You've Got a Friend

Let me introduce to you the friends that I have made since my move to Denver.

This is Squirrel #1 in the park.

This is Squirrel #2 in the park.

This is Squirrel #3 - been pretty flaky lately, so we don't hang out too often.

Let's just say that I'm still working on meeting people out here. Missing all my KU gals!

Cabin Fever

What happens when two siblings are stuck inside a one bedroom apartment together in the middle of winter...with a hedgehog-shaped candle?

This.

Feel free to post your own commentary for the photos.

Back on the Wagon

As you can see I've abandoned my first blog Windy Wit since my latest move to Denver didn't seem to fit the Windy City theme. So I'm introducing Mile High Marshall. Same premise as the first blog, but different city with different adventures.

Rather than explaining the last five months, I would like Mile High to be a fresh start. Most of you know the whole situation anyway so why rehash it all again. As for my recent move to Lakewood, Colorado (a suburb of Denver), all my experiences can be summed up in a fast forward paragraph.

Drove out to Denver on January 6th with Chris. Living with brother, Nathan, in Lakewood apartment. He bought a house and we moved in last Friday. (By the way, that makes move #6 in the last ten months - not recommended.) Still working part-time at the Anthropologie in Cherry Creek shopping area. In all my downtime (in no particular order), I have explored Green Mountain, roamed the town of Golden, checked out the Denver neighborhoods and other suburbs, drank at various bars in LoDo (in one night), walked around Washington Park, had a couple job interviews (nothing has panned out), sled face-first down a huge hill, caught up on all my daytime television, began writing a book (more on that in the future) and most of all...job searched. Have I expressed my feelings on how tired I am of job hunting? Because I am exhausted of resumes, cover letters, Monster.com, etc. Let's hope I have an upcoming blog telling you about my new, awesome job that involves consistent paychecks.

Well, that's my life in a nutshell as of now. I am hoping for some exciting action soon so this blog will become more interesting. In the meantime I will try to keep you entertained with my various antics around the house and in the city.

I've been poor about my picture taking, but here are some photos of my latest happenings.

Coors Brewery in Golden (still need to go on a tour there)

River walk through Golden during one of the many 65 degree days
(although the river stayed frozen)

Apparently, bicycles hitting pedestrians is a big enough problem here that signs are needed.

Visit to the capitol building, pretty magnificent
