Today marks 3 years since I packed my life up and moved cross country by myself.
I had never lived alone, had no family and just 2 friends here, and spent about 5 days total in the state prior to my move. But I had never felt so called to a place before… so I really just hit the restart button on my life.
3 years later and it is like nothing I would have imagined.
This past year alone I went to 2 different natural hot spring resorts
took ANOTHER road trip through the American Southwest
climbed FIVE 14,000ft mountains (one with a couple of friends I consider my day 1 homies who I would have never met had I not moved here!!)
traveled to Japan with my love (who I also was meant to meet here!)
saw some of the most beautiful sights while off roading my Jeep (I can credit her with bringing me to Colorado in the first place)
checked out one of the biggest burial sites of dinosaur bones in the world
went to countless concerts (including 2 at Red Rocks)
and still thankfully got to visit home 4 separate times.
But none of that includes all of the countless day trips from my place here in Denver… the strong friendships I’ve made… the clients I have had the pleasure to work with here… the community I’ve been building.
On one hand, I can’t believe 3 years have already passed so fast but on the other, I feel I’ve lived SO much life in such a short time.
So grateful for all the people that have helped make Colorado feel like home. Here’s to year 4. ♥️
