Fall Fill-In

Happy November everyone! 

I apologize for being MIA lately, but life has been keeping me on my toes! I really have nothing major to report, but I'll fill you in on some of the smaller things that have been happening.

The past month has been filled with it's fair share of ups and downs, but I'm not letting the 'downs' get to me; life is far too wonderful to focus on the bad. Everyday life has kept me busy with work, school work, and the gym. My free time has been filled with time spent with friends (new and old), my cousin Jake, some fun events like the second portion of the Citizen's Fire Academy, Halloween, and more! 

Citizen's Fire Academy

The second half of the Boulder Rural Citizen's Fire Academy was really fun! It was more of a hands-on experience that included learning about and using a fire extinguisher, touring and exploring a fire truck, participating in a vehicle extraction (basically just cutting up a car with lots of different tools), playing out a "search and rescue" scenario, and putting out a car fire with the giant hose! Overall, it was a fun, educational experience!

A friend of mine invited me to attend Red Rock's Church in Golden, CO, and I really enjoyed it! They have a live band perform at the 9:00am service which provides a really fun, upbeat atmosphere, and the messages are really relatable and engaging. Overall a really fun, unique church.

I didn't do anything too crazy for Halloween this year. I had the day off from work, so I followed my usual routine, worked on some homework, got coffee with a friend, and then watched the movie "Casper" before heading to bed. 

This coming weekend is my friend Amanda's birthday, so I will be attending some of her birthday festivities on Sunday which include sushi for dinner and bowling afterwards! Other than the party events, I plan on working on homework (shocker), hitting the gym (another shocker), and running some errands. 

Well, this has actually been a very short update for once! From here on out I'm going to do my best to post more often as any noteworthy events occur in my life.  I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween and are now settling in to the new month of November!
