My Little Roommates

Cayley and Cassie, my new and wonderful roommates! I mean one is my sister, who I have lived with before, but to be living with her again as adults is great. We all were given these purses, don't we look awesome!!??

They are a blessing and I am so grateful for them. Here is a picture of Cayley and I as well.

Anyway just a quick update on my life and the girls I am able to live with.

My Dear Nuggets

As a quick shout out to my beloved Nuggets and Mr. Allen Iverson himself I would like to start by saying I am so sorry for leaving you. Please know and believe that it is not you, it's me. As I am gone this year in Alabama, know that I will be checking on you daily. I was sad to see that Marcus, Eddie, and others have been traded or have gone to different teams. With no warning? Hurt I was, but I know and believe there is always a bigger plan than my own. Thank you to J.R., so glad to have you back this year and some to come! And welcome Sonny Weebs to the Mile High City! Good luck to you all! But to Mr. Iverson, I am a your big no matter the distance. Here is a tribute to you sir!

Good luck this year boys...I will be back to the promise land someday!

Home Sweet Alabama...

Well I guess I finally found my home for now. And I will say I NEVER thought I would say home sweet Alabama. I got to Birmingham, AL a little over a week ago and started working at the 'Bucks (Starbucks that is). First I would like to say, I love working there. I love coffee and I love that I get to make drinks for people. On a sort of different note, I went to work at 5:30 the other morning to learn how to open the store. When I was getting ready so early in the morning I was not excited about going outside, because as any good Coloradoan knows, the mornings are freezing, even in the summer. So I bundled up and was ready to go, but as I started thinking, I'm not in Colorado anymore, I'm in 'Bama and it is NOT cold here, even in the early early mornings. And I was right, it was warm...at 5 in the morning. Talk about culture shock, I was in it!

But I will say B'ham is a fun place, it's beautiful and so full of trees, which my Colorado is not so much known for. I am trying to figure out what to do about friends, and how to make some here. If any of you have ideas, I would love to hear them :)!! I went to a Bible Study with my roommate Cassie the other night and met a lot of cool girls. I problem is I don't if that is the church (the B.S. is through a big o' church), Brookhills Church, that I want to be apart of. I really want to be involved in a multi-cultural church, so I am not really knowing what to do. So if you think about it, will you just shoot a little prayer up to the Big Guy for wisdom for me? Thanks!

Anyway so that is my life, work, reading a many a book, and thinking of how to make friends. And may I repeat, just thinking, not acting...;)! Ok guys that is all for now!

Oh except for my newest addition to my foot and that is my tattoo. It is from Joshua 1:9 (or 1:1-9), "have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous..." and it is the Hebrew characters for strong and courageous. I got it with my cousin, Laura. We decided over a month before that wanted it when we were talking about our previous years and how both of us did not exactly have a good one and we wanted something to mark that we trust God, no matter the trials and that we will walk in strength and courage! Love it! And her little brother, my other cousin, Chad got it with us as well. It was a fun day.

This is Laura and I before we got our tats, a little scared I guess. At least she was, I was just trying to be nice!

Here is my tattoo, not the greatest picture but you get it!

Laura, Chad, and I after the deed was done, see how dang happy we are!!

Ok now for real...bye
