Hey blog world!
What a crazy past couple months.
Camp was awesome as usual, but as usual it was came with lessons that I thought I would not be learning. Started off as kitchen assistant on East Side. Some things happened and I took a break from that for the rest of the summer. Did archery for a week, west side trading post for one, then back to archery for weeks 9 & 10. The PTS were a huge blessing, and the kids that came down to the range were sweet hearts and a pleasure to be around. I honestly don't know how to describe this summer without either breaking into tears, or yearning to just be done with school and go back for seasonal staff for a bit. As always though, it was an honor and blessing above all to serve at camp again, and I don't think I can thank God enough for the people He has put in my life and what He has taught me those three months.
Was home for a week, packed, got some things sorted out, then headed out to Denver.
I have been living in my apartment for about a week and a half now. The location is quite perfect, persay a few things. Whole Foods is half a mile walk, Denver Public Library is half a mile walk, and Panera is .3 mile walk :) There is a lovely little coffee shop just around the corner, and downtown isn't too far off either.
I'm on the fourth floor, and no joke the people across the alley are no more than 5 feet away, but it's not too bad overall. Layout is a studio, which basically means one big room. Fridge, stove, sink, little oven, microwave, the basic works to get by without too much fanciness; but the company that runs the apartments feels the need to charge top dollar, whoop tee doo :P
Back at my old job, along with the internship (further detail below), for a few hours a week. The manager was more than happy to have me back, but was kinda sad to hear my limited hours. I love this location though and would be more than happy to go back full time if the occasion arises. Internship: it's basically Monday through Friday, 7a to 3p, but that could change with special events and such. At the moment I am the only intern, but there is the pastry chef and she told me it was going to be hard work, but it is fun at the same time if we make it that way.
More in the past few days. I worked 10.5 hours because someone had to go home early, which wasn't too bad because it was closing and it was the assistant and myself so we got everything done in a timely manner and what not. Oh, and work is little over a mile walk so been doing that walk twice a day for the past four days, yay for exercise at creepy hours of the morning; but no, it's actually a pretty safe and decent commute.
Was coming back today from work, and my bike is in a locked enclosed area on the side of the apartment building. Quickly took a look, and my front tire was missing. So, unless I can learn to do wheelies anytime soon, thinking I should bring the bike up so further damage does not ensue.
Furnishings are almost complete, except three drawers on the kitchen table. Story on the sofa. I was coming back from something a few days ago, and a couple was putting a recliner and loveseat on the curb; signs saying free. I inquired and the guy said I could have whatever I wanted. Long story short, I now have a lovely light tan leather loveseat in my apartment, and minus a little sweat from putting it in the elevator, it was free. Could use a little TLC, but thanks be to God for the provision and blessing; especially since it's leather, aaahhhh (angelic singing :). Anywho....
That's life up to this point.
Actually quite anticipating the start of school, seeing friends, and to get on with life and start new adventures and meet new people and to keep going.
Oh, and Ikea tells people to put their furniture together with someone because then you can both have blisters on your hands from putting a table together :)
