No, not the show on MTV, but the big leap into adulthood that most everyone has taken but me. Well, not anymore. I am officially a grown up.

No more winters in Vail, spur of the moment trips to Vegas, and summers in Europe. I have decided to be responsible and put my degree to use.

Tomorrow I will be starting work at Wiesner Publishing as the Ad Trafficking Manager for their Senior Market Advisor Magazine. Yes, a manager…that means I have an assistant. How cool! I will be handling all the ads and act basically as a liaison between the Sales and Graphic Design Departments as well as oversee the work of the Assistant Manager.

It will be wonderful to finally have heath insurance, and with dental as well I'm sure my dentist will be happy to see me after my 3-year absence. Oops.

As another big grown up step, John and I will be getting an apartment together. We are moving next weekend into a 2 bed 2 bath unit in the same building where I used to live with Heidi. We will have an office/guest room so you all are welcome to come and visit.

Crazy stuff I know. But after 2 years of play I am finally ready to settle down. Denver is officially my home now.

Bye Bye Colorado

I've been quite a slacker on my blog. These last few weeks have been super busy with job searching and all. Being unemployed sure isn't what it is made out to be. Hopefully this situation wonn't last for long.

So anyways, last weekend Heather and I took a road trip to Moab, Utah to go camping with a bunch of girls. Lots of fun. Arches National Park was amazingly beautiful. The terrain was like walking on the moon.

One of the girls in the group used to date a rafting guide in Moab so she knew about a bunch of secret hikes and waterfalls that only the locals know. How cool.

Anyways, that's what has been going on. Going to the Dave concert tomorrow at Red Rocks. It's the first concert he has played there in 10 years...since his live CD. I can't wait. Hope everyone has a good weekend!
