On top of the usual, we've been keeping busy with some of our great friends here in Denver. This is a quick glimpse at our last week or so... I'm tired!
Thursday night: Supper group (though we modified it and met at Rievers in Wash Park for grub and drinks)
Friday: An old friend from DC happened to be driving through town, so we met up for lunch at Steuben's in Uptown. It was great to see her! Her husband has been serving in Afghanistan and hasn't even met their 1st child, adorable baby Fiona) yet! Can you imagine?! He comes home from him 7 month tour this weekend, and I teared up just thinking how special that moment will be for him.
Friday night: Met up with some of my new friends/classmates from my program at Skylark here in Baker - it's been great getting to meet some new people that I can commiserate with in school :) Afterward, Matt and I headed to Keri and Joe's place for a great night with friends. We honestly love that we have such a great group to hang out with.
Saturday night: We met up with our friends Jess and Nick to take advantage of Denver Arts Week (where a bunch of stuff is FREE!) :) They kept about a dozen museums/galleries open late on Saturday, so we visited the Kirkland Museum and then the Molly Brown House (I'd always wanted to go!) before heading to City O' City for a nightcap (that place is fabulous if you've never been). It was a great evening!
Sunday morning: While Matt went to meet some of the guys to play what will likely be the last game of golf for awhile, I met up with a few of the girls for brunch. We enjoyed a delicious brunch at The Kitchen and got to walk around Pearl Street window shopping. A great way to spend a Sunday!
Tuesday night: I had the Baker Historic Neighborhood Association Board and General meetings which ended up being quite eventful. We had a representative from DIA come to give us an update on their expansion and the train that we'll soon (5 years) be able to take to the airport. We then had a local businessman give us a presentation on the plans he has for a vacant building in our neighborhood. (For those of you that know the area, he'll be turning the old Big Lots on Broadway into an amazing bowling alley and gastro pub/diner - the plans looked incredible!). After the meeting, I headed to Bible Study to enjoy some great discussion with the fabulous ladies in my life (Matt headed to play poker with all the husbands :) ).
Overall, we're loving Denver more and more and really enjoying life. Adjusting to our life sans one income has been tough, and we're not very good at it yet, but I keep hoping we'll get better. I mean, we don't have a choice! :) That's about it for now...
