August 1, 2012

Happy August and welcome to our new blog. As you may have heard by now Dan and I are moving across the country this Saturday to Denver, CO. Dan will be attending The University of Denver for graduate studies in film to pursue a career in cinematic studies and I will be teaching elementary music at Greenwood Elementary School in Greenwood Village, CO. We will be living in an apartment just 10 minutes from my school and 1 stop on the Light Rail from DU. We have a new addition to our family, our kitty Chai of the Tiger who we are super excited to have live with us.


Chai has her first vet appointment on Friday and we are hoping to get a few tips on safe and comfortable travels for her. I had my check-up last Friday where we learned that I healed from my surgery very quickly and I only have to wear my brace for another week, until I start teaching. Unfortunately I still have all of my limitations (no driving, no drinking, no lifting more than 20 pounds, no twisting) so Dan is going to have to drive the entire way from Detroit to Denver. We are planning on leaving Saturday morning, spending the night in Nebraska, and then arriving in Denver Sunday afternoon.

The moving truck came Monday morning, was loaded up by my dad and brother, and shipped off yesterday. We are hoping to have our stuff arrive on Monday which Dan and our friend Tom will unload while I attend to school things. As we tie up loose ends in Michigan, (appointments, lunches, finding a PT and spine doctor in Denver, paying rent...) we are looking forward to a farewell party Friday night at my parents house. We are hoping to see lots of our friends and family for the last time until the holidays.

Goodbye Michigan! It really is a GREAT state :)

Love,

Dan and Emmy
