Good Ole CO

Man. It feels like it has been months since I last wrote a post. It feels like it has been months since I have been in Colorado. But I haven't even lived here for a whole month! But can I tell you a secret? I am so incredibly happy with where I am in life right now. I am busy and sometimes overwhelmed but I am so so happy. God is good, always.

There are so many things that I want to be able to write and say - but honestly it has been a long day. It's been a long few weeks. Between being thrown into a new job and having to catch on quick to flying out to Seattle for a weekend to get my Lifeguard Instructor cert. I've been re-writing policies and procedures, buying near gear, writing staff training manuals, and attending leadership meetings. I'm in charge of First Aid for all of camp, the horse program, all of the ropes, water and recreation activities. This summer I'll have 17 people directly reporting to me. Did I mention that I'm 24? Sometimes I just stop and think about my job and all of the responsibility that is in my hands. I love what I am doing. I am being challenged daily, I'm learning new things and I am in an amazing community of people!

I've only been here about a month and I feel like I have friends who I have known for months and months. I am connected in a church and go to a small group. I am busy and energized.

Oh and it is so stinkin' beautiful here! Even though we have gotten loaded with snow multiple times. I have also been able to invest in doing things that I love to do like climbing! Yesterday I went out climbing on real rock for the first time this season! It was so much fun and such an incredible natural high. I can't wait to get back out on the rocks and continue to learn more and get stronger. And I really just enjoyed being back in God's creation. Don't worry, I'm sure that I'll post some outdoor climbing pictures soon :)

I know that this isn't that big of an update, but it is also kind of hard to give updates when so much time has passed. I am going to try my best to continue to write more consistently, but please allow for some grace as summer comes closer. My schedule will get nothing but busier.

Until next time, take a deep breath, like a really deep breath, and just be in the moment you are in.
