life & fun

I haven't blogged for a while, and have only just been able to upload pix, so I thought I'd do a pix blog of the last few weeks! I had a lovely birthday here after Seattle. We went out to sushi with Jim & Kelly then had them and other friends over for Mojitos. Here's a pic of Kelly and I accidentally wearing matching outfits!



And we didn't have candles, so this is John's finger being a candle on the lovely Banoffee Pie that he made me for my birthday!



Here is my gorgeous iPod Touch that I love!






The tree outside our house looked like this for a couple of weeks, I just had to take some pix. These are my favourite (and yes, the colour has not been enhanced - it really was this gold!).





Then a quick trip to Milwaukee area for Siebring (John's mum side) family fun, quick visit with Matt, Tracie & fam, and quick trip with Sam & Beth & fam, quick Chicago trip to do two of my exams (one left in November), and then back home to be with John!

I'm back at work, which is continuing to be fun. I'm really enjoying it so much! And John and I just recently booked our wedding anniversary weekend away. We decided to stay in a cheap hotel near Copper Mountain (where we have our season passes) so we can have a whole weekend of snowboarding. The hotel also has a hot tub so we can super relax and get warm in the evenings! We are so looking forward to it! We can't believe that we're already approaching our one year wedding anniversary!

job

Am loving it so far. I've worked two 4 hour shifts, and tomorrow and Friday I have two 8 hours shifts. So far, it's all training, but it's cool. I think I'll like it at Starbucks. Everyone I'm met so far has been super cool and really nice. I feel like I clicked with one of the girls immediately and we only were able to chat for a few minutes. I'm excited to be done with the training and start with the job! Here is a pic of the Starbucks I work at (not taken by me). It is less than a mile away, takes me about 4 minutes on my bike. It's in a little shopping area called Scotch Pines, and was the first Starbucks to open in Fort Collins. I think I'm going to really like my job!

job!!!!

In case you didn't already catch it on my Facebook status, I GOT THE JOB! I am super ecstatic, but also kinda nervous, as this is the first new job I've had in about 11 years. Craziness! But fun! I can't wait. I go in on Monday to do all the paperwork, and I'm guessing to start training. WooHoo! Yeah for AMAZING benefits coming in in 3 months time!

Added later: I forgot to mention that it's the Starbucks closest to our house, less than a mile, so I'll be able to bike there every day. It takes about a song on my iPod to get there! So so so so excited!

Starbucks Interview

It looks like my second interview at Starbucks went well. I felt like I knew better how to answer the questions. I think there's a pretty good chance I might get a job there, though of course, I don't really want to say that in case I don't!

Tonight we are celebrating my birthday with friends here. We're heading out for sushi (of course), then coming back to our apartment (which I have to clean up today!!) to play Friends Scene it and drink some Mojitos and Pina-Coladas! Should be fun!

We went to get my iPod touch last night. Delicious piece of machinery! Am trying to post up pix but for some reason not working... Oh well!
