Hello from wonderful Greeley Colorado! Its been an exciting trip so far, but time is passing quickly. I think that in some ways it hasn't yet hit me that I'll be returning to Albania in about a week and a half (is that right?)
I have had the luxury of sitting at my mom's computer with all this fast and free internet. The computer still has a few problems like shutting down randomly (it could do so any minute) but at least I can upload things onto the internet!
My flight here was alright. It was really long and then to top it off I got stuck in Washington DC for a few hours. I have been saying that it is a result of my stupidity (30%) and United Airlines being totally incompetent (70%). I missed my flight in DC, and then after recieving a lecture from the woman at the customer service counter was issued a standby ticket. Too bad for me that everybody in Washington DC had decided to travel to denver that day. I waited out two flights and then there was a flight at 9:30 that night that I didn't expect to get onto because they said that it was overbooked by 20 people. Luckily I did make it onto that flight to get into Denver around 1am, but I didn't have a cell phone so I couldn't call my mom to have her pick me up until I made it into Denver. I guess I could have used the airplane phone, but for some reason this didn't occur to me. Anyways I made it home around 3:30 in the am and here I am.

A lot of things have happenned since too. I'll make a list for you:
1) We got a big blizzard, I think it was the second or third biggest in Colorado history or something. That was cool because I was snowed in my house for a few days.
2) I saw my new niece and nephew. They are about 4 months old now and really cute. Jordan is the boy and Lexi is the girl
3) I saw other misc family members like my mom, brother, dad, aunts, uncles, cousins, sister and inlaws
4) My dad had a water pipe freeze and then later burst under his house. I came for the freezing but not for the bursting.
5) I became a Nuggets fan when I heard that Alan Iverson was coming to Denver. Now can we say the words Nuggets and Playoffs in the same sentence?
6) Celebrated Christmas. This one is a given.
7) Ate some great food. This may be what I have been looking forward to the most. Mexican food, christmas type food and everything. Its been great.
8) Heard that Gerald Ford died. Maybe I am a nerd, I won't debate this with you. Gerald Ford was not what I would call a great president by any means. He wasn't even really a president... more just filler material. I still like to see the funerals and the things that accompany a president's death. This is also an interesting time to see random people analyze the presidency. Nobody is going to say that he was a bad president right after he died though.
9) I am going to an Avalanche game tonight!
10) Watched a lot of great TV. I really miss TV sometimes like Seinfeld reruns, the Daily Show and Colbert Report, and the Simpsons. I also watched a little bit o' football. The Broncos beat the Bengals with a fluke, but it made for a good ending.
11) I really wanted to connect with a lot more people, but that blizzard really threw things off. We'll have to connect before I leave though.

Well, thats about all for now. I think I'll get off before this computer shuts down randomly. Hopefully I'll post again before I'm through here.
