the genesis

The thought of blogging hadn't crossed my mind until I received a note from Doris today asking if I had one. So I started think that it might be a good way to not only keep you all up to speed, but to help me capture this time in our life!
I've named this The Interim because Deuce and I both feel as though we are stuck. Stuck between where we were and where we want to be. The house we live in at the moment has been many things to us over the past 4 years, but right now it is a burden. We are almost finished with it and both looking forward to moving to Vermont to start a family and settle. Denver is just not what we want.

So it begins...
Didn't do much today. I worked at Diesel for a nice short 6 hour shift and Anna was working today as well. She has become such a dear friend in such a short time. We rarely get to work together, so today was a treat. I ran out of Diesel and sped over to my chiropractor, Dr. V. for a quick adjustment and some time on the massage bed. What a nice end to my work day! Ran home from there and vegged out for a bit, made some dinner, waited for Deuce to get home from snowboarding in Breckenridge all day with Travis. Expected them to go tinker with all the motorcycles in the garage for their weekly White Trash night, but the snowboarding took too much out of them, so they called it a night very early.

Work has been getting better. I have been getting along with management much more than in previous months. I think my competence is being acknowledged more and because of that I feel more respected, and I'm given more creative freedom. It's nice! I am flying to Vegas Feb 4-6 for training. I am very excited to get out of Denver for a few days. For those of you who don't know, every 6 months I am sent for a training session called Visual Camp. All the Visual Merchandisers from each Diesel store are sent to one place where we learn about the new collection, the inspirations, what they want us to implement in our stores, and then we get to do some hands on workshops in the local Diesel stores. Always accompanied by great hotels, great dinners, and much merriment! I have befriended a few of the other Visual Merchandisers in my area and it's always so fun to see them for a few days.

Well tomorrow should be similar to today, work-chiropractor-dinner.... but then I have to go to the club to do coat check.

Some issues on my mind lately:
How love changes (for better and for worse)
Friendships (why must I have such a hard time investing in them?!)
Children (am I ready? Are WE ready? What about money? Health insurance?)
