First off I should say, I love Denver and the two years I have lived here. I love the city and the restaurants and the over-sized animal statues. I love my job and the company I have been lucky enough to work for. I really love the people I’ve met here, real lifetime friends that I hope to always have in my life. But, no matter how much I love a place, when I feel the need to move on, I need to move on.
In the last week, I accepted a new job (a great job I couldn’t be more thrilled about), gave notice at the company I currently work for, and began the process of moving my life from Denver to Salt Lake City. Yes, I am coming back. Close to family and many dear friends–I am excited to start a new life in a familiar place.
I officially move on May 16th so I have LOTS to do until then. In the next three weeks I will be writing some posts about some of my favorite things in Denver so stay tuned for that.
Also upcoming…taking advantage of my transition period coinciding with the news that my parents are moving away from Hong Kong in July, I decided to go on a 2 week trip to China in June. Crazy! So you can expect some travel notes on the blog after I return from that adventure.
I feel very blessed with all the great things happening in my life right now. Life is never perfect but so far 2009 is really doing well by me and for that I am very grateful.
Erin! I am so excited. I know Denver will miss you but I selfishly must admit that their loss is our gain. I am so happy for you and your upcoming adventures.
How exciting! Best of luck with the move, the new job, and everything else!
Hip hip Hooray! We couldn’t be more thrilled. Wish I could be there to help you pack up and move–BUT I am so excited you are coming back to Hong Kong for one last visit before we leave. Hurrah!
i’m with jill in my completely selfish elation.
i. can’t. wait.
Oh I am so excited ~although I really wanted to go to Fancy Tiger ~oh well I rather have you close by.
I can’t believe it’s been two years! Congrats on the new job – I’ll actually get to see you now!
Oh, but Denver will miss you SO much. I will miss you so much. So. Much. But, I do wish you the best in Salt Lake. So. Much.
It seems like you just moved to Denver! But you’re like me and get itchy feet in a place after awhile. I’m so excited for you and your upcoming adventures! What’s the new job? Glad everything is great for you!
I really admire the way you and your sister, Kara are not afraid to spice up your lives with adventure. Good luck on your move, vacation, and new job. Sounds exciting!
yea erin! i’m so glad everything seems to have worked out so well AND that a china trip gets thrown into the mix! and that means i get to see you more often, since i make it out to utah a lot more than i do colorado.

We’ll love welcoming you back! If you need anything let us know.
Congratulations on the job, and best of luck with the move!
It will be great to have you back.
Exciting! We can’t wait to have you back

Hurrah!
Two words: YA YA!
Congrats on such a great decision. Was that scream of elation I heard just a moment ago from Kara?? I can’t imagine the sewing havoc you will wreak now. All the best to you.
What exciting news! Good luck with all of it!
Congratulations! I can’t wait to hear more. I can’t believe that you’re coming just after I leave…or wait, was that planned?
Congratulations! Best of luck with your upcoming move!
Not sure I’m okay with this… But really, so excited for you to start a new chapter! Maybe we can teleconference you into book club?
I am selfishly very sad to see you leave denver. I will miss you so much. You have done so much good in denver. We love you. One day we will be together again, I am sure of it. I love you.
Wow! I can’t believe it has been that long already. I remember when you wrote about deciding to make the change to your current location.
Good luck on new adventures!
Yay!! Go, Erin! I’m so happy for you and excited to see where life takes you from here =).
Erin,
When I first read this post, I immediately thought have I been reading this blog that long! Eunny Jang pointed me to your blog, because I was having problem changing the colors in the Venezia Pullover. I’ve been hooked since then! I’m glad that you had this experience and even happier that you are going home! CONGRATS!!!
YAY! We get to have you back? You’d better be coming to SnB and occasionally drag Kara along with you. We miss you guys!
Yesssssss!
oh wow! It sounds like all the change is going to be great, and congrats on the new job!!!
2 years really? Hope your move goes well! Can’t wait for your upcoming posts!
