Ft Collins! Hooray!

So let's see. I didn't get that office job, but that's ok. NBD (no big deal, thanks eric) I moved to Ft Collins on Thurs. nite. Nathan and Chris, 2 boys from my new ward helped me which was awesome. So yeah, Ft Collins is a sweet college town north of Longmont about 30-35 miles (not 50 Troy :P ) It's a much better place than Longmont because it's a college town and Longmont is suburbia. My car was still running so luckily it made it up to Ft Collins ok the nite I moved, but the next day on Friday when I went to turn in an application at Sunflower Market it totally died on the way there, so it doesn't run at all now. I'm going to see about getting it worked on. I really like my new place, it's a townhome and it's fairly new. It remind me of when I lived with Janalee in those fancy nice new apartments. It has a washer/dryer which is nice and rent is not bad. I also have the master bedroom which is sweet. The room is so big. New experience for me. I like it so far. I'm listening to awesome latin music. I love it. Listen to real Ricky Martin sometime, AMAZING!

Ok, my new roommate is Jennifer, she's freaking awesome and hot. She's getting her masters in microbiology and is super smart so it's intimidating. I pretty much feel like an idiot around her. She's awesome tho and we get along great. Like on Saturday nite she came home and she got free make up from Clinique and she never wears make up so she asked if I wanted it. I of course can't turn down free anything so I said sure. So she wanted me to try on the lipstick and it was like really dark purplish! Sooo not me, don't think I've ever worn lipstick that dark. So after putting it on we decided I needed dark "gothic" eye make up to go with it. It was fun. Troy of course, made fun of me. But I had fun.

So I had an interview today at Sunflower Market which is like a natural farmers market type place. I know I will really like working there. I'm pretty sure I got the job. Chris that helped me move works there and hooked me up which is nice. I had a really fun weekend hanging out with Troy and Nathan. Last nite was great because we all went on a nite hike and it was cold and raining and when we got to the top of the reservoir (which is within walking distance) it was snow. We were wet and cold by the time we got back 2.5 hours later. CRAZY but fun. Afterwards I made crepes and Nathan made homemade hot chocolate. Way good. Then we chilled out and watched Batman Begins on TV. I almost forgot how great that movie is. I've been meaning to buy it for a while.

So while I was still in Longmont I watched a new house episode on DVR and afterward discovered that my favorite tv show the IT CROWD was on the IFC channel on Tuesday nites and they just started showing it!!! AMAZING! It completely made my day, week, year. So great. So I made sure to DVR the first couple episodes and made people watch it for the last week I was in that house. It was all worth it just for that. I found out that like 4 months ago they made it crowd compatible and available for North America, way great. So as soon as I have a little bit of extra money I'm going to buy it and have my friends watch the rest because I've got a few friends hooked already. If you haven't seen it look into it NOW! (Jake) I'm trying to think of what else eventful has happened. I know I'm missing something. I just talked to Troy on the phone and lost my train of thought. And I'm freaking hungry. So now I'm going to upload some photos and be done. If I think of it later I will let you know. For some reason I think it had something to do with Becky and Spokane but I don't remember. Oh well. Peace out.

Wait! I remembered something. After my interview I started walking towards home and just chatted on the phone, it was nice, and I eventually got picked up by Nathan which was nice but I looked on google maps when I got home and I walked 3 miles! SO COOL! Didn't even really notice. I was walking for about an hour I guess. Now it's over.

ps. Troy's brother's family that he lives with, they are WONDERFUL and I love their 6 kids and spending time with them. Kinda like a home away from home. Fan-flippin-tastic.
