First Major Denver Snowstorm

WOW! That pretty much sums today up. We woke up and saw a TON of snow on the ground. We have had about three or four previous snow days, but this time it was sticking to the ground and the streets had to be constantly plowed today.





Ashley and I had to use our new ice scrapers to clean off our cars. It wasn't too bad though because it was just snow and not ice on the windshield.





Ashley's truck filled up almost completely with snow. We tried to clean it out but by the time we got back from errands, it was pretty full again.





After we cleaned our cars, we headed out to run errands.





My car was covered by the overnight snow. It has been snowing non-stop all day long.





The City of Denver workers were busy plowing all streets around the city.








I took Cali to a nearby park to play in the snow. I came across this park bench that was covered in snow.





This is Cali's first time in the snow. She really likes to run around and chase her frisbee but she also loves to eat the snow! Someone needs to tell her that eating snow will actually make her more thirsty!








The snow continued through the evening and is supposed to continue all day Thursday.





This is the first video I've tried to upload to the blog. I know it's not awesome but at least it shows the snow all over the ground!





I had to stop and fill up some gas, and saw that the snowfall looked really cool against the street light.


So a little update on our lives: Ashley got a job with Adams County. Her first day is next Monday. She will be responsible for interviewing prospective foster parents in Adams County. It's a different job than she had in San Angelo, so she is excited for the new challenge. As for me, I had an interview at the Boulder Police Department for a Records Specialist position. The first part of the interview was basically a pre-employment interview where they just ask basic questions and then I had to take a 80 question computer multiple choice test. Then they emailed me today asking me to come back next Wednesday for an oral board interview, where I will be in front of 3 to 4 people firing questions at me. There are two positions and at least three people interviewing. The job sounds really fun. There will be a good amount of assisting officers and detectives with their investigations, something that really interests me. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things go well next week.

I do miss photography. I can definitely tell from my photos these days that I'm rusty. Part of me is sad to put a photo job in the rear-view mirror, but who knows what the future holds.

We haven't really planned too much of our wedding yet. It's hard because we really want to get married in California but we don't really have any opportunities to go try to find some places. Hopefully during the Christmas trip we are planning back home, we can find some time to pick a spot. We are hoping to have a wedding in the Fall of 2010. But it all depends on if the spot we like is available.

Another round of snow on Thursday!!!
