off to denver

The next leg of my little cross-country one-way ticket sent me to Denver. Jen brought me to O'Hare and I promptly found out that my flight was delayed by over an hour; meaning at 12 midnight landing in Denver. However, I did manage to squeak a free upgrade out of the deal and enjoyed my warm nuts and chocolate chip cookie in first class.

Laura was there to pick me up from the airport after I walked around baggage claim three times to figure out where my luggage was. I never listen to which carousel I'm supposed to be at; a bad habit that I should have fixed by now.

Laura also had some strawberry pie for a 1am bedtime snack when we got to her apartment. She's such a thoughtful sister! Matt had us over last night for turkey soup. It was great to catch up with them both for supper. The soup was good, too. Matt is finishing some classes in Denver before heading up to Alaska for another summer on the boats and Laura is working a contract for the company that holds the United States Antarctic Program contract right now.

My plane ticket ends here, so I'll be sticking around the area for a bit while continuing the job search. I have a few friends in the area who I hope to see while I'm around as well.
