Denver to the max
When you move to a new city, there is a desire to do everything. Or maybe that’s just me.
I need to storm Colorado. I’ve made lists, collected brochures and scoured websites for great things to do, see and participate in. Saying yes to “everything” led me to agree to be a member of Rough Cuts, the High Noon softball team. I hadn’t played softball since the fourth grade team when I returned the ball to the pitcher by rolling it. Needless to say, the coach didn’t really want me to continue too far into softball. This time, I had to put forth some effort since I would have to face these people at work. Of course, everyone pretends that it’s all fun and games but it is all for the Ws (that means wins for those less familiar with the lingo). So far — 3 Ls.
I’m looking forward to family and friends to visit so I can do more. I want to visit the breweries in Ft. Collins, the Great Sand Dunes, take a train to Pike’s Peak, cross the suspension bridge at Royal Gorge and see other magical Colorado places. There are also a ton of outdoorsy activities that I would like to do including fly-fishing, camping and white water rafting. I hope that is in the cards because I feel like I’m running out of time. Colorado offers everything that I could ask for. I’m in a destination city, and I need to take full advantage of that.

Being in a new city brings all types of new challenges. I’m not sure where to go out at night. Going out at night also requires someone to hang out with, which I’m slowly finding. Luckily, last weekend some girls at work invited me to go out downtown, and we had a great time. I want to fill up my weekends with fun activities including a group potluck or a neighborhood fair. Finding these activities are not challenging. Finding the people who also want to explore and maximize a summer in Denver is more challenging.
