Life can be crazy

Hey friends and fam,

It's been a while since I gave an update so if you are interested, I figured I would share. Its been a crazy couple months for me but I am feeling pretty good about things all things considered. Things are officially settled down here in Colorado. Summer is here (almost over...) but for the most part, everything is under control. Keira seems to be doing pretty well and having fun at her day care summer camp. They have fun activities for her every day including a couple field trips a week which she enjoys and she is making friends. She is ready for 1st grade to start (1st grade!!) and we have been working on getting new supplies and clothes. I remember being SOOO excited as a kid to wear new clothes to school thinking it would help me be cooler. Clearly I was wrong. Ha! I love shopping for her though and finding deals although shopping is a lot less fun when you are broke. Oh-well, she will have what she needs so I suppose that is all that matters. I am finally pretty comfortable at work. I am making friends and have met some really cool people. I feel grateful every day that I have a job that I love and I know that I am super lucky with that. I have many friends who hate what they do and I never want to be in that place again. It's definitely a stress I am glad I don't have to deal with much. Don't get me wrong, I have my days but mostly it's awesome every day and it's rare I wake up not looking forward to going to work. I will say I absolutely love being back in Colorado. There is so much fun going on here all the time and a lot of it is free. I saw an amazing free show last week and am going to another one tomorrow and Sat. There is also so many cool places to take Keira. We have gone on some pretty awesome adventures together.

The only crappy thing I am dealing with is my stomach. I had to go to the ER a couple weeks ago for Pancreatitis. Although the doctors are unsure what caused it (this time), I saw a specialist who is convinced it is stress related. I guess that makes sense so I am doing everything I can to try and not sweat the small stuff. I am a pretty happy person most of the time so I am just trying to focus on the positive more and hopefully everything will go well. Without getting into the details, I ask that you throw some well wishes my way. Stressing about this is obviously the last thing I need right now. Keira and I have a trip coming up next month for my sister Mikayla's wedding which we are both super excited about! Virginia Beach, here we come! Oh yeah, and last month I won a trip to New York to see the NHL Draft. The Avs drafted 1st over all, (Yes, they blew it last season) and my great buddy Paul and I got to meet Nathan MacKinnon, the first over all pick. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget.
