I got a job!

Monday I start work as a Communication Specialist with one of the nation's largest gatherers and processors of natural gas. After almost three months of searching, and turning down a few, I finally got an offer I really want and am excited about. Many thanks to Drake for supporting me, both financially and emotionally, in making the right decision. He also taught me to go with my gut and after the interview I knew I wanted to work with them. The people I met with were super and I feel this could be a start of a wonderful career for me. The company itself seems very progressive and even does charity matching for its employees. Though the first month or so is on a contract basis, I"m sure I will be a good fit for them and they'll want to keep me ;)

On another note, Drake and I tried Frisbee golf (frolf) for the first time last weekend. What fun! I had no idea how serious people are about it but the number of others playing the greens proved me otherwise. Luckily we didn't keep score and just played for fun because I was way over par (is that how it's said, over par?). You really need a strong arm for this sport!

Our house hunting continues and we're starting to get more serious now that I have a job. We've narrowed it down to one neighborhood - Park Hill. It's like the Duckpond of Denver with historical homes both big and small. We're eying the smaller ones as the large ones can be a couple million. Yikes! But the area itself has proven over time that it maintains its value even when Denver's real estate market slumps.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Cinco de Mayo! Eat a taco or two.
