Hired.

With great relief and excitement i post that I have accepted the position of Teller with Firstbank. I begin monday at 8:30 am. what goodness this is. exactly what i wanted. and i still have money in the bank.

The faithfulness of the Lord is astounding.

Jobless.

You would think not having a job would be freeing and all that goodness.

i discovered in PA that it wasn't

the same applies to colorado.

i want a job.

i'm waiting to hear from firstbank.

i hope that they hire me.
i think i would fit with this company really well.

here i sit... in Colorado.

It took so much longer than planned to get here but here I am, indeed.

I arrived in Northglenn, CO on Saturday around 5 pm.

Louisa had prepared a delicious feast and I was so thrilled to be here finally.

I was a bit jaded... i couldn't really think that well or make decisions but i was here and that phase would pass.

I had a dog with me as well, a perfect little 2 year old Manchester Terrier that I saved from the freezing rain in Iowa. it was a crazy thing to do, i could have possibly stolen someones pet, i couldn't afford to keep her, but i needed to save her. i tried to drop her off at a shelter in Iowa, a few miles from teh highway i picked her up on, but that didn't work.

So i had a new traveling friend. we stayed in a super 8 in Des Moines and took off at 6am for CO.

Driving through Western Iowa, I was completely overcome by beauty... in Iowa... go figure. the way the sky was grey with the sun peeking through. the beauty of the massive windmills on the hillsides, the music playing (thanks to my dear friend Sarah.)

Once i got into Nebraska I knew that it would be annoying. I wasn't prepared for my annoyance in Colorado though...i couldn't see any mountains until i was 30 miles outside Denver and even then i thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me. But they were indeed the mountains i would be gazing upon during my time here and i was relieved. I was here. finally.

the apartment complex isn't my favorite but i'm not complaining. i like Boulder a whole bunch and haven't really explored Denver. The mountains are so close, but still they are far away.

but i am here. and well. and ready to start this thing.
