Not all those who wander are lost: Once every 6 months?

Well folks, life stays steady in Denver. Job is going well. A lot of new employees at the hotel, which makes things interesting...I've been getting involved in some of the training and taking more of a leadership role, since having been there for a year I have gained quite a bit of seniority!

Life has been teaching me a lot about relationships through the past year in Denver. Without the school relationships to build friendships from, I've been learning the value of making the most of small conversations, and planning coffee dates! I think I took all the "hanging out" time in college for granted. I am so grateful to have a church community to be connected with and to find friends through. I just can't imagine myself finding lasting friendships through the bar scene! I still have a lot to learn about what it means to build a true community, but we take baby steps, and that is how we learn. My current goals are to get beneath the surface level in every conversation by truly listening and asking relevant questions. I knew some friends at Calvin who were fabulous at that... I want to learn from their example!

I'm going to visit friends and family in the Midwest next weekend. Stoked to finally meet my brother's girlfriend! And to see my cousin in his high school production of Beauty and the Beast :)

I don't come on here very often anymore, but i got a new camera, and took lots of pictures the past few days :) a few of my favs:
