There hasn't been a whole lot of note to write about lately - mostly just settling in to life in Laramie - but I'll tell you about a few of the highlights.
There's a shop in town called Works of Wyoming that only sells local artists' work, helps to teach them some business principals, and has some of the artists put on workshops. I took one on wire working that was really interesting. I got to meet some other crafty people, and mess around with making a very contemporary ring. The next weekend I went down to Denver for my nephew Kyan's bowling birthday party. My former roommate, and once again current roommate - the infamous Clistie Puckett - moved in a few weeks ago. She'll be in and out throughout the summer....the joys of being a teacher. We got to do a bit of hiking and exploring while she was here, but then she headed back down to Colorado Springs to help with the aide/relief for the Black Forest fire. I went on a picnic/hike with one of my coworkers, his wife, and 1-year old daughter. Their daughter is adorable, and they have another on the way...yay for friends with kids that I can play with! And this last weekend I went down to Denver again for my niece Zeya's dance recital, and brunch with Lauren. I've been looking at dogs, I got a promotion of sorts at work, I've been meeting lots of new people, and getting to know the friends I've already made a bit more. Things are busy, but good. I've also slacked on taking pictures. Below are a few....I'll work on some more exciting ones for next time....
