These are the big events that have happened in the past few months:
- I got a NEW JOB! Well, same company - but a new position within a much better, cooler department. I am now the senior administrative assistant to the Rockies MidCon Business Unit Manager. Sounds spiffy huh? But really so far its been kinda slow but the work environment is so so so SO much better! I've been in this position as of October 5th.
- Will and I moved apartments! We no longer live in West Wash Park. We now live in the Sheridan/Englewood area. This has come with a new ward - which we haven't quite adjusted to. Its hard going from such a small, tight-knit ward to a large ward where people aren't so friendly yet. We have a feeling we will be moving again shortly.
- Will and I went back to Washington in August for a long weekend. He was the photographer for his friend's wedding down in Cottage Grove, Oregon. While he did this all day on Saturday - I hung out with my parents all day. It was a pretty awesome, relaxing weekend. Well at least for me. : )
- I went home again (by myself this time) back in September for my friend Breanna's wedding. It was a blast! I saw lots of good friends that I haven't seen for a long while. It was a nice reunion. I also attended my high school's homecoming football game. That was nostalgic .... but weird. I hadn't been to a homecoming game since I was IN high school.
- We got a puppy .... but then had to give the puppy away. He was awesome, but our beloved cat Abby did not get along with him and she was not adjusting ... at all. She stopped eating and would not come out from under the bed for long long periods of time. As good and happy this puppy was, Abby is our first child and she rules the house. This is not such a good bullet point, but it was a hard few weeks for us so it is worth mentioning.
- Will and I spent a nice weekend in Vail in August. We got to shoot a reception up in the mountains near Vail, and we took the opportunity to stay in the pretty town. I had never been before and I needed to see what all the hoopla was about. It was nice, but I bet its nicer in the winter with all the snow.
Notice all these bullet points are not in any sort of timeline? That's how my brain is these days.
Other than these few things (sadly I can't think of anything more exciting that has happened) life has been kinda boring. Will and I are becoming "that couple". We really need to find more hobbies to do together during the week. Our weeknights have become quite lackluster, especially now since its getting dark so early. I have "my shows" and Will just wants to play video games, so really we just alternate depending on whats on tv that night. We decided we needed more interesting things to do - so the other night we decided to go check out the local city recreation center. We've decided to start going to Open Swim after dinner this winter. I described my childhood to him - how no matter what the season was, I would go to open swim at the club all the time. Even when it was pitch black and dark and cold out - I would still want to go swimming because it was something fun to do. My parents would drop me off at the club after dinner throughout my childhood - and I loved it. I was that annoying kid that constantly talked to the lifeguards, I made "swimming buddies" that I would meet up with, and I have generally good memories of going to the club. We decided that we need to do more things like this as a couple, because when we have kids we want to already be in the habit of not sitting at home every evening staring at the tv night after night. We'll see how this goes.
Also, I haven't taken very many photos lately - but I'll post the few that I've taken since my last post in July in a separate post following this one. Maybe then I'll be all caught up and I'll post more often eh?
We have some more things in the works, but we need some more time to work the details out before saying anything out loud. In time folks......
Until then, Ciao!
