Blake and I finally moved to Denver!
Last August, we decided with the Drysdales that we'd move to Colorado. Our motivation: Blake had only lived in Roswell, New Mexico, Piedmont, Oklahoma and Edmond, Oklahoma.
I had lived in: Texas, California, Ohio, Nebraska, Portland, Texas again, and Oklahoma. Needless to say, it was time to get the boy beyond red earth. So, his choice--Denver.
And we made it! (Not without resistance...from me) Who knew Oklahoma could be so comfy?
But now we're here, we LOVE it. Blake is a Senior Associate at Johnston Wells.
I work at the Denver Newspaper Agency as an Online Recruitment Consultant.
And I love it!
We work 1.2 miles apart, which means we get to carpool and use the HOV "Counterflow" lane. Good, because $100 a month for parking bites.
Blake also freelances for the Denver Post. Last week he covered the CU football game. This is perfect, because know he misses covering OU...so it's the best of both worlds.
We have wonderful friends here. (Although, we're still waiting for the Courtney's)
Meet Rachel and Jarrod:
They moved here from Chicago. Blake and Jarrod were roomies at OC--it still only takes them 23 seconds of being together to start talking about music. Jarrod is a wicked Graphic Designer, and also becoming very good and BBQing. Rachel is a 3rd grade Bilingual Teacher/ESL Teacher. We first met at a Steak n' Shake...it's a good story. She is an insanely good cook and has every craft supply ever made. Our other fabulous friends:
Marc Hobleman and Katie Koivisto:
Katie and Marc moved to Denver this summer for Kaite to get her Masters at DU. We're all ready for her semester to end so she can hang out again. Marc is an Interactive Producer at the DNA (with me!). We're on the same floor and often see each other throughout the day, very cool. They introduced us to 30 Rock, Freaks and Geeks and Humus. We introduced Marc to Heroes and FireFly. We've yet to introduce anything to Katie. She has taken on the chore of teaching me to cook. She's freakishly good at making things from scratch. She's never had hot chocolate from a can, she only knows how to make it from real cocoa beans. Blah. She also knows how to make homemade pizza, popcorn, spinach artichoke dip and Cinnamon pumpkin popcorn. Between her and Rachel I'm bound to learn something.
Needless to say, we're glad we're here.
And then there's Blake and me. We've now been married for 1 year and 5 months. We're mildly obsessed with eating out, watching Dexter, Obama, and Tina Fey. Blake reads Pitchfork everyday and still watches cartoons. I buy table centerpieces every time I leave the house and have always followed others blog lives, but never write my own. So it's time to keep everyone updated.
