Today is definitely a productive day on our behalf because not only was this trip to Colorado a vacation for us before I head back to work but also a trial period to see how much we liked the Denver area(which we LOVE it), to see how much housing is and what we could afford, as well try to look for job opportunities. I had an interview with Directv at 9am which the Directv call center was like 3 minutes from our hotel. The job was for a technical customer service rep and it was something I knew I could do! We completed the interview process, I let her know the restrictions as to when I could start and how much I was requesting pay wise. She told me she'd contact me in a few weeks cause they were doing interviews all week. ( I heard back from her less than a week later, she's willing to offer me the pay rate I want and hire me on. Only problem is that she wanted me to start May 14th and I don't think we'd be ready to move til the end of May early June. Therefore I held the offer not necessarily declining it but explained to her why I couldn't commit myself at thus point.) Anyways the overall interview went well, I went back to the hotel got my loves all up and ready for the day and we went house hunting. We saw some rather cute town homes and some that weren't as cute lol. There was even a moment where a complete stranger saw us looking at her town homes she lived in and offered to allow us to walk around inside her house to see the layout( yay that would never happen in California) The rest of the afternoon we just relaxed in our room.

That evening we were invited to Golden, CO which is along the mountains for dinner at one of Shauna's friends house. The drive up the mountain was beautiful, a tad bit scary at times but the scenery and views were to die for. They lived in a house that overlooked a canyon and there was still snow all over the ground but in patches. His fiance made us spaghetti with homemade meatballs! Now she's a vegetarian so she doesn't taste the meat while cooking but I can say she had the best meatballs I've ever tasted. We also had salad and garlic bread. For dessert she made homemade blueberry pie OMG yum!!!! And an Oreo shake for Shauna. They were really nice people to meet and hang out with and the enjoyed Ethan's company so much and even catered to his pickiness. Lol The drive back down was alittle scary cause it was dark and the roads were so curvy but we managed. Once we got home, back to the room, we did our nightly routine of jammies and animal shows then off to bed we went.
