara, this may be a stretch for you guys, but we will certainly do our best! :) In the mean time, here is one of my favorites.

Soul-Level Joy

Lately I’ve been blessed to notice myself experiencing soul level joy more and more. The best way I can describe it is just feeling happy at every level. Physical, emotional spiritual. It almost takes my breath away when I stop and soak it up. I wanted to capture one such moment here.   Lately Allie has been doing SUPER kind things (that I can not fathom myself doing at her age). For example, she brought one of her Happy Meal toys to dinner with us the other night at a restaurant and decided on her own that she wanted to give it away to a little girl sitting nearby. The joy on the girl’s face was priceless. Her grandma was stunned. Allie has such an incredibly generous spirit. She loves making others feel loved and special in her own 3 year old way. Sometimes she will also share her beloved French fries with Matt and I. 😱 Today we took Allie to the Denver Aquarium. This girl just loves to explore and “go somewhere” and we live in a great city to indulge her adventurous spirit. The...

Colorado Craft Beer Week

Matt and I decided to join some of our favorite local breweries yesterday at a craft beer festival to help kick off Colorado Craft Beer Week. It's no secret that craft beer is a huge part of the Colorado economy. Everybody just does it so well out here. It was nice to go to a smaller festival than the Great American Beer Festival where there are too many breweries to even get to every booth. Yesterday's festival felt more like a back yard barbecue. I even got to meet the hosts of the Craft Beer Radio show on AM760. There is a picture of me with Turk and the "Gubna" below. In addition to some good beer sampling, our tickets also included a meal of either beer can chicken roasted for hours on the grill (my choice) or a spicy brat (Matt's choice). The chicken was amazing. I even let Matt try some. :) I also had some fun and took some pictures at the light rail. (We were responsible and walked/rode the train to and from the event.) What a fun day! Even better was c...

Political Aside

I’m going to apologize in advance for making this blog political for today. There is just one recent development I can’t help but post about. Last week, Congress passed a bill that made it a lot harder for credit card companies to take advantage of people through late fees and overlimit fees. Sounds great, huh? This bill would have been a lot better if there hadn’t been a certain “add-on” bill piggy backing on to the credit card legislation, making it legal for concealed weapons to be carried in national parks, as long as they are licensed and registered. Now unless you are going into a national park to shoot condors or bald eagles (which is ILLEGAL!), I cannot think of a single reason why you would need to have a concealed weapon in a national park. It’s not like they are huge hot spots for gangs, thugs and violence. National Parks are set up as a refuge for endangered species and a place where wildlife can live uninhibited. Where a hunting license would be required to shoot wildlife ...
