It's been a while...

Jesse and I have become the go to housesitting/petsitting couple for the Denver Capital Hill neighborhood. We have 3 houses under our belt as regular customers and another one on the books. This last stint we did was for 12days. It's been a little chaotic, but we made it work. The extra money, the free laundry, and the nice house to stay in are great perks. Plus we're downtown with in walking distance to almost everything. Too bad the weather dropped from nearly 70 degrees right after my birthday to -26 degrees with in 3days. Yikes! Those big old houses can be drafty and take forever to heat up. Brrrr.... Thank goodness for fire places, hot tea, snuggies, cuddling, animal snuggling, and space heaters. If not for all of that we might have froze. The only downside was having to scoop the walkway and the sidewalk multiple times. The last stint started on my birthday and ended on Monday of this week, hence the absence in posting.

While we were down town we went out to  eat at Potager a restaurant in the neighborhood that our friends the Jeong's gave us a gift certificate too. It's a really pricey place that we probably would have never been able to try without the gift certificate. Our meal with tip was over $100, but with the certificate we only payed $27. Well worth it. So yummy!

After dinner we headed downtown to the Performing Arts Complex to watch our friend Joel perform in the choir that was accompanying the Denver Symphony Orchestra as they performed Mozart's Requiem. This was all in celebration of my birthday. We got dolled up and made a fancy night of it. We had great seats and the performance was perfect. It was a wonderful birthday night out. The tickets to the show were Jesse's present to me. It's even more perfect that it was a Mozart show since he is my birthday buddy. I don't know many other people born on January 27th, but Mozart was so it was quite fitting. We had a great night.
