On Thursday at 5:30, my boss came to me in my office and asked if I wanted to fly to Phoenix on Friday to deliver some satellite parts to one of our contractors. I told him that I'd pass since I had already purchased tickets to fly to Denver for the weekend. He told me I could make my Air Force ticket fly me to Phoenix and then Denver, so I told him he had a deal.
I ended up getting into Denver around 1pm on Friday and was picked up by Sarah. We immediately headed over to Kara and Erik's place because our friends Kurt, Tracy, and their one year old Nick had flown into town for the weekend from Seattle. This was the first time we had all gotten together since September and was the first time we all got to meet their kid.
On Saturday, Sarah and I took off to purchase things for our new house. Since most of the towels and stuff I own are hand-me-downs from when I went off to college, we decided that it might be a good time to purchase new things since we're moving into a new house.
We ended up spending a fortune at Bed Bath and Beyond, but we got all three bathrooms decked out in towels and rugs, plus I used it as an excuse to purchase a new set of pans. Since my stuff wouldn't move to Denver for another two months, Sarah would need something to cook with, so I purchased a new 13 piece kit of stainless steel pans for me, er... for her.
On Saturday the weather was perfect. It was 75 and sunny all day. When we woke up in the morning however, there was 6 inches of snow on the ground and it's still snowing like crazy. Since none of us really felt like doing anything outside, we pretty much just hung out at the Anderson's until around 2:30 when we headed over to Christina and Greg's place.
From there the Masey's had to head off to the airport to catch their flight back to Seattle, and Sarah and I had to head up to Westminster to purchase a few more things for the house. We also stole an air mattress from Greg so that she and I could spend our first night in our new house.
In typical hilarious fashion, after we get all moved in and ready for bed, our smoke detectors decide to beep every two minutes. I run through the house resetting them all to try and make it stop. That doesn't work. I then remove all of the batteries. Still freaking beeping. I pull one off the ceiling and realize they are hard wired into the house, so I proceed to un-install all of them. The beeping stopped, now we just have to hope there isn't a fire anytime soon.
