Ahhhh life.
My best friend Laura left a couple of days ago but it was amazing to have her here. After just doing YWAM (youth with a mission) in Australia and Indonesia, she finally made it back to America where she traveled from California, to Arizona (with some car trouble), to New Mexico (with some bus trouble), and finally to the fine state of Colorado. Having her here was the biggest joy in my life. Officially the longest we have ever been apart (a whopping 8 months!)it was amazing to see her.
The first time I ever came to Colorado I was with her. It was twice in one summer, the first for a wedding and the second on a road trip tom petty concert with her, her mom, and her sister. Therefore, we have many memories in this great state and it was so nice to relive them.
She was able to stay in my apartment. We had the opportunity to do some fun stuff; meet my friends, travel Lakewood, the Whole Foods experience, go to church, and the best day by far was Boulder.
The day in Boulder started off with us eating breakfast at Burnt Toast, my favorite restaurant in the entire world. The first time I actually found out about it was with her family when her mom pulled the car over and asked some biker where a good place to eat breakfast was. After that we went to Pearl Street where we walked around, we did more admiring of people than actually shopping. It was a beautiful day (beautiful enough to get sunburned) and the live music was exquisite. By far our favorite was this comical older man playing classic rock songs on the piano. After that we drove up near the flat irons and over the mountain for a beautiful view of the grand rocky mountains and the boulder valley. A few days later she left me, but it was really so amazing to have her here. So if any of you get the chance to come this way, I am a great tour guide and can get you to all the hot spots :)
As for everything else. There is only three weeks of school left. My life will be filled by trying to write last minute papers, a power point project, three finals, packing up my room, and squeezing in as much rock climbing possible before I have to take a break from the sport for a full 27 days. I leave for Romania in 22 days. I posted a clock on my blog so that once I finally leave you will be able to assume what I'm doing at the current time, as there is a 9 hour time difference. I finally got my schedule for the trip and it seems as if every minute of every day is planned. I learned that we will not just be working at one orphanage but 5 different ones all run by the same organization. Our team has also split into two teams so that we can spend more time at the different locations. I'm getting nervous and excited. Although many of you wont here from me during that month, I will be keeping a journal over there and will be sure to post some of my entries on here when I return.
Th-th-th-th-th-th-thats all folks.
