Snow Day

Growing up in California, I was always jealous of the kids that got snow days.  The thought of having school cancelled sounded great to me.  I always loved visiting my grandparents in the winter when they had snow, we had fun skiing, making snowmen, and just playing outside.  I wanted snow.

I have seen the light.

I experienced my first snow day, and although I loved being able to stay home from work and Josh got to stay home from school, it wasn't all I expected.  We started by going to the clubhouse and playing racquetball.  It was great to get out considering that didn't happen yesterday. We then decided to take an adventure and get some shelves for our living room.  Probably not a good decision, but I needed to get out. We went to a couple of stores and ended up with everything else we needed, but no shelves.  Best find of the day: waffle cone maker.  Unfortunately I am no good at making waffle cones.  They all fell apart or burned.  But some of the pieces tasted good, so I am still happy with the purchase (after all it was only $4).

I think the foot and a half of snow will start melting tomorrow, or at least I hope it does since everyone has told me how mild Colorado winters are.

I guess I should be grateful though for the snow because it means I get a whole week off of work, which is crazy and Josh gets a 4 day weekend.

I'm sorry to all those that read this blog, we really don't do anything great so we never have anything good to say, but we are enjoying our time in Denver.

They changed how you put pictures in a blog and now I'm all messed up! I don't know how to get them straight and in the middle... And I tried to get a good one of the girls, but they all wanted to move a lot and not look at me so it was a challenge...

We had a great weekend in Utah.  It was very short, but it was nice to see family and get away for the short time. We had fun getting to know Zoey, she is such a cutie and so much fun! Now It's back to school and work and the cold cold weather.

Graduation

Well, I know this happened over a month ago, but I thought doing this now was better than never.

So, I graduated and I am now just posting pictures. Mainly because I felt like I should post, but don't have anything good to share, and I just got the pictures from my mom, so I'm just getting around to it.
notice Josh not in the picture.. he thinks we're crazy for the jumping pictures.
my wonderful parents who helped me get through may trials I had during the 3 years I was there. I am glad I was able to call my mom and get her help to fix my problems, even if she did laugh at me about it. I am really grateful that they are so supportive of me and the love that they have for me. They are amazing and I wish we lived closer and could visit more often.

side note: today is my dad's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!
I am glad that Josh made me graduate. I know he'll comment on how I said that, but it was really hard for me. There were many times I wanted to quit and not finish, but he knew how important it was for me to finish and graduate, and I am really glad he did. Thank you!
my favorite people. enough said.

I love going to the Temple. I love seeing how beautiful it is inside and out. I love feeling close to my family and knowing that I'll be with them for eternity. I love having a caring husband. I love family night at Grandma's. I love that there is a plan for us.

Downtown

A couple of weeks ago we went and ventured to downtown denver. We had fun walking around the shopping area and taking the lightrail. While there, we went to a Rockies game and had a lot of fun. It was a really hot day, but by the night it felt good. Anyways, just an update.

So far so good

We're in Denver... Josh is enjoying school enough at the moment, but we both expect it to get much harder and more time consuming (which has proven true already in the past couple of days), so I look forward to feeling like a widow, as so many have described it to me... I can't wait... I really wish these next three would pass right now.
I have been looking for a job, I had an interview yesterday and I went and tried to do more applications today, but I was told I had to do them online, but it didn't work... I guess I should try again, but it really isn't all that fun. The internet no longer works in our apartment, so I am currently at the library. Luckily I love the library and enjoy seeing how fast I can read the books I check out. If you have any good books you'd like to share with me I would greatly appreciate any help.
Our ward seems nice, one of the sisters in the RS presidency works at the club I applied for, so she put in a good word, I hope something comes of it, the club looked really nice and mostly older people go there, which I love! ( I really do).
Just thought I'd give an update on where we were. Denver has been having good weather, so people should come visit us!
