New Staff Training- YL Staff know how to have fun!





I spent two weeks in Colorado at Young Life's Frontier Ranch. It is a beautiful property but it was so freezing! We studied hard- I took two Master's classes from Fuller professors and learned a tremendous amount.  Something that Young Life staff know how to do well is have fun!! So we worked hard and played hard! Here are some of the playful pics! I made some great friends from across the country and world too!

Colorado, Breckenridge, 2 Best friends!




Becca and I headed off to Breckenridge, Colorado (I was on my way to New Staff Training for Young Life) but before the two week intensive began we had to play! And play we did! Greg would have loved to come but he wasn't able to. He and his brother Joe spent some time in Breckenridge a few years ago! It was an absolutely beautiful trip!

Rose will you be our Flower Girl?




I flew out to Denver and spent some time with my cousins Melissa and Steve and their daughter Rose. Rose has this favorite flower shop near her house. At this flower shop she apparently has this little routine. She'll walk to the back of the shop and into the refrigerated room where she'll lift up her shirt to the let the cold air get on her tummy then she dances around and smiles. So precious.

       So I went by the flower boutique and had them make a beautiful bouquet of roses with ribbon hanging off like a princess bouquet. I had it placed in the refrigerated room with a note on it asking Rose to be my flower girl. So... just like clockwork Rose took me on a little tour of her favorite flower shop and she went straight to the back refrigerated room where she soon spoted her bouquet! She was precious! After we went home and looked at her mom's wedding dress and Rose proceeded to dress me up as a bride and herself as a flower girl. I loved my time in Denver with her!
