Welcome to Colorado!

This is how I was welcomed to Colorado.....

Sorry for this bad quality picture of this beautiful picture...my camera was packed away from the trip when we passed them, and I just couldn't help but grab a picture with my phone.

Yesterday was so eventful, and surreal! I flew on the first plane I've ever flown on...ALONE. I actually didn't really freak out all that much, however the guy behind me is a different story. Breathing into the puking bag, throwing around some words that shouldn't have been used around the somewhat loud child on the other side of the aisle, and just over all having a rough time.

I got to catch a tram to take me to where my baggage was...yep, the airport is that big.

I went and toured the school I will be going to, the YWAM in Colorado Springs...its so cool! Its in an old Hilton...so my dorm is a hotel room, fully furnished! I'm not sure if I'm happy I don't get to bring dorm "stuff"..it will save my parents money that's for sure. And its surrounded with mountains!

I and saw some lovely people that I last saw when I was about 4 years old.. I didn't really remember them, just their 2 sons, who used to take me to jump on the trampoline with them. It was too cool getting to catch up with them, and they live right down the road from the school, so any time I need to get away, I have people who I'm sure will become like family rather quickly.

I got caught in a flash flood..like we sat still in the road for over an hour. At least Auntie and I had our starbucks. Seriously though, about 6 cars ahead of us, the car that was there had weeds and pebbles all over it, the flash flood literally caught it. Crazy stuff!

When we got back to the house, Lorie was waiting for us...so much fun. I haven't seen her since I was 8 (we figured out that it has literally been about half of my life since then). 

Today, I shall be touring the Rocky Mountains with Aunt Leonie and Lorie...hoping to see some elk and Mountain Sheep!

So there you are..you're all caught up to date on my trip so far, and I haven't even been here for 24 hours!
