So I failed at blogging about my summer adventure in Colorado. I was too busy working my butt off with kids all day, and then trying to balance out finally living in the same place as my boyfriend. So I apologize.
But it's time to start over, since I just moved to Colorado... for realsies.
John Paul and I didn't take as many pictures this time on the road trip...
Except this one. JP's victory pose after successfully getting the tarp on top of my car backpack, as I liked to call it. Yes, this is all I brought with me! I was pretty proud of myself... Packing was a nightmare but I managed to really go through everything I own and donated a ton of stuff to Goodwill and my little sister's college apartment. :)
I got to Denver on January 12th, and on the 13th, one of my best friends from college, Alan, flew in to help me move. It was so nice to have him here.... he and JP basically had craigslist adventures and picked up a bunch of furniture for me while I worked. It was wonderful. So I went off to work on Monday and came back to couches, a TV stand, coffee table, and a bed! I was spoiled. I'm living in a little one-bedroom apartment about 5 minutes away from JP - I'm totally loving it and enjoying making it my own space now. Oh, and work - I'm still working at the theatre I worked at over the summer! We're doing Thoroughly Modern Millie and it's been a lot of fun already.
Anyway, when Alan was here we took him out for a pre-birthday celebration. We found this new place called The Punch Bowl - and it's the best!! It's a bar, but there are photo booths, darts, shuffle board, bowling, foosball, ping pong, pool, arcade games... Holy moly. It was such a blast.
(JP and Peter face off in foosball while Alan photobombs.)
Anyway, I'm still looking for more work, but I'm happy! I started with a company that is basically an agency for finding voice and piano students. I taught my first piano lessons EVER yesterday, believe it or not. I was so terrified, but I ended up having a blast! I taught an 8-year-old girl and then her mom. It was so different but I really enjoyed myself so I'm excited to keep going with piano lessons and see how that grows.
Aside from that, JP and I are doing great and enjoying being in the same place. I am loving Colorado, even the SNOW -- which is crazy to drive in, California people. Holy moly. But it's all beautiful and I love it. Missing my Wilson World family and my SOCSA family, but I'm where I'm supposed to be right now! God is good!
More to come soon.
xoxo
