As a part of the Leadership Development Rotational Program I’m in for work, I’ve been relocated to Colorado for a one-year assignment in our office here in CO. We left Sunday night and arrived on Monday afternoon (with a brief overnight stay in Des Moines). The trip was long and boring, and rather uneventful. I have this week off from work and have basically been unpacking and making expensive trips to Target. I did venture out to the Cherry Creek Mall in Denver yesterday.

Since I haven’t done much cooking here in the new kitchen, here are some pictures of my kitchen in not-so-tidy form to hold you over until my next post.

The kitchen: before unpacking…

During… (please, no one buy me anymore kitchen stuff!)

And after! Back to being tidy.

And the first meal in our new place: beef tenderloin on the grill, corn on the cob, ciabatta rolls, and fruit.

This is a huge change for John and me, since we both grew up in Minnesota and all our friends and family are here. It’s been a bunch of mix of emotions so far: stress, excitement, sadness, but we’re excited for what this adventure will bring.

Thanks to King Arthur Flour on Twitter, I found this article that sums up what you need to know about high-altitude baking. Seems intimidating, but practice makes perfect! I will need to find some new friends to test recipes on.

Here’s a picture of our new home that we’ll be moving into in June. We’ll have a guest room, so you are welcome to come visit us!
