Just a little update!

Well I don't have any new pictures for this blog..... but I figured I'd let everyone know how I've been doing!

     I have been feeling so blessed lately!!! I have a job that is paying me well and I have gotten two paychecks already!  I love having work but I also love having days off! I work mostly 24 hour shifts... which are EXHAUSTING but the pay is good.  I worked two in a row last week.... that was quite a challenge but praise the Lord it went well.   The couple that I work with every Wednesday and Saturday are very sweet and I enjoy working with them (most of the time!).  Working can test your patience and kindness but I know that I will grow as a person through this job!
     I've also been interviewing for another job in a spine center!!! This is an amazing job and I'm praying so hard that I get it!  (all prayers are welcome!!!)

     Lauren and I have picked a church and we love it! We haven't attended the college group yet but are tonight!! We have talked to a couple of the girls and they are very inviting and friendly! I look forward to making new friendships :)  We both really love the pastor! He is full of little jokes while preaching directly out of the Bible.  He has been doing a series on the Provisions of God! It's been amazing considering that finances are one of my new top concerns in life with all of my bills!

Well that is the update :) Lauren and I did some more decorating so I will put some pictures of that up soon!!!! Thank you all for your prayers :)

Feels like FOREVER!

I know that it has been a LONG time since I last posted (or it seems like it at least!).  I've been busy working for Visiting Angels as a Caregiver! So far I really like it (though my patience is being tested sometimes!).  I actually have an interview for a front office job today also so, I'm praying that if it's the Lord's will I might get this job also!  
   
      In the mean time.... This Labor Day we (Lauren, Dillon, and I) went for another hike! This time we actually went into the Rocky Mountain National Park.  We purchased an annual entrance card so there will be many trips back up the mountains!  It was a challenge finding the trails for us and that always seems to be the problem! We started the day off kind of late but it was so worth going up there again before it gets too cold!

The drive up is really beautiful! As you can see the clouds are just amazing! That is one of my favorite things about CO! Those clouds are beautiful!

We were heading to the hiking trails when all of a sudden the car in front of us stopped! And low and behold two deer just hopped across the road! Lucky for us, another one was still waiting to cross so Lauren snapped a quick photo! 

The hills are just full of trees!!! So much so you can't even see the ground. 

This was one of the lakes we stopped at on our hike! It was full of lilly pads, which for me I don't think I've ever seen (at least like this!).  

My hiking buddies! They are quite hard to get pictures of! I guess they only like goofy pictures! 

Sometimes I just take them without permission! 

These little chipmunks are CRAZY!!! They would run right up behind you!!! We were all sitting on a rock at the end of our hike and one of them ran RIGHT behind Lauren and then headed for me! I've never seen either of us move so fast! 

I'm always the one taking the pictures... but I made Lauren take one of me so that I can actually be in my blog! 

A lovely little stream! 

Whenever there is water, we use it to cool off! This water was so clean too! 

We took a short cut up the rocks! Can you find Lauren? 

Yet another lake! There is even snow on the mountains still! 

Now this picture is just a amazing to me! I didn't do anything to it! I just took the picture and it turned out beautiful! God's creation is BEAUTIFUL! 

This was the last stop of the hike! 

It was so pretty! 

This deer was right off of the trail! I didn't quite get my camera out in time to get a great picture :( 

And the drive home... Dillon and Lauren fell asleep again! I had to have a Rockstar in order to stay awake.

It was such a lovely hike! There will be pictures of more to come!
