So, I am in COLORADO!!! Pretty crazy, right! There are still so many times that I find myself thinking that I am on an extended vacation or training and that I will be headed back home to Chattanooga... Alas, I am living here in Colorado! I do miss Chattanooga a lot. I miss the Y and family and friends and so much more! I am truly enjoying my time in Colorado. It has been a wonderful adventure so far, but has has been a big adjustment... a few reason why it has been an adjustment...
1. There is always snow on the ground, and I am not exadurating when i say always... I really do where boots everyday so my ankles and feet stay warm!
2. I do not know where any thing is!!! I don't know where a car wash is, or good restaurants, or free wifi, haha it is kinda funny, but I am learning to explore and am really enjoying that.
3. I can't really pump gas or play outside without gloves on... you would not think this would be a big deal, but I am not the biggest fan of gloves... could cause a problem!
A few things that I have really enjoyed...
I have really gotten to love my team that I am a part of. I get to laugh a lot and I get to be creative and have fun! It is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL here! It is such a blessing to wake up to the Rockies every day. Surprisingly enough I have also really enjoyed some time to myself... it has been a very long time since I have had time to me.
Thank you for praying for me! I can thank you enough for that! A few ways that you can continue to pray for me or send good thoughts my way...
- Pray that I find people to get connected to! I have meet some great people, but pray that I continue to meet people and that I form deep and meaningful relationships with people.
- I am about 3.5 weeks into my job and I am learning and sitting at my desk the majority of the day is REALLY hard for me. I mean I am busy and have things to do, but I want to be out and about with people and connecting with people. I know that this summer will be so full of that, but till then, pray that I stay sane working at my desk and that I find ways to connect with people as part of my job!
- Since I have been away from the Hamilton Y, I miss my teenagers! I miss talking with them and having them in my office and talking with them about life! Pray that I continue those relationships but that I don't hold them back from building relationships from people in Chattanooga! Also pray that I find a way to get connected with teenagers in Grand County, whether that be through volunteer work or through my job!
- Keep praying that I stay confident in God wanting me to be in CO!

Oh... I do have a blog... I can't say that I write in it all the time, but for those who are interested... http://www.coawakemysoul.
It sounds fabulous. There will be times when you will wish you could be behind the desk so enjoy it while you can. Sounds like meeting new people is fun and this summer will be great. I will say a couple prays that you take a big breath every so often and enjoy the moment.
