Rain

Hello All,

It's rainy today for the third day in a row. I am tried of it! The rain makes me not want to do anything. However, there is sun on the horizon, it is supposed to be in the low 70's this weekend! Woohoo! I think we are going to check out Coronado Island. Apparently it's what you think of when you think of San Diego. I'm excited!

The job search still rages on --rages might not be the best choice for an adjective, but what can you do-- I never heard back from the company I was almost certain I had a job with...it was a little disappointing, but in the grand scheme of things probably for the best. I wasn't sure I would have loved working there anyway. I have had a few more interviews this week, we'll see what pans out. I am thinking about working at the zoo! I would get to be outside, with people, and not sitting at a desk! I'll keep you posted.

We went to the beach this past weekend for the first time. It was pretty. We didn't get in the water; didn't want to look like tourists too much! There were lots of people surfing though, I was surprised, surfing in February who would have thought. The boardwalk that runs up and down the coast is exactly how movies portray it. There are people every where! They are walking, running, riding bikes and rollerblading. It was a fun scene.

I need to get moving for the day, I think I am going to go running in the rain. We miss you all so much.

Love,
Aspen

P.S.
Dad - Thank you so much for your comments and interesting reading material, we appreciate it.

Monique Streetman - We are sorry you aren't feeling good, it's no fun being sick! Eat lots of yogurt to get those intestinal micro biota back on track (ask your parents if you don't know what I am talking about :) ).

Laurel - We are still diggin' on the chocolate, thanks again!

Everyone Else - Please post, we want to know what is going on in Colorado with all of you. We love you!

Job Search

Hello All,

How are things in Colorado, we hear that you may receive some snow this weekend?! It's funny to think about snow, seems like forever since we saw it but it really wasn't that long ago. Since we have been in San Diego we haven't once used the heat or A/C, it's pretty crazy. Last night it rained and rained making for great sleeping weather.

Murry is done with his first two weeks of work, he seems to be enjoying it. The hours are long and we find ourselves missing each other throughout much of the day. It's pretty neat how excited we get to see each other at the end of the day.

My job search is going well. The job market seems really healthy here. Today I had my third interview at an Internet company and it went really well. I would be the office manager and also in charge of H/R if I get the position. We will see on Monday! I am a little ambivalent about the line of work, I feel like maybe I should have applied for more biology related positions instead of what is comfortable. I guess it's good to be saving money while looking for the perfect job!

We probably haven't told you much about our new place! I hope to post pictures in the next few days, but until then I will tell y'all that we LOVE where we are living. We have a two bedroom apartment in an area of San Diego called Rancho Bernardo. Rancho Bernardo is a lot like Highlands Ranch, there is even a street near us call Highland Ranch Drive! Our complex has three pools and a newly remodeled fitness center. Our apartment itself is two bedrooms and has never been lived in since it was renovated. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances and looks really classy. We are using the second bedroom for an office/library. Murry has so many books that we had to purchase a huge bookcase to hold all of them! The bookcase almost takes up an entire wall! We are as unpacked as we will be for awhile, with only a few lingering boxes hiding in the second bedroom's closet. It is nice to be settled, it sure has been a long time coming.

Anyhow, we (and Marty) thought that having this blog might help us stay in better touch. So please, please, please post anything you would like, even 2 year old Monique can type something! We miss you all lots hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Lots of Love,
Aspen
