Hurry Up and Wait

Ky and I had been looking forward all last week to our trip to Colorado. This trip would decide a lot and would be the start of our new life together. A few months earlier I received my acceptance to the University of Denver's Masters of Accountancy program for this coming Fall. After I got in Kyle applied to a few schools in the area and was accepted to the University of Colorado in Denver. Since then there has been a lot of anticipation about leaving everything we know here in Utah. Ky will be leaving his family here in Utah and I will be moving back to my home state. Ky and I are both excited about the diversity of our new area and the opportunities we will have to be a force for good in our new home.

When we arrived we met my good friends Dillon and Ashley Hall who was about to have her baby boy any day. It was so great to see them and talk to them. Ky and I couldn't help but picture ourselves in a cute little house like there's with a baby on the way some day. The next day we went to look for apartments and get some more information on CU for Ky. CU was great and gave Kyle an opportunity to see the campus and where he would be at. The rest of the day was a little more frustrating as we looked for apartments. We wanted to be close to the city but not too close where I felt unsafe. The first apartment was the closest to downtown but was so expensive an in an awful part of the city. The rest of the day seemed to feel the same.

Luckily we didn't give up and decided to go a little further south from downtown and look off Belleview. We found great apartment after great apartment. We decided on the complex but are just waiting for one unit to come available. During that same day Ashley went into labor and by the evening had her baby boy Brooks. We heard the news while at the Avalanche came with my family (which was a blast). In the morning we went to go see him. I felt so blessed that we were able to be in town the weekend she had her baby.

Before we knew it we were back home discussing how hard it is going to be to stay motivated with all the excitement coming in just a few months. We're ready for you Colorado!
