My Exciting Life

[Hello from Apartment 203!]

Once again, I have procrastinated in updating this blog. I believe I left you off last time with my drive out to Colorado. There hasn't been a ton of exciting stuff that has happened out here...yet.

I spend my first few days staying in Mike and Tim's apartment while I waiting for our application for the new apartment to go through. In the meantime, I filled out job applications and Mike, Ryan, Tyler and I went to Eldorado Park one day. We hiked for a few miles and took some good, Colorado-ish pictures. Then we drove home.

[701 28th St. Denver, CO 80205. Our unit is in the middle on the middle level.]

Around that time, our application went through and Tyler and I moved into the new apartment. (Mike is moving in too, but not till the end of the month). A couple days later I found some sweet furniture on Craigslist (see, I told you my life here has been exciting!). Then I applied for more jobs. Then I did homework for the first time in a year and a half. Then I applied for more jobs. Oh ya, and Tuesday nights are "wing night" at Wing Stop so I've gone there a couple times now with the crew (a bunch of Mike's friends).

[Some of the Craigslist furniture. I bought it from a guy who is

moving back to Michigan to go to law school.]

I was also greeted to the state with a big bear hug full of expensive general maintenance car repairs. I felt like a champ calling a couple places and having them fight back and forth in order to provide the best quality at the lowest price and thereby getting my business. Now my car is in full working order.

Some friends from Iowa were in town for a wedding and brought my bike out for me. I hadn't ridden my bike in years but I've been riding it around lately. It's fun. And healthy. And cheaper than paying for gas.

Yo! Speaking of cheap stuff, 2% milk out here is like $1.50 a gallon! That's so cool.

I had a job interview yesterday (Thursday). I haven't found out if I got the job, but it's the best lead I have so far so I'm praying it works out. It's for a social-worker type position. I'll give more details if I get the job.

This afternoon I'm going to help my buddy Greg do some roofin' at his sister's house. The sun is out and the weather is warm, so it should be fun.

Tonight I might be going to a Colorado Rockies game (Gerty, that's baseball). After spending a year trying to be a Tiger's fan (Go Cubs!), I now get the opportunity to pretend to cheer for the Rockies. Don't get me wrong, I loved going to the Tiger's games each and every time I went, but I didn't know a thing about the Tigers until I moved to Detroit. Too bad Cecil Fielder was hurt all season, I would have loved to see him play.

Ok, homework time. Peace out, America!
