So I got up at the normal time of about 7:15 feeling like crap like I do every morning cause I would love to just sleep allllll day, and come to find out that we didn't need to be to our first class till 9! So I'm killing time by writing this blog update!
I've had quite a bit of fun lately, but not especially doing Americorps things, for now thats been more on the boring side. Like Saturday night some of us went on an adventure to find a movie theater a couple miles away. It should've taken 30 minutes, but instead took 90 minutes, because every time we took a turn there would be a stupid fence, river, or highway in the way. We did eventually find it after walking on some highways and scrambling down some steep concrete hills. But it was very fun, and it was great to spend some quality convo time with people.
Abigail and I then spent sunday with Sarah! And what a great day it was! She picked us up at 10:30 and drove us back to Ft. Collins. We then got a free lunch at The Carosuel Dinner Theater and a free show cause Sarah was in Rent! Free free free! Rent was quite good, it was the first time Abigail and I had ever seen Rent. The kids in the show and Sarah were so good, and their voices were beautiful. The play itself is a tad strange, but oh well.
We got to see Sarah's apartment and her cute pug named Pugsy! What an original name right? She then drove us back to Denver, and as Abigail chilled at a Barnes and Nobles, Sarah again treated me to STAR WARS IN CONCERT!!!! It was the most chill inducing thing I've ever seen! Watching a huge orchestra play Star Wars music, with giant screens playing scenes, and Anthony Daniels himself hosting, was a highlight of my year! You have to experiance this live to fully appreciate Star Wars music! We ended the perfect day with some Hard Rock Cafe. It was so great to spend time with my sis, "a little piece of home."
On the Americorps side of things we've just been doing a lot of training and lessons and having us drive 16 passenger vans up and down mountains. You know, mundane things. :) I was having second thoughts about all this Americorps stuff, but it gets better every day and I become more and more used to it. If you want to see pictures, check out my facebook. It takes many moons to load pics to blogger.
Hope all is well with those not here.

Sounds like you are having fun as you get acclimated to both your physical and social environment. We're praying for ya, keep me updated on any good books you come across. Maybe we need to do an online book club with Dave.
hey keith! i read forgotten god by francis chan, it was eye opening. It really helped being where i am right now so far away from all that I'm comfortable with
I will look for it this week and give you my take... for what that's worth.
Being away from what is comfortable makes you examine who you are and what defines you. Like they say, Where ever you go, there you are!!!
