Like sands in the hourglass, so are the days of our lives...

It has been four in a half months since my Alaskan departure and life has yet to slow down. I have realized that after high school, life goes into hyper drive. My reintroduction to the lower 48 could not have been better! Flew into Denver, only to be picked up by my best friend Lacey Massey and hubs, oh and I can not forget Titus :) Later that night, had a much needed "date night" with Lacey that can honestly be rated one of my top favorite dates...with a female anyway. After dinner and great conversation, we came back to her house only to be greeted by my other bestie and roommates, Glover and Jessie. We had such a blast together during our few days in Denver. Got to see my cousin Richie whom I hadn't seen in years and my dear friend since high school Tricia and her son Isaiah. So blessed to have all these amazing people in my life. Such a great way to end the summer. 
The roomies and I drove back to the wonderful City of Trees- the place that has my heart: Boise. I finally got to meet the new man in my life, Chester- the four year rescue Beagle that immediately stole my heart. Oh, I love that dog!! Once arriving home, I had one day to situate and get prepared before Fall semester started the next day. I had a busy semester ahead of me, with 5 classes and and a lab to complete, I had more than enough to keep me busy. It certainly was a tough semester, but I ended up walking away with 3 A's and 2 B's. I even got a trip to Vegas for a few days to visit long time friend since middle school Randy as well as my grandparents. What I was not prepared for was Bogus Basin to have a miracle fall upon it and have a Thanksgiving opening!! A busy school schedule, work, snowboarding and I do not mix well together- something always gets sacrificed! I managed to pull it off and kept my priorities in check and now I am working/riding everyday.
I am really stoked on this season, I have been working with a couple of amazing shred betty's to get the female ride community up and going. Thanks to local support from Newt and Harolds and Mttheory, we have been able to start a Girls Ride Night every Sunday. I really hope it takes off and the female shred scene becomes a real cohesive and tight knit community. Well, thought I would update the world or those who actually read this on the current inner workings of my life, ha! Stay tuned for philosophical/theological posts in the near future...some things I have been chewing on the past few months. Also, looking into going to New Zealand for a snowboard trip this summer!! Hope that comes to pass! Blessings!
