New and exciting things

So I quit one of my jobs before we went to Colorado. I spent a bit of time relaxing after we came back and then went seeking. I quickly found the place I wanted to work. It must have been the right decision because I applied and was promptly hired and trained. Its good money and a fairly decent work environment. I think all considered a very good outcome to my search. I worked 55+ hours in 5 days between my new and old job, and I'm casually ecstatic and exhausted. Eric and I have been working, doing hot yoga regularly. The yoga makes me feel great and I am getting my muscle tone back, I look so good.

If you look at any of the following posts and want to see larger versions of the pictures just click on them. You'll get larger versions of them. I mostly posted the really good ones, so I think they're worth looking on.

Eric and I are applying to teach English in South Korea and the application opens up Oct 1st, so that is going to be an exciting day (recently Eric and I found a shiny new apartment to move into Oct 1st). All these things are so exciting that even when I'm working so many hours I maintain a decent amount of bubbly excitement.

Right now I am watching The Dark Knight for the hundreth time. It makes me feel like I am not so much an agent of chaos (watching movies not so chaotic) but it inspires me and hopefully I can carry that feeling with me.

Colorado

Our last night in Colorado we had a crazy campsite. There wasn't really a place to put the tent, and the promise of rain led us to decide to sleep in the car. The firepit already had some wood in it so we built up a fire and cooked up some beans. We ate well and told stories.

We watched the sunset from the top of some rocks. It was very pretty

The clouds looked great that night.

The next day on the way home we found the pony express statue.

Ski slopes during the summer. So strange to think about!

music

So I've been looking back through my wonderful blog written while I was in Sweden. There are lots of posts with music videos in them, showing what I was super loving at the time, and I do say! What good it is to be able to look back and enjoy them. So here I'll post some of the songs, I'm loving right now. Then I can look back in the future, but you might also enjoy them.

Adele- Hometown

Hot Chelle Rae- Tonight Tonight

Patrick Stump -This City (featuring Lupe Fiasco!)

Iyaz- pretty girls chi city version (featuring Travie McCoy!)

Foster the People- Pumped up Kicks

Cottonwood Pass

These clouds look fake but were real.

So we drove up a scary country road with endless winding and twisting and drop offs into nothingness mere feet away

To get to Cottonwood Pass!

where we decided to go climb around way up high. Here is Eric looking quite intrepid.

Eric got the chance to fulfill one of his life long dreams and threw a snowball in August.
