We have arrived!

Well, we made it! We have arrived in Telluride :) The first day we were here it was gorgeous fall weather (as you can see in the first few pictures). Then, unexpectedly, the cold flew in and the next day it snowed like it was Christmas morning - huge snowflakes and all! We ended up getting about 3 inches in town. I enjoyed my first Telluride snow by eating pumpkin oatmeal in bed, taking a gondola ride to Mountain Village, and applying for jobs - isn't that what everyone does on the first day of snow?! All jokes aside, it is currently hard to find jobs since most places in town are closed down until Thanksgiving, which is when the season picks back up. But, Luke and I are trying our best and going out every morning to apply at different places! So wish us luck :) Otherwise, we're exploring Telluride and setting up the apartment!

Well, I'm moving!

In a little less than two weeks I'm moving out to Colorado - Telluride to be exact! I am so very excited and scared at the same time. It was a struggle to get to this point - the point where I finally feel ready to live completely on my own. For a while I kept telling myself, In a few months I will be ready to move. Yet, after a few months passed, I was still no where close to ready. In the days following the peak of my moving out crisis, I came across a quote and something finally clicked. The quote reads, "If we wait until we're ready, we'll be waiting for the rest of or lives." Once I read that I finally realized I will never be truly ready to leave. It was then that I finally decided to just go for it and take the big jump. Coincidentally, around that moment the idea of moving to Telluride kind of fell into my lap. I took it as a sign and now that's that! To Telluride we go!!

Allow me to answer some FAQ's about the big move to Telluride:

1) Yes! Luke is coming with me!

2) No, neither of us have a job.

3) Yes. I am a little concerned about that, but I believe we will find jobs.

4) Yup! We do have an apartment and we have one other roommate.

5) I know! The skiing will be amazing! No, I have never skied before and yes I'm ready to learn!

6) Yes. I'm leaving the best job in the world and I'm going to miss my Free People team like crazy!!

Well, I think that about covers it! :) Wish me luck on this new adventure!
