It’s funny how life just starts to fall into place sometimes, and I am trying to remember to enjoy each moment and not take a single good fortune for granted. Some updates…

The Engagement…
Being engaged is fantastic. I am finally allowed to buy those weddings magazine that stare me down in the checkout aisle, and suddenly getting manicures is an approved expense (ok, I made that part up). Mike and I enjoy saying the word fiance and try to say it in a funny accent at least once a day. The official wedding planning will kick off at the end of April when my mom comes out to look at two venues with us. I won’t reveal the exact locations just yet, but one is in Estes Park and the other is in Boulder! 

New Job…
Lucky. That’s how I feel everyday about being invited to join the smart, talented and incredibly welcoming team at GroundFloor Media. I am seven days deep and know that I have found a “home” for a very long time. I am diving head-first into my new accounts and am so excited for the challenges and opportunities ahead.

House Hunting…
To be fair, this hasn’t fallen into place just yet but I know our perfect Highlands home is out there somewhere. I’ve started to schedule showings and am just trying to find a place that isn’t a total dive, but that also allows us to save money so we can hopefully buy a house in the next year or two! If you know of a 2BD rental in the area let me know!

Masters Program…
I am not going back to school, but yesterday Mike received the extremely exciting news that he has been accepted to CU Denver for the Urban Planning and Regional Development masters program. While his reaction over the phone left something to be desired (he’s in SD right now), I am a seriously proud fiance (insert English accent). Personally, I think Mike is one of the most brilliant people I know and believe this will be an amazing profession for him to pursue.

In other news, Caroline and Sophia are literally sprouting up like beanstalks before our very eyes. Between trying to walk and babbling all about their day when I get home, I definitely didn’t realize how much I would miss being around them all day until I went back to work. I’ll have to arrange for a weekly dinner somehow once we move out…more than a week away from them doesn’t seem possible!

Will keep you posted on the venue hunting for the big day!
