Because I think about relationships constantly, I consider my move to the Mountain Time Zone as a new friend I'm getting acquainted with. I wish I could play camp-style 'get to know you' games with the city...odd? Yup. Is it obvious that that was always my favorite day of camp...? Learning what peoples favorite colors, candies, boy bands and soups are. Gah. Just the best.
Well, here are some fun little factoids I've discovered about Boulder:
- Boulder is very friendly, except on the roads. People get in a motorized vehicle here and go full blown crazy.
- The farmers market every Wednesday and Saturday is my favorite time to spend with the city.
- Altitude is a big thing here. Which means I am in a constant process of applying chap stick and drinking a bottle of water.
Between getting to know Boulder and settling in, I have had this almost dramatic feeling of hope everywhere I turn. Again, I think about relationships most of the time, so whenever I see a fun looking person I automatically think, "Oh my. They could be my new best friend!" Do I actually meet any of these folks...? Nope. But I might someday!
There is some much wonder in a new place, an extreme sense of excitement, nervousness and possibilities. I think that is what fuels me every day to venture out of my (adorable) apartment to go wander. I want to know this place, I want to meet these people, I want them to become a part of my life I couldn't imagine being without.
Cheers to this new place where I will undoubtably leave a bit of my heart.
