Technically one month was Monday.  Monday the 9th of May marked one month since I rolled into Denver and saw my new apartment for the first time.  But today, May 11th, is one month since my furniture arrived and I “moved in”.  Still to come is May 13, my first day in Denver without those who traveled from Richmond to help me settle.

I can’t say this month has flown by, but it has gone better than I had expected.  I can be an emotional person and am extremely close to my family.  I am in awe of myself that I made it through the month without any major melt downs.  I am proud of myself for putting my best foot forward to create a life here.  I am excited to see what month two brings…month three…year one.

A week from today I will fly back to Richmond.  The main point of the trip is for my niece’s dance recitals.  But I have packed my schedule with lunches and dinners and drinks with people I love and miss.  I am so excited!!  And I am interested to see if I will be just as excited to get back “home” to Denver when the trip is over.
