Holy Hiatus Batman

So apparently my summer has gotten the best of me... and I just realized I haven't posted since the beginning of June. A lot has happened, mostly nothing too exciting.

My move is finally complete, after an absolutely awful experience. I will NEVER use professional movers again! I am still in the process of trying to put in my formal complaint with the company. Fun fun process. My roommate is pretty cool and we get along well enough.

I have been exploring more of Boulder and the surrounding areas. Found this awesome bike park, wiped out hard core! It was a blast. The bike park has a awesome kids park with sweet spinny things. Went to fireworks at the CU stadium, drove through some of the RMNP. Saw my first live and in person humming birds.

I fell in love with a pup at the humane society and was soo very ready to take her home, but obviously I work too much, and at the time she was there did not have a stable home. One day I will be able to have a dog. :-(

I ran in Warrior Dash, which was awesome and cannot wait to do it again next year! I walked with a bunch of fun people in the Electric Run. I need to start doing some more short runs because the stress from the move has had me out of the gym for two months... I say short runs because I went to the doctor and was told I am not supposed to be running because my knees are all sorts of messed up. Also, my pole is up in the new place and I am determined to get back on that regularly!

I am missing family and friends like crazy, but am making new friends here, and am thankful for my work family. They really make it less difficult. Plus, it being so amazing beautiful sure helps.

I gave my 3rd speech at toastmasters, which I was very proud of.  Now its time to start thinking about #4.

I'm watching Rick's (guy at work) daughter near the end of September and then immediately following I will be house/dog sitting for Paula (boss). Feels nice that people who hardly know me trust me with their most precious possessions.

Been hanging out with my friend Tony a bunch, which is fun... keeping me busy. Plus he reminds me a lot of home, so its nice.

Spilled my guts in letter form to Matt... still waiting on that full response...

Going to a women's start up conference tomorrow, hoping I can make some important contacts to help me move-on to bigger and better things with the start of the new year... Sadly I did the math today and even working three jobs I took over a $10k pay cut from last year. :-/


I know this is very short and chaotic, but I just wanted to give a brief update. I have a lot of work to get done so I can enjoy my next two days off! WOOHOO!

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day. Will try to update soon!
