My World is Changing, I'm Rearranging

Nearly 3 weeks..... I am SOOOOOO sorry! Internet is pretty sketching up here on the mountain and when I do have it, I simply forget to blog. Life is amazing. Yes, the title for this one is from The Grinch. I've realized lately how much i am changing and how life around me is changing. Two of my best friends in college are getting married in just under a month. Half my friends have graduated and moved on to "the real world." I went rock climbing... That's right, rock climbing!! The 5', terrified of heights girl went rock climbing! It was AMAZING! Seeing God's creation from that level is just a crazy level of AWE! God has been doing SO much in my life here! He has brought me some great friends, fun times, and opportunites to share His love. What a priviledge! I miss my family and friends so much, but I am so blessed to be here and learn as much about the hospitality industry as I can. This was short. I PROMISE I'll write more about adventures later :)

Good Day

We sang a song at Rocky Mountain Church on Sunday that shared the same title as my post today. It was all about the sunrising over the mountains and the elk walkin along the side of the road and rather the rain came or stayed away it was going to be a Good Day. Why? Because God created each day for us to enjoy and share with others. The amazing part of the song was we were singing about what was right outside our windows. I just stopped and stood there realizing that I am essentially livin in my idea of paradise. I don't say this to brag, I say this because I am completely in awe of what God is doin! He put me here for a very specific purpose. He knows the desires of my heart. That is so comforting to see it played out. Yes, the Bible says this, and I believe it with all my heart, but seeing it comes to life just puts your heart in a whole new place of worship and "Yes God, You are who You Are" This place just puts a lot into perspective :) The week is going rather well S...

The Hustle and Bustle

I feel the need to apologize. I understand it has been nearly two weeks since a post. The week before Opening of the inn on Friday 28th, we cleaned and painted and trained and tried to get everything as awesome as possible for openin weekend! Our wonderful boss gave us the day off Wednesday of that week, so we went to Denver! We took in the sites of the 16th street mall and a brewery with AWESOME food :) The bike racks in the parking garages made my day! I did discover that Denver might not be for me...maybe a lil TOO big city. I am def more of a suburb/mountain lady. The guarded, lockdown bathrooms in ROSS were enough for me to decide Boulder might be the Colorado city for me. That night we experienced the joy of bargaining with scalpers for Rockies tickets. Finding 10 seats together for under $20 each is tough, but our boys managed to make it happen :) The game ended up being SOSOSOSOSOSOSO fun! Rockies won 7-3, a hail storm passed right over the stadium..it was grand! I had a ball w...
