Life in Denver

For the past couple months I've been living in beautiful Denver. My absolute best friend in the world, Beth and I live in a little ghetto two-bedroom apartment and we LOVE it! We don't have a TV that is hooked up to watch stations and we use Internet that we steal from a neighbor. Our neighborhood is about a 15 minute walk from downtown and we are next to many coffee shops, independent restaurants and a big outdoor ice cream shop that is shaped like a milk tin. Life is grand.

Two weeks after returning from Costa Rica I was offered a job with Colorado Ballet for the Auxiliary and Special Events Manager, meaning that I mainly manage their special events (opening receptions, board dinners, etc). I accepted and the rest is history! I gotta say that it's alarming to say that I have a real job...when did I become a grown-up?? The last two months have been a period of adjustment with having to learn to work in a different environment with very different responsibilities. So far it has been fun and very different from working with Up with People. To be associated with a dance company that is as acclaimed as CB is not a bad gig though! Learning to live in one place again has also been an adjustment but it is treating me well so far. I'm excited to see what's ahead in this new chapter!
