An update...

Hello to everyone again!

I know I've been slacking on my blogging duties, but here's a little update.

Things at work have finally slowed down, but almost to a pace that is too slow. Pretty much everyone has wrapped up their field projects and is back in the office full time. It's been kinda nice to be in Denver for a month or so now without having to travel anywhere else for work.

A few weeks ago, my old roommates from MN, Kelsey and Alana came out to visit me which was so much fun!! We went out on the town a couple nights and also made it up to the Red Bull Soap Box Race at Red Rocks park which was really fun. It was basically a soap box race for adults where they constructed these crazy racers and dressed up all funny to go thru the race. There were a few good crashes and a lot of laughs. We also went hiking down at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs which was a lot of fun too. The weather was great while they were here.

Last weekend, I headed up to Frisco, CO with a girlfriend from work for Halloween. I dressed up as a witch and we went to this little dive bar that reminded me so much of the Fulda bar..haha. We stayed at this really old and creepy bed and breakfast and really had a good time.

This Sunday is my birthday and my roommate and a few other girlfriends are going to this Holiday kick-off champagne brunch at one of the hotels here in Denver. Evidently, it is a Denver tradition and some guy cuts the cork off a champagne bottle and pours it down a 4-story high champagne glass fountain...should be really fun.

I'll be back in MN for Thanksgiving. Thursday-Sunday in Fulda and then Sunday afternoon and evening in St. Paul so I'm excited to see family and friends!

Hope everyone is doing well!
