packing for Denver

Apologies for my temporary disappearance but WE MOVED. Obviously we found a place to live and a way to get our stuff here. Here's how it happened:

We started packing as soon as we knew we were moving, and then were surrounded by boxes for more than a month. We had a 'going away' party the Saturday after Thanksgiving that was great - but man is it SO hard to say goodbye to people?! I've been so focused on getting here to Denver that I forgot temporarily how sad it was going to be. More on that later. We had a great Thanksgiving with Jesse's parents - going to miss being so close to them!

I worked Monday and Tuesday after Thanksgiving which was tough because I had so much to do before I left - it didn't all get done, unfortunately. I hope Jessica is okay back there.

Wednesday the 2nd we had all our cars plus some borrowed cars blocking off 70 feet of curb for the moving truck, so we couldn't drive anywhere. We rode our bikes to breakfast and pretended to be on vacation. Then we packed like crazy. Thursday morning the moving truck came and I watched them load. The cats spent the entire day in their little carriers/kennels, poor things. When we finally let them out, Olive (total spook) was acting SO weird. She was constantly looking for a way to escape the house. It was completely unlike her and really freaked me out.

We were determined to see our last sunset as O-Becians. We walked down to the cliffs...
