Packing, Packing and more Packing

I have officially run out of places to pack things! O.k...I guess that is a stretch, but seriously I'm running out of boxes and I've gone through 4 newspapers and still need more! I think this is a sign that I have too much stuff.



My parents and grandparents will begin their trek to Denver tomorrow morning, so it's sink or swim time. I'm trying to have as much as possible done before they get here so that they don't have to work so hard, but I have a feeling they might end up helping out a little. Hopefully just with cleaning. That's the only thing that I can't seem to fit in the packing schedule.



Tomorrow night I get a break from all the packing because me and the BFF are headed to the Pepsi Center to see RASCAL FLATTS! I'm so excited! I love their music and always have fun at concerts so it should be a fun way finish out the week!


*So I've tried 4 times to upload pics for this post...needless to say it's not going to happen tonight. I'll try to add them later. =-)

5 Days...The emotional rollercoaster begins

In 5 days my world is about to flip upside down as I make the 1800 mile move back to California in less than a week. I am confident in my decision but the emotions are finally seeping into play as I accept the fact that I can no longer ignore them. I have been incredibly lucky and fortunate to meet some truly amazing people and I've made a million memories in Denver that I hope I never forget.

I think that the scariest part of all of this is the uncertaintly. I am doing my best to place my faith and trust in God's hands but my ability to do that wavers from moment to moment. I've made the statement approximately 10 million times this week, and I'll say it again..."It's going to be an interesting year."

He's Just Not That Into You...


Just a few thoughts about the movie...

I guess the most important critique is that this movie is definitely cute/adorable/happy-go-lucky, etc. etc. It certainly fits in the category of chick-flick, as if there was any question, so you certainly have to be in the mindset for that genre of movie to fully enjoy the flick.

What I liked about this movie is that it over-emphasized the different stereotypes that so many men & women fall into when it comes to dating - which was both humorous and at times thought provoking. Sometimes it's easier to recognize our own behavior when we see it in someone else. My second favorite aspect of this movie is that at the end of the day (o.k movie) each an every person / couple had a different way of finding one another or thereselves; which I believe ultimately has to happen for someone to fully experience love.

I also loved that the theme of the movie encompassed an idea of hope. All the while everyone's story is different, we all find our way. =-)
