My Purple Orchid

Welcome to my first blog! I figured this would be a great way to keep in touch with my family and friends that I left a thousand miles away in Pennsylvania. I will do my best to keep you up to date of my day-to-day adventures, journeys, and randomness as I begin my life Loveland, Colorado.

Random Thought of the Day: I bought this purple Orchid the other day and have simply fallen in love with it, even though it's as fake as fool's gold! Scott referred to it as my pet the first night I had it because I carried it around the apartment to each room trying to find the perfect spot for it. (I am still looking!) Needless to say we don't have that many rooms, and as much as Scott may have wanted me to put it in the Laundry room (MY room) I settled for putting it on my desk :) For now, it can be the perfect spot.

So how is Colorado treating me? I can honestly tell you that it feels like I am on vacation. The sun has shined every day since I stepped off the plane! That's definately not something I am used too, considering I wore my raincoat 8 out of the 7 days of the week in good ol' PA (Home of the Curve - Woo!) Although, Scott has been great with me the past few days, as he has the front seat in my world of emotions through this transition! Thank God for a good guy!

Since I've arrived I have already taken a trip through Rocky Mountain National Park, visited the Chapel on the Rock, drank wine at a winery, walked through the Denver Zoo (and got a snapshot of the up and coming baby boom = lots of kids and pregnant moms), and strolled through downtown Denver. I will be posting pictures very soon. So stay tuned! In the mean time... Be good and smile :) *Olive Juice*
