Some firsts.....

Well, this past weekend was a bit crazy. I had my first taste of the Denver weekend nightlife which I have to say is a little more out of control than what I'm used to on Grand Ave. in St. Paul.

Friday night I went out to a little music club and listened to a guy from work's band. That was really fun and I guess they are kinda famous around the Denver area. Very cool.

On Saturday night, my roommate and I hosted a BBQ, which was super fun and filled with food and laughter. We then ventured downtown, which was very fun. First of all, I learned that downtown Denver has a ton of bars and restuarants. It's some ridiculous number like 800 or something. So far, I've been to 6. I'll let you know when I've been to all 800. :) Their bar patios here are also pretty awesome. Some are as big as the gymnasium of Fulda High School, not including the inside part. I think I'll be able to manage the nightlife around here. Meg's friends are also really fun and genuine and there are definintly some that remind me of my friends back in MN. I think there are only more fun times ahead with them.

On Sunday, I had my first visitor...my friend Candace from high school drove through on her way out to moving to Las Vegas. We went out to dinner and she stayed over at my house which was great. Very nice to see a familiar face.

This coming weekend my mom and sister are driving down to bring me my last few boxes of stuff. Originally they were coming to help me move, but since I already got around to that on my own, we are going to do fun stuff. On Friday we are driving down to Co. Springs and taking the train up to the top of Pike's Peak. Saturday we are going whitewater rafting in Buena Vista, which is a little mountain town outside of Co. Springs. On our way back to Denver, we are staying the night on Saturday in the cute little resort town of Frisco and finally returning to Denver on Sunday to explore downtown. I'm really looking forward to it!!

Other than that, just trying to prepare at work for the DNC. Everyone is going crazy trying to get everything coordinated. This whole town in being turned upside down because of it, but it should be a lot of fun! I'm starting to get really excited for it.

Wishing everyone the best!
