Company Man

Needless to say, there have been more changes over the last couple weeks than I can hope to catch up on them all. To me, it feels like one minute I was riding my bike through Chicago subzero snow to my server job with time a plenty to send out headshots and go running. The next I am commuting in my Jeep to a job I wear a tie to, admiring the Rocky Mountains and scrambling to get in my training runs. It all happened so quickly. Tiff and I are for the most part settled in our suburban oasis and beginning to explore the new town around us. I realized that while I lived in the Denver area once, it has not been for 15yrs. I left Colorado in 2000, but was a full time Ft Collins resident when I left. Additionally, I have changed my views a little. When I left, big chain restaurants were great, driving even three blocks was normal, and I had a frustrating tendency to be talking with police for something or a another.

Things have changed.

It's good, but it's hard to remember how new all of this is for me now too. I am face to face with that fact everytime Tiff asks about something or another. I mostly just know how to get there. It's fun to learn, when I have time.

As for the now, we are proceeding with wedding plans full steam. The date has been picked (I think), and if you don't know it yet, we have not announced it fully so hang in there. I am in the taper period of training for Minneapolis' marathon on June 6th. The bike is almost road ready after some serious degunking from Chicago's winter.

Life is settling a little on one hand. On the other, exciting events are being planed. It's good.

Gah work!

How the hell do people with 40hr weeks get anything else done? Seriously, my to do lists would be getting dusty if they weren't constantly growing!

Back from the dead

It has been a whirlwind of a month and I am glad to get back to posting. I flew out to Chicago to get Tiffany and the truck on April 24th and we hit the road after an incredible helping effort from some friends on April 26th. It was fun to get our truck right next to Wriggley Field for our big move. On April 28th, my folks helped us move into our new place and Josh came all the way down from Casper to help out with a couple of the big things. We settled in some and then I went to work for the next 8 days. This last weekend was my first one off in a while. We hit the mountains and did some stuff with my Mom last night. All in all, there is a vague scent of normalicy starting to take. I will be up here a bit more now that we have internet. Cheers for now.
