life changes and evolves

It’s been a little while since I have updated! Sorry for the time gap. This summer was crazy busy and life hasn’t slowed down much since then! I am playing volleyball on a league with 3 ex college volleyball players, so they are amazing and I try to keep up. I have been learning a lot, but it’s been a blast and I look forward to every time I get to play with them! I am working at least 5 to 8 shifts a week, more this past week cause we had someone quit, but things are going good at work. They are like my little work family. There are really only about 20 people on the whole staff and you get to work with everyone quite frequently, so you get very close. Luckily for me, we have very quality people with great personalities, and are very good at their job making it easier for everyone to do theirs. I have started attending an open minded church and have went for about a month now. Not sure I will be joining, but it’s always good to feel accepted and appreciated by those around you for your talents and skills. I was asked to sing in their choir this past week, so I attended my first practice this past Wednesday, and it was very difficult! It’s so weird, all of their music is in different languages, and seeing as I don’t speak any other languages…. It’s been very difficult, but they gave me a solo to perform, so they must think I am ok. :P I volunteer once a week and tutor kids who are having troubles with their math, science or reading, and I really like that. I have a few kids remind me a lot of my little munchkins I taught tumbling. Always hard thinking back to how life used to be SO different.
So ya, that is a generic update on what my day to day life is!
About 2 and a half weeks ago I had someone important leave my life, for what appears to be for good. It sucks, to put it nicely, but I guess it was a growing experience that I needed(?) to go through. Luckily for me I had something else to focus on… MY Parents and little brother were coming to visit Denver for the first time!?!? I was so stoked! And had so much stuff to get done. I had to combine all my stuff into one bedroom because we moved another roommate into my house, so I had SOOO much shit lying around my bedroom. So I had been trying to fix my closet so it could hold more clothing, while getting a new dresser to hold the rest of my clothes (apparently I have a LOT of clothes). But anyway, I finally got some help to finish my closet, thanks B (I have the best co-workers ever)!

And all on the same day I found a free dresser, so I picked that up and painted it! So it was a great day! I got my closet finished and painted my dresser! It was great, that way I was almost ready for my family to come to town! I cleaned up my bedroom and was ALL ready to go for my family (mom, dad, and Tyler) to get here. The first night they were here we went to dinner at my restaurant. It was good! 2nd day, I took my fam to my favorite little chineese place in Denver! Then we walked the 16th street mall and me and my mom got to have a great little talk while walking arm in arm. :P Saturday morn we went to the flea market and had turkey legs, so that was great! A great little preview for Disneyland in January!

Aight guys –
So as life changes and evolves it always makes me wonder, what the hell is next! I sure hope it’s a good change. Thanks for reading.
