Week 1 thoughts

Well, one week has gone by since Chris flew back to Michigan and I have, thus far, felt great about my move!

We arrived Saturday night around 5:30 pm (MTN time zone), went to Patricia and Erik's favorite Sushi restaurant, then to Patricia's favorite bar and finally to a super hipster bar in downtown Denver. By that time it was about Midnight (2 AM Michigan time) and Chris and I were ready to konk out.
Sunday, we went to Patricia's fave breakfast joint then Chris studied at a library, Patricia and I organized a bit, hung out and went on a walk.  After our walk, Patricia, Tron and I went on another walk/jog to Whole Foods (Patricia likes that place a little too much, in my personal opinion, lol.), Erik made some dinner, Chris came home to eat then headed out to see a buddy in Downtown Denver and I hit-sheet!
Monday, Chris planned on heading to A-Basin to get a day of skiing in, but slept in and ended up studying at a library nearby while Patricia, Tron and I headed out on a hike and Erik flew to a work-related destination.
I have to say, Patricia was quite instrumental in the fact that I was completely organized by the time I had to say goodbye to Chris! My closet was organized with shoes in their slots, pants hung, shirts hung, and all workout gear (I say all because of the amount of gear I have! lol) folded on a shelf of my black organizer, undergarmets and socks in their bins, laundry basket in its designated location, pictures arranged on my boards, The Hunger Games on my book shelf, textbooks on bookshelf, clock/alarm plugged in, bed and sheets put together, chair for desk bought, desk situation completed, the food I brought/bought was organized in the fridge/my shelf, house key obtained and iPhone AND skis delivered!  ...yes, all before Chris left on Monday night! I know right, pretty darn good, if I do say so myself! I was feeling quite proud of myself!

 Last week, Erik was out of town on business, so it was Patricia, Tron (their dog) and me at their condo. Tuesday, Patricia had class downtown, so I figured to take Tron on a run and get my school work going and get situated.  Patricia came back pretty late and Tron was konked-out from our run. We were all beat, so an early bedtime for us!  Wednesday, I was home with Tron as Patricia had to work at the Dental office. Tron and I went on a pretty good run! I was excited! Then, once Patricia arrived home, we did a 'HIIT the Beach' workout and it kicked out behinds! Bedtime for us to get ready for an early morning workout at the PEAK workout facility with Erik's Mom, Linda, at 7 am.  Thursday's workout was AMAZING! I ran a solid 3 miles, then did some agility, abs and legs and felt quite proud of my AM. Later, Patricia had to go downtown again for classes, and this time I decided to join her as I had homework to do as well! (YEAH Master's Program!) It worked out quite well as I completed a good amount of my weekly readings and homework! Friday was a travel day for me as I was visiting Jaci in Texas for the weekend so an early night was definitely in the making.  However, a bit of nightmare around 2 am had Patricia and I with knives and a taser in hand as we entered her bedroom.  Needless to say, I don't think I've ever laughed that hard at 2 am IN MY LIFE! Each time I have told the story, in more detail than this, I haven't been able to get it out without laughing hysterically...so hard I cried and was bent over as my abs hurt so much!!!  Yes, the story of the lives of Patricia and Katie...living together...even at the ages of 25 and 26! WOW, that is a night I will never forget!

Thank goodness, Patricia was still able to pull herself out of bed at 5 am to take me to the airport and I was off to Texas!  Yeehaw, ride 'em cowboys!
