Diggity Denver

I am trying to make the very best of our move to Colorado.  So to do so I thought I would list some things I LOVE about the mile high city!

 

NUMBER ONE!  The first is this little gem....

Schlotzsky's is my FAVORITE sandwich joint EVER!  There used to be one in Orem but then one day I woke up and it was Panda Express.  Boy was I peeved.  My mom and I used to go on dates there and I loved the turkey bacon club on rye so much that my mom actually made up a game for my birthday one year called...Turkey bacon club on rye.  Ha, I love her.  I know there is one in South Salt Lake somewhere but honestly how often am I up there?  Well they are EVERYWHERE here!  It make me SO happy!  This is actually the place where I had my first tomato on a sandwich! (see previous post)

NUMBER TWO!

NO CONSTRUCTION!!!!!  It sure is a beauty driving in a place where you know how long it is actually going to take you to get from point A to point B because you aren't going to run into any construction.  I won't lie it was really strange when I first got out here that there were no orange cones ANYWHERE!  But I drove into down town yesterday and saw like 20.... that's it!  It is seriously magical!

 NUMBER THREE!

Cherry Creek State Park!  This lovely state park is RIGHT next to where we live.  There are lovely trails, picnic areas, camp grounds, and a beautiful reservoir! We drove through it today and it made me really excited for warm weather! And boating! and fishing! Can't wait to spend my summer here!

NUMBER FOUR!

Alright I know Sunflower Market is in Utah too but I never lived near it so I never shopped there.  But Colorado is kind of a really healthy state so these are super common and I pass two every day when I take Woody to work.  I have recently learned how fantastic this place is!  Besides their gigantic strawberries, and already prepared meat (I HATE PREPARING MEAT), they really do have great prices!  I like it! And since I am not working or anything right now I have time to buy fresh food every couple of days. YUM!

NUMBER FIVE!

Our apartment!  I seriously love where we live!  I was super nervous because I wasn't able to see anything but some crappy pictures before we signed our lease.  But my wonderful hubs did such a good job deciding where to live!  I love every part of the floor plan, I love the staff, I love our view, I love how many kids are always outside playing and not getting fat, I love the fire place, I love the bay windows in my kitchen, and most importantly I LOVE my garden size tub! (I am slightly obsessed with bubble baths).  AND it is on a main road so it is close to EVERYTHING!  Target, Walmart, movies, bowling, tons of restaurants, the State Park, and more!
We are so blessed to have found such a great place to live in such a beautiful state! Even though I miss the hell out of Utah, I think I will eventually really like it here :) I will post more as I find them!
