whew...

It has been quite a week in my world! We had so much going on. David Stollman came in from NY for a series of CAMUSPEAK-related discussions and meetings. Then on Thursday new speakers arrived for their big annual training sessions, so we were a little crazy preparing for all that needed to happen while they were in town. Everything came off just great but it was definitely crazy! They were an awesome group with great messages across the board, so I am excited to see what the year holds.

On Friday night, to celebrate the conclusion of the training sessions and just to get to spend some non-business related time together we all went out to dinner and then to a guitar show at the club below the restaurant. We had a good time, as some of the pictures will reflect, and then Darci, Alex, myself, and one of the new speakers, Kevin, went out afterwards to Pitchers for some karaoke. The night was overall lots of fun, aside from the shitbag in the bar who Darci caught taking pictures of my boobs with his cell phone (classy, and yet highly typical of my luck) and the brilliance in the parking lot who plowed into my car with hers as she attempted to pull into a parking spot (I know, I know, it's a seriously challenging maneuver). At that point I realized that I needed to just walk away before things went downhill anymore and we turned it in for the night.

Saturday I spent the day chillin with Kevin around Colorado- he decided to stay in Denver a few extra days just to look around and relax. We spent the morning walking around downtown and then had lunch at the Rio on the patio. The weather was beautiful so it was really nice, and we had some quality conversation and took in some cool sights. Then we drove down to Colorado Springs and up to Pike's Peak. I was pretty impressed with how the little Honda handled the trek, but she hung in there pretty well and only complained a few times, like when we got to the top of the mountain to find feet of snow and 30 degree temperatures with wind. (I didn't bl ame her- I was complaining at that point, too.) Anyway, on our way back down the mountain we came across a little wine tasting shop so we stopped and sampled some local wines that were quite enjoyable. It was a very nice day. :)

Now I need to head to bed because tomorrow will invariably be a day of insane catch up from Thursday and Friday out of the office. I'm tired just thinking about it. And on Friday, I move into my place. If all goes as planned, I will have my very own internet and I will be able to stop stealing my neighbor's. I'd like to think this stability will lead to an increase in blog posts, but I don't like to make promises I may not keep. Until next time...
