Running in Fort Collins

Before I moved I decided to run in my two favorite 5 Ks. I have ran in both of them for at least the last 3 years. The first one was the Fast & the Furriest which benefits vet students at CSU. The weather wasn't great (and it had even been rescheduled due to the weather the weekend before - at least we didn't have to run in the snow), but my sister and I did fairly well. After the race my sister and I snapped some photos of the campus during spring time (although the cloud cover isn't usually present).

In May I volunteered at the Fire Hydrant 5, which benefits the Larimer Humane Society. I really enjoy doing this because I get to run with a dog and interact with lots of people. My companion was a boxer (and I think husky) mix named Yoshi. If I could have kept up his pace we would have ran my fastest time, by far. However, he wore me out in the first mile and I had to walk a lot the last 2 miles. I haven't been that sore from running that distance in a LONG time.

Stay Tuned

We just got internet this morning so stay tuned for blogs about my last weeks in Fort Collins, the move to Washington and our first few weeks here (I just need to upload some pictures).

Job in Seattle

I am waiting to hear if Knowledge Learning Corporation wants to hire me.  Ahhhh, the stress is really getting to me and affecting my sleep.

Why?

Why would it be necessary to lift a Hummer in Fort Collins?

Time with my parents (and the demise of my weight loss goal)

April 9, 2009

My parents came up on Thursday after work, they were in the area.  We enjoyed happy hour at Sunflower.  After some flatbread pizza and beer and cosmos we headed to The Med.  We had a little bit of trouble finding it (too busy looking at Brasserie Ten Ten and the people on Pearl that we asked directions from were a bit confused).  The food was delicious, we shared tapas and then dessert.

April 10-12, 2009

Then I went down to Aurora for Easter weekend.  

Friday night we stayed in and relaxed while watching a wolf tv show.  

Saturday my mom and I took the dogs for a windy and cold walk.  Later that evening my godparents came over and we enjoyed some delicious food and wine.  

Then Sunday we went to church, where we ushered.  I don't know if I did the best job ushering, but during that time I ran into one of my favorite families that had been on the Chaparral Swim Team.  It was amazing to see them as adults (or almost).  After church we went to Brio and had even more delicious food.  I packed/organized my closet a bit and then headed home earlier than planned to avoid the icy roads.

Jobs

I am interviewing for 2 jobs (Assistant Center Director at Knowledge Learning Corporation and an Underwriting Trainee for CNA) in the coming week.  So good thoughts and prayers would be very much appreciated!

I would love to have a job before the hopeful move to Seattle on May 21st (I have reserved a van, but nervous to commit before I have a job).

My Blog

I was reading through some of my previous posts.  I realized my writing is less than exceptional, it is full of typos and my pictures don't always match up with the text, but hopefully you all can overlook this!  I am usually writing after long days and quickly trying to get my thoughts down.  Just wanted to apologize :)
