It's been a few weeks since I've blogged! I was busy for about 8 days entertaining my sister, niece and nephew while they were here!We went to Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods, Boulder, Denver Zoo, Children's Museum, Red Rocks, Hiking, etc. I thoroughly enjoyed their visit!
Yesterday started my and Erica's official training for our half marathon in August. Running at this altitude and will all these hills is tough. Doing 2 miles killed me and I can usually do that pretty easily in Florida. My goal for the marathon is to avg an 12/13 min mile, which sounds like a lot but right now my avg is 18 min mile so bringing it down 6 mins would be a lot for me. I guess I should really say my goal is to actually finish the 1/2 marathon in one piece and basically not die :). They only give you 3.5 hours to run the 13 miles so it'll be a close one I think.
On Sunday night I met up with my best friend from Kindergarten, Lesley Atkinson. It's crazy what social media can do for you these days. I saw that she was visiting from Charlotte and she invited me to go see a NC bluegrass band at a club downtown. We haven't seen each other since elementary school but it was like we had been friends this entire time. She took this picture of us and sent it to her mom and said "Guess who I'm hanging out with?" and her mom replied "Jamie Damcott". Guess I haven't changed much in 20 years. :)

I'm still a little anxious and nervous about not having a job but I am learning to trust that God will provide for me and am very blessed that I have the support of my family about the whole situation and am thankful that they aren't hounding me about it. I'm very thankful for the family God has blessed me with! I do miss the little family gatherings but hopefully soon I will have my own "family" of friends here (stupid Broncos, sent my husband away from me).

Go Braves!

I got to go see my Braves play tonight. It was quite the exciting game. We came back from being down 6-0 to win 12-9, a fan got hit by a foul ball and had to be carried off by a stretcher (not sure exactly why though), it started raining in the 8th inning so they delayed the game and then it started hailing, a fan near us got kicked out because he brought in a bottle of liquor (which is prohibited). Another exciting thing is I got to see Chipper play one last game before he retires at the end of the season. It's crazy to think about him not being there because he's been with the Braves the entire time I've been a Braves fan! He debuted with Atlanta in 1993 and spent his entire career with them. It's nice to see that some people and teams are still loyal these days b/c that just doesn't happen anymore, especially if your career is 19 years!
In other news, I still haven't found a job and am getting a little discouraged about it. I do have to go take a test on Microsoft Office for the city/county of Denver for an admin position. It says it's going to take 3 hrs to take the test which is crazy cause my NATA test was 3 hours and I feel like it was a little more important. :) Anyways, please just say a prayer for me that I will get a job and be at peace about things.
