Mom and Dad visit!

Sorry for the length of delay between the blogs. Our computer at home needs a tune up and I have been having computer drama at work too. Oh yea...I got a job! I am working at Bogert Built Constuction (where my friend Laura used to work before she had her son 3 weeks ago). We do restoration of homes when they have damage from a pipe burst or flooding. It has been slower now since the weather has been really nice lately. We did have snow yesterday but it is pretty much melted away now. It is supposed to snow on Saturday so hopefully we can take our Christmas card picture then!

Going back to work has been nice. I feel like I have a purpose for everyday. When I wasn't working, I just stayed in my jammies until like 3. I made sure that I was showered and pretty for when Tom got home. I didn't want to be that slobby wife. Tom is a great help around our apartment. He helps me with the chores around the house. He is SUCH a good man! I am VERY lucky!!

Anywho...back to the topic of the blog...Well my parents surprised me back in October with a visit!! It was their 30th wedding anniversary and they said they were going to Portland to celebrate. I talked to them the morning they left and my mom said that she needed my address to send me a postcard (sneaky lady, they were already at the Denver Airport and she needed to know how to get to my house). So I gave it to her and told them to have a fun time. I also put in my guilt comment of "If you really loved me you would come to Colorado and spend your time with your daughter" when I was on the phone with my mom. We said our goodbyes and I went back to watching TV. At about 10am there is a knock at my door and I immediately started to think about who it could be. We don't know anybody around us and my only friend who lives near me was at work. So then I was kinda freaked out about answering the door. I looked thru the peephole and who do I see but...MY PARENTS!!! I opended the door and said "Shut up"! and then started to cry and hug them. It was the best surprise EVER!! They were here for 6 days and it was the BEST 6 days I have had here. It was just nice to spend all my time with them and soak them up. It was hard to say goodbye but I know that I get to see them soon. I have the BEST parents ever!! I am one lucky girl!!

That has what has been the hardest change being out here. I feel like I don't have a place. I don't fit in yet. And for those of you who know me....I dont think that I will ever fit in!! Ha haa!! I am just a weird person and I get it. Anyways, making friends has been really hard. We don't have kids to meet other parents thru sports or dance classes and we aren't in school anymore to meet other people. If any of you reading this have any ideas on how to meet new friends, please send me them at my personal email or on MySpace. I am not looking for "bar" friends so that is out...hee hee.

Anyways, here are some pictures from my parents trip.

Talk to you all later!
