wild wild west-bound

My bedroom door....entry way...my "wing" of the house, as people like to refer to it....
Bed and bedside drawers/table.....awesome furniture on loan from Neumann!
And the furniture continues.....little wall cut outs for some added detail to the master bedroom.
The walk-in closet with a few feet of more closet area to the left and right as well.....it's almost like a room in itself...

So, I've enjoyed calling Denver the "wild wild west" after one of the kids I used to work with at the clinic asked where I was moving and responded with "Oh, is that in the wild wild west?" in his little Baltimore-ish accent. Anyways, I thought it was about time for an updated post, but then I remembered my pace that I've set....1 per month. Haha! Well, I hope to be a little better, but at least this is a start. A friend asked if my blog was a writing blog or a picture blog, I know I've written quite a bit on previous entries, however I hope to start a more balanced set of postings with pictures and writing.

The trip is set for an early Thursday morning departure from Baltimore. Alicia and I will head straight to South Bend, IN to see my cousin Matt. We'll spend the night in IN and then head out to Chicago, IL the next morning for a midday rendezvous with my cousin Jenny. Then from Chicago we'll trek through a few states to get to Sioux Falls, SD where we will spend the night in a hotel. Saturday morning we'll head straight for the Badlands area and Mt. Rushmore for some national park and land mark exploring. After a few hours in that area we'll muster all the energy, adrenaline, and sweet IPOD mixes to drive straight to Denver for a late night arrival!!!

That's our plan and we're sticking to it! :)

I will post some more pictures of the house and trip when life settles down....for now I need to go to sleep so that I have energy to get a ton of packing done tomorrow!
