The Move to CO

Well my last days in Alabama were busy as could be. During the time when I was planning to leave AL, some dear friends of mine : the Budraitis's (sp?), the Domeny's, Bro Mike, and the McGowan's wanted to find out about my new job up here, but sadly I didn't have time to call and chat. So this blog which hopefully I will update every week or two came into being. I may not have a snazzy blog but it helps keep those who wish to know, in the know. Here's how my last weeks in Alabama went:

1. Finished out a two week notice at my last job.
2. Signed a lease on a place to live up here in CO.
3. Lined up a moving service to get everything out here to CO.
4. Packed a Penske truck to move everything out of my apartment that I had been living in.
5. Packed the front end of a 28 foot trailer to get all my belongings out here to CO.
6. Spent as much time as I could with friends and family in AL before leaving.

Mom, Dad and I at the airport at Ft Walton Beach before going through TSA.

Then things went smoothly through all of my flights which went much better than the flights out here for my onsite interview for the job I now have. I was lucky enough to fly in and have one of my new co-workers and his wonderful wife pick me up from the airport and provide me with a beautiful place to stay until my apartment here and my stuff arrived.

There were a bunch of deer down in the valley below their home.

Their two sweet dogs.

Momma and baby deer right out the door.

 My new co-worker helped me to find my place (pictures of that will come later when I finish getting things together) and a new ride :)

 It's been a busy month for me but I can say that although I have been extremely busy, I have a new outlook and new scenery to see until it snows. But I leave you now with some of the vistas that I now have daily.
