Well , I guess I haven't been great at keeping up with this, but here's an update on my life in Boulder so far.
My parents and Nate's dad visited a little while back. It was really nice to see some family and catch up with everybody. We got to show them where we live, which was fun because we are so busy its hard for us to get out and explore. We visited the Celestial Seasonings factory in Longmont where they make all their tea. I'm excited to try lots of different varieties. We showed them Chatauqua, where you can hike up the Flatirons or just see the entire area. We live right up against the Rocky Mountains to the west, but to the east is flat, probably til you get to the Appalaichians. We ate at a great little Italian place, so if anyone else comes to visit we know where to eat! We also ate at the Dushanbe Tea House, which was a gift from Boulder's sister city in Tajikistan. We saw the farmers market with Nate's dad, and the Denver zoo, and had dinner with the family Nate stayed with all summer. We also spent a night up at the Keystone ski resort in Nate's dad's condo, walked around Breckenridge, explored Red Rocks Park, and saw a buffalo. We've also tried out some thai recipes with spices we bought at a spice shop downtown, they turned out great! and we also made chicken parmasan and a pot roast!
I'm allowed to run a little bit. I can walk for a bit, jog for a minute or two, then walk for a couple minutes, then jog another minute or two, etc.. I'm also still biking to stay in shape at the rec center.
School is going well, I just started a design project for earthquake engineering, its amazing how much we have learned already.
I'd like to start growing my own tea. But apparently you want your tea plant to be at least three years old before you harvest any leaves, so I'm still working out the details.
