"It's the Altitude"

We blame EVERYTHING on the altitude up here! If you're tired, if you're sick, moody, hyper or slept in late: it's the altitdue.

I would like to take this time to just say how amazing God is.

His plan is sincerely perfect. Thinking about where I thought I would be this summer and looking around at where I am..... Praise Jesus I don't run the universe.

This past week has been full of hiking, trips to Boulder, haircuts, cleaning, painting, and getting to know the town of Estes Park.

Our wonderful fabulous innkeeper gave us half Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off. We are crazy ahead of schedule on preparing the Inn for opening weekend (this weekend)! So the staff took sometime to hang out and become bffs :) I just adore everyone here so much! I'm getting closer with the 5 other Hospitality kiddos from OSU and I am becoming quick friends with the others.

It's snowing today!! After mopping out the cabins and painting porches the clouds barrelled in over the mountain. Trees rustled making a thunder like warning before the lightning of a gust of wind that nearly threw us off the tree stumps we were painting on. I would really like to go hike, but it's a lil too chilly :/

P.S. We hike EVERY DAY in some way shape or form. On Saturday, Dylan (from OSU) and Aly (from New Mexico) went on a climb right up the side of the mountain. I was pretty impressed with myself as i shimmied up the rocks in chacos :) Turning back and seeing the peaks, trees, and lakes.....MIND BLOWING!!! I simply adore living up here. I am so grateful that I have this opportunity :)

Quotable Moment of the Week:
Drew: "I saw Jesus in your face, and He was pissed." (said after i shot him 'The LOOK')

MORE TO COME :)

Cabin Fever

I want to run. BUT I am SO thankful for this time to work on school work. God is good and faithful :) It's just 5 short days until my FAVORITE day of the year: VALENTINE'S DAY! I know...I know... grumblegrumblegrumblegrumble Hear me out here: Forget about the pepto-pink aisles at WalMart lined with Love Note TUMS and enough candy to send you into a sugar coma for 19 months. Forget about the oversized Teddy bears that could double as couches if you ever found yourself in a pinch.Go with me here: Imagine a day where everyone has a little lift to their step, Imagine a day where sincere compliments are filling the hallways of offices and schools. Imagine smiles, all smiles, all day long. Imagine if for just one day everyone truly Loved their neighbor and treated everyone they met that day as a friend. That's the kind of Valentine's Day I'm rooting for :) More on that tomorrow :) Maybe I'll get to run too :)

Reason for the Season

"We love because HE FIRST LOVED us." 1 John 4:19 We are called to do as Christ did; Love...LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! I cannot say that enough times. We are called to LOVE everyone. Love your fellow humans. There is absolutely NO reason to not love someone ESPECIALLY after you FIRST meet them. WHat have they done to you at that point that merits a no-love response? I'm not calling any one person out, I'm just sayin: If we are to truly live out a CHRISTian walk.....we best be lovin' on peole. CHRISTmas is a time of celebration for what our God has done for us. "For He SO LOVED the world, that he GAVE His ONLY begotten Son that who so ever BELIEVES in Him, should NOT perish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16 The God of the UNOVERSE Loved YOU enough to send His Son to the Earth, live a human life, with human temptation, and die on a cross as YOUR scape goat. THIS IS A BIG DEAL! Some people cannot wrap their minds around someone loving them that much bec...

December :)

October is my favorite month, but December...oh December.....it makes me heart so happy. It's like the cute boy in your boring class who just makes it worth it. ......an oatmeal cream pie following a rigorous workout. Vanilla Raspberry Black Coffee at 5:30am.... ....a hug on a less-than-stellar day... ...a dress with pockets.... You get it. December is FANTASTIC! I am challenging myself to blog every day in December. As most of you have realized, I am a truly awful blogger when it comes to my consistency. I look at this challenge as a way to work on my reliability and commitment issues :) I'm glad I have YOU to hold me accountable :)
