Week 1

I have to say that this past week has been one of the craziest weeks I've experienced, even more crazy than my first week at Taylor. We had our welcome dinner last Tuesday night. On Wednesday and Thursday we had "orientation" of sorts...although I can honestly say I'm not really sure what I got oriented on...except for general stuff....which is orientation I guess. Friday-Sunday we were up at Horn Creek for a retreat. At FLI we are split into "Life Groups" and are with these groups throughout the semester. I really like my group. Honestly. We're all so different yet work so well together! In our life groups we did team building exercises such as: putting everyone through a spider web, musical chairs, and this weird lava block game. Fantastic bonding. :)

Yesterday and today we had leadership intensive discussions and activities. I think the hardest one for me was the one of affirmation. We had a partner and picked words that we could use to affirm them...and seriously I don't handle compliments well so it was really hard for me to sit and listen to what Joy had to say. The past couple days have been really stretching-giving us puzzle pieces for the semester.

My roommates are legit. That's all I have to say. That girl. :)

COLORADO!

I cannot believe that I am finally here. I'm living in CO for the semester and I am beyond excited. God keeps letting funds show up, which is amazing. Today I moved into my new apartment. :) The girls are awesome and we're all really similar which is great! All night owls, sarcastic, and all that jazz. Super enjoyable.

It's been an interesting couple of weeks leading up to this point, but I'm very thankful for them. I've felt super encouraged lately.

More to blog later...I need to finish unpacking!
