Just in case you were wondering, I love the Rocky Mountains. I also love bright yellow aspen trees when their stark white bark contrasts with a clear blue sky. And don't get me started on the Colorado sunsets. Yes. These are are a few of the wonderful new things in my life that have replaced Harlem's garbage filled gutters, NYC rats, and eardrum bursting subway screeching noises. I'm going to try and attach pictures to make you jealous (first time to post pics):
Not bad, right? OK, ok, I'll admit I miss Jake, Corinne, Jon, and my friends tremendously. I miss All Angel's Church. I miss the magic and charm of the Big Apple (well, not quite yet on that third one, but I'm sure I will soon).
And if I'm truly honest I have to admit that Colorado isn't all roses. I've replaced the crowded subway cars with a long-ish morning commute. And I haven't driven regularly since I was in high school. And heavy traffic scares me. (although 'heavy' is relative -- are we talking NYC heavy or Mumbai heavy? Because Denver traffic is neither. And I should mention that I get to drive our fun little prius.)
Well, driving everywhere is the only bad thing I can think of right now so perhaps Colorado IS mostly roses. Or at least aspens.
Now that I'm sitting down to write I am realizing I have about a million things to process from the last 2 months: our AWESOME friends and family who helped us pack and load our big yellow moving truck, our drive across the country in said truck, my new job with KIPP Colorado (go see the documentary Waiting For Superman, which features a KIPP L.A. school), living close to family, the tremendous generosity of my Aunt Kathy, the additional weight I've gained from driving everywhere instead of walking. So many things. So I'll have to blog more frequently I suppose.
But for now, at least I'm starting. A new start. In a new state. With a new blog template. More to come. Good night, and I'll leave you with this:
