Relocation to Denver: Update

Post by froo »

Hoooh boy! We went to Denver/Aurora last week. Man it's beautiful out there! We didn't want to fly back
to Virginia Beach, though we had to of course; to get the family and the household goods. We had a great
time there. We could breathe better, the weather was great, the cold wind wasn't as bad. We took a yoga
class at the YMCA, similar to the one we take here. I was struggling a bit more, but not too bad. So I think
we'll acclimate just fine. We got a ranch style house, for rent. It's much closer to the job, and it's much bigger than we have here,
for the same price. We have a nice den dedicated for the computer stuff. So that'll work out fine.

Now we really gotta hit the afterburner on the packing. We have the first POD in our driveway, and will get
it loaded this Saturday. The rental house here is on the market, and it will be shown soon. We got rid of a ton
of stuff already (literally: I think I got rid of at least 1000 lbs of books, for example). We're donating a chest of
drawers, a big floppy chair, and probably the clothes dryer. We may also leave the big honkin L-shaped
desk behind; it's survived at least 3 moves now (Dallas to New Hampshire->storage, New Hampshire storage -> New Hampshire apartment,
New Hampshire apartment->Virginia Beach house). Not sure if it can withstand a 4th. But we may try.

We're headin out to Colorado Feb. 11th or 12th. So it's nonstop asskickin from here on out. Once we get settled
I should have more time for truespace and 3d in general.

WooHoo! :bananacheers:

Welcome to the west. I'm south of you in New Mexico. First rule of fight ... uh ... west club: mostly don't tell anything good about the west. It is good here because all those people aren't here. Don't encourage them to come here. Of course you're in the Denver area with over 4 million people but still.

Best wishes in your new job and new home.

Glad you found a good place! I'm sure you guys will like it out there. You'll have to swing by a restaurant called Casa Bonita when you get a chance. It looks really small when you first go in, but when you finally get into the main area it's pretty big. They have a waterfall in the middle where they do short live shows every half hour or so. The food isn't amazing, but it's a pretty fun place. Definitely worth checking out at least once. ;)

I hope the move goes smooth for you!

Wait, did you know you were moving into the middle of a South Park episode?
Sweeeeet.
