My New Ride!

As promised (although a bit late!), here are a few pictures of my new car! It's a 2005 Mazda Tribute. It has done very well for my first winter storm in Denver, and I'm loving having more room! My Mustang was the first car I bought all my myself. It was tons of fun and it was kind of hard to turn those keys over. But...all in all, I'm extremely happy with my new ride!

Peace Out!

Most of you know that last weekend was my last in Dallas. It was a crazy weekend of spending time with friends and family before Trevor and I made the LONG drive to Denver this past Sunday. My last night of work at Baylor was last Monday night. I was eating my lunch when my friends Jennifer and Allison walked into the break room with some tasty snacks and this cake as a going away party for me! I enjoyed my time at Baylor. I made some great friends and I definitely learned a lot that I will carry with me for the rest of my career!


I had movers come to my apartment last Thursday to load up my furniture and unload it into storage. It was a stressful day, but Friday rolled around and it was time to party! Trevor flew in Friday afternoon and we went to Top Golf in Dallas for a going away party with several friends. If you have not been to Top Golf, I would highly recommend it! We all had such a great time.

Trevor and I (me being silly!)


Courtney and I ran the marathon in San Diego together! I was so glad she came to hang out.


Audra and I have been friends since the NICU in Lubbock! She's already staked out some plane tickets for a visit to Denver!


It was much colder that night than any of us expected, so after awhile, we all went back to my friends, Nicole and Forrest's house to hang out. Thank you all SO much for coming! I had a great time! (Kelly, do you have that picture of us on your camera? I thought I got one, but I guess I didn't on my camera!)
Saturday morning, Trevor, his grandparents, and I went to tour the new Cowboy's Stadium. That place is absolutely unreal! Here are a few of the pictures I took on the tour.






All of you also know that I am completely wrapped around the sweet, tiny fingers of my nephew, Cohen! He turned 2 years old on October 15. His 2nd birthday party was Saturday evening. He had lots of his friends and family there to celebrate with him. Here he is enjoying his cake! For more pictures of the cutest little man you have ever seen, go to www.melanieross.net. This is my sister's blog and I promise you won't be able to get enough of this perfect kiddo!


Sunday morning we got up EARLY to begin the trip to Denver. It actually went by faster than we expected, but it still took a solid 13 hours to get here. We hit a few hours of some icy and rainy weather, but it cleared up for the last hour or so.
In light of the scary icy weather, we decided that we should start looking for a more weather appropriate car for me. After lots of research, and some incredible good luck, I traded my Mustang in today for a new (well, new to me!) car! Post to look for: My New Ride!
