Graduation, Craigslist and New Adventures

It has been way too long and way too much has happened. The big news is that I graduated June 4th from DU with my Masters! It was a wonderful celebration. I was honored to have both Mom and Dad out to visit and Grandma Major too. Spending time with them in Denver was a real treat. It feels really amazing to be done with school. The last two years were a lot of hard work, but to have accomplished it is wonderful.

Now that I have a Masters in International Studies - what is next? I am excited to say . . . after a long and great discussion with Rob and Jolee Wallace I will be heading back to work at Del Rio Vineyards. This time I start with a focus on online and social media marketing, but the job is not limited and will provide the potential for a variety of endeavors. Scott and I will be heading back to Oregon on the first of July. We are staying here for the rest of June. The time gives us a chance to see a bit more of Colorado with camping and hiking trips planned. I am also working a few hours at the library and Scott is continuing to work at Costco, hoping to still secure a transfer to the Medford store. We will be sad to say goodbye to Denver. We have made many new friends who we will miss dearly but hope to host in their visits to the west coast.

Speaking of Graduation . . . here is a long over due congrats to Scott. Scott graduated with his MBA in Marketing in March. He is currently working at Costco and doing really well. He is also excited to head back to Oregon. We are really looking forward to spending time with the fam.

As we are planning the trip home we have decided to take only what will fit in our two cars. The mission has been to get rid of all our stuff (or our big stuff) and so far we have been pretty successful. It was hard to see our kitchen table go, but we got $125 for it. It is so much fun using Craigslist in Denver. Things can go really fast. I think we will be able to fit everything.

More posts and pictures to come as we enjoy our last few weeks in Denver.
