"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 :)

Dancer and Prancer

Passed midnight again, but i refuse to go to bed without bloggin this month. I will succeed at this challenge :) No runnin today, BUT I went two-steppin....figured that kinda of counted :) Tonight was the last bible study of the semester. My girls are so wonderful :) It so great to see how close we've all gotten. The study of Song of Solomon was so unbelievably rewarding. We had a good time gigglin through the poetic language, but we cannot deny the fact that we learned more than we bargained for about Love. AH! God is sosososo good :) It's crazy to think, nearly a year ago, I was worried I would not be able to minister to these girls the way God would need me to... Number 1: WHO am I to know what, or who, God will use. Number 2: He Equips, the call, He does not call the "equipped" He's Just so good :) Today will be a Double Blog Day....

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 :)

Me: All Growed Up

My lanta! FOUR years? HOW? I absolutely love that this blog is still here (especially after mourning my xanga presence...RIP). Things are a little different now. I'm almost 30. I live in my dream apartment. I'm the Director of Community Engagement at a nonprofit in Oklahoma City. I ran another half marathon. I wear glasses. I traveled...everywhere. I started volunteering at a Children's Hospital. I overcame sincere fears of airports and hospitals. I started a Master's program. I loved. I lost. I ate. I slept. I danced. I laughed. I giggled. I stopped drinking coffee for a month...WHAT...it's been wild. Jesus is still my fuel and people are still me passion. Last post, I talked about the identity of this blog. Where was it going? What will it center around? I do that a lot. I want to do something and then I talk it to death. What's the central idea?! What's the plan?! How many times will I commit to post?! What's my big picture goa...
