It's snowing in Denver....

Hello all...
It's been awhile since I've posted.....I miss you all so much!! (can't wait to see you in Nov. at Kellee's wedding) Let's see-I"ll try to do my best at an update....
Matt has now been working happily at his job for about a month (I can't believe we've been down here for almost 2 months!!!-crazy) He's working as a project engineer for a huge construction company here (he's building a lot of walgreens and Sam's Clubs..among other things and he loves it) he talks every day of his boss "bob" who he describes as an old man who talks like Michael Douglas and Jack Nicholsen..Matt always talks about how he loves "old" people and he has a new story daily which is nice since my days consist of watching Larry sleep and then moving outside to watch Larry play....exciting I know.
I have been applying for jobs like crazy and am starting to get somewhat depressed because of the lack of interest in return for my brillant mind. I have been applying for a ton of mental health jobs as well as temporary office jobs just to support myself while I look-we'll see.....I promise to keep you all posted and if you happen to get a call as one of my references just lie and exagerate about what a genius in the therapy room I am!!! (maybe not a lie) lol....
Larry is the same...just took him to the Vet today again...second time in a week-so you can feel my pain in needing a job.....apparently he has arthritis in one of his legs that he hurt when he jumped out of Matt's g-d truck....he's only a year old-arthritis!!! so he is now on a regiment of pills for the rest of his life and I have spent more on him in the past week than I have on myself for a month and a half-I'm goint crazy just wanting to but one shirt...or a pair of socks...anything new-I'm so sick of what I have!!!!! I keep joking that I won't have money to buy myself sweaters now that it's cold here....
Speaking of which...we had our first snow day....there's about 5 in. on the ground right now...it's beautiful-Larry is a basketcase in the snow...keeps faceplanting beacuse he gets tangled up in his leash so his snout gets covered in ice...I keep looking at SUV's online...I'm needing a new car instead of my Mazda(as much as I love it..) Shannon will appreciate this-I am actually LOVING the Nissan Xterra's....
Matt and I have bought season passes for skiing this winter -you all will love this-Matt got the Colorado pass which lets him ski at A-Basin, Breckenridge, and Keystone all season plus 10 days at Vail and Copper Mt. for $400....and then there's me.....I got the "learn to ski" pass .....but it's awesome-I get three half day lessons and then a season pass like Matt for $260 (can't beat that...plus I'd like to learn how to board and I know Matt is looking forward to the three 1/2 days that I'll be occupied with 5 year old while he's off in the backcountry showing off.....)
Other than that-not too much is new-we've been a little slow to meet a bunch of people here only because we're not wanting to spend a lot of money right now and this is the first time in my life moving and trying to meet people as a couple....different than when you're single for some reason....we have met a lot of nice people from the gator club-one couple fits exactly with us-the girl is a loud mouth who is funny and enjoys a drink or two (sound familiar) and her boyfriend is somewhat quiet and responsible but also has fun-it's like a mirror image....

I am hoping to get pictures up on my website soon....www.delicatefew.zoomshare.com we went up to rocky mountain national park recently and It was beautiful....check it out-I'll update it this week.... keep the updates coming here-I check back every now and then and I'm so happy to hear how wonderful you all are doing-Janett-you're amazing....I love to hear that you working (and saving lives) and of course Suse....Christopher is so HANDSOME,.....Matt was asking if you or Greg would call his Chris....I took a guess that you wouldn't for awhile but I don't know...and I am just so proud to be a part of all of your lives....I promise you I don't take it for granted after moving and losing friends through the years-I do not want that to happen with us!!!! I love you all....I'll see you soon and I wish nothing but wonderful things for you....

Love,
Megan, Matt & Larry Dog

Oh Megan, What a great post!! It's so good to hear about your lives. I'm glad you will be taking advantage of those beautiful mountains and nice dry snow!! Can't wait to see you in just a couple of weeks now...well, three, right? Good luck with the job hunt!! I can't believe they don't snap you right up. Have you thought about getting someone to look at your resume? Maybe it doesn't say enough about your strengths...that's the hardest part about getting a job...selling yourself. My cousin really helped spark mine up when I was applying for jobs (before going to school, again) FOR A YEAR!!! I think I got 4 interviews...Oh well, hope it goes better this spring.
