First week here

So this is my 5th day living here in Colorado. Everything is so beautiful here it almost takes my breath away. Its amazing that all these years I always found tall buildings beautiful...now I know what I was missing out on. Its so warm here, I feel pretty lucky to not be in snowy/cold/windy Chicago anymore. Although I find myself missing the cold, its not right for it to be 70 degrees in February.
I am still unpacking but I keep getting distracted by other things. I didn't realize that Erik and I had so much stuff. I thought we got rid of 80% of all our stuff...obviously not. Erik is off working so its up to me to get us settled in. I am slowly going through each room and trying to set it up to our taste. This is difficult when I keep hearing the bright sunshine call my name and beckoning me outside.
Today we are going to have dinner with another couple. Of course all the people here are Erik's friends, but it will be nice to go out and interact even if I don't know them well. Everyone here is so nice and trying to help us get settled. But this still feels so weird to be here and to know no one. I pray that this will feel like home soon...
