After College...May 2008

After graduating from Texas State University in May of 2008, I moved to Granby, Colorado. From May-August of 2008, I was a summer intern for the National Sports Center for the Disabled. My job was to lead clients with disabilities into the wilderness through biking, camping, climbing and rafting.

I was blessed to meet three new people that summer (Cy from Maine, Courtney from Colorado and Amanda from Iowa) and was able to live with them in the mountains. Though we worked together in stressful events, time after work was filled with nightly fires, cooking, and drinking. What fun that was!

Several times, maybe eight, Melissa came to visit me in Colorado. Her job allowed her to be gone and see different parts of the country. Kelly was fortunate to come after a hurricane cancled school. I think they had a good time.

In early October or maybe late September 2008, I moved to Golden, Colorado. Angela, a mutual friend through Melissa, was doing an internship for the Colorado School of Mines. She was awesome enough to let me stay on her couch for over half a year. Wow! During that time, I worked at REI in Boulder, CO and for the City of Boulder, igniting the start of a career in aquatics.

Below are some of the pictures of my time in Colorado. I'll be back soon...for good.
