Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
Hello blog world, it's been awhile. Since my last post I have seen some change in my life. I decided to stay with my current company (if you may remember the apartment community I was working at was getting taken over by a new management company, thus forcing my company out). Currently, I am working as a "floating manager" and have been coming to Brighton, Colorado to manage a new property we just acquired. This in itself has not been easy. The property needs a lot of work and the files/admin side of things were in a bad place. I think I have made a difference here and have started the turn around. I am now ready to leave the rest of the work to someone who wants to make this their permanent home...and move on.
My next stop will be Littleton, Colorado. I have accepted an Assistant Manager position at Alexan Downtown Littleton, a brand new luxury property that is still in a lease up phase. I am excited for this new challenge as I have never worked at a new property and know I am about to acquire a new set of skills. Exciting to say the least.
Things on the home front have been going really well. Matt and I have decided to renew our lease at our Highlands home for another year (our lease is up at the end of the May). This is exciting to me for many reasons. The number one reason, I am actually staying somewhere for more than a year! I moved to Colorado in July of 2007 with my friend Shelley. We moved into an apartment in Westminster, Colorado. At the end of our lease Shelley decided to move back to Iowa so I moved to an apartment in Broomfield, Colorado with Matt (our first home!). Last summer we decided to move down to the Highlands are of Denver and that is where we are at now. We absolutely love our house, and location, and were having a hard time deciding if we should move to a less expensive house come May. After searching out and brainstorming other possible options we decided we couldn't give up our house and so will be staying for another year. Yay! This weekend we spruced up our backyard... revitalizing a flower bed that had seen better days and constructing a gazebo. I am excited for summer nights, BBQ's with friends, and spending time with Matt and Cooper in our home for another year.
I think that there are days that I get so caught up in the day-to-day struggles that I don't take the time to step back and view the whole picture. But when I do, finally, step back and see the picture...I'm amazed. I feel so thankful to have a beautiful home, a boyfriend that I fall more in love with everyday, a dog who brightens my life, parents who support my decisions (even if they don't always agree), friends who help make memories worth treasuring, and an awesome state and exciting and vibrant city for giving me something new to discover and explore on a daily basis. I can't believe I am this lucky. Truly an awesome and powerful God is at work.
Until next time.
