Its been awhile

So updating in the month of February did not happen. Life was so busy with friends, work, and just general chaos. It probably was the the best and most exhausting month of my life here at Crooked Creek Ranch.


It was a month full of visitors. First week I had my friend Anna out to go skiing and she brought her friend Liz. It was a blast to see her and get to know Liz. Then the next week two of my best friends came up. Tim Barnes and David Perks. I will write a longer post on there visit as soon as Tim gets back to me with some pictures. He took them all on his camera. Then the day those to jokers left my Cousin Dan came in. So I snowboarded a good deal in the month of Feb and it was all a blast. However hosting people can be super tiring. I wouldnt have had it any other way though.

February had a group in just about every weekend and a lot of mid week groups. Some that have never rented the camp out before. Those groups can be difficult because they just don't really know how to utilize the camp yet and theres just a lot of running around to get them set up correctly. I did a good deal of picture taking and hiking this last month as well.

Snow showing in the rockies is just incredible. One the invention to disperse wait so you dont sink into 4 feet of snow. Its incredible. I have just been having to much fun running around with friends up sheep mountain to see the view of camp and the valley I get to live in.

Its definitely a blessing. Colorado. I find my self thanking Christ on a regular basis for bringing me out here. Last week all the interns went to an Avalanche Game in Denver and before we went we visited boulder CO. As we walked around the streets and just enjoyed the 60 degree weather (a 35 degree difference of Fraser only 40 miles apart across the mountains.)
I thought about that College town and how many times I wished that God had called me somewhere crazy when I was in college. Then I remember How I have been called out here this year to live somewhere crazy in a crazy situation! It was awesome.

Also the view outside our intern house just has displayed Gods glory so often. During the day or at night its been unreal. I wish that Blogspot could capture the beauty of what I have seen. I mean one day I was walking back from working out and the color of the sky was outragous. It was this beautiful read and the depth and beauty of the clouds was unimaginable. In the five minutes it took me to walk home it appear and was gone as the sun set. I couldnt believe what I saw and I know perhaps I make zero sense in this paragraph but imagine the most beautiful red and it being in 100 different shades spread across the dusk sky. And it was there for an instant and gone. Just a wink really. That was what it was like. The sky up there wasnt to shabby either.

               

I took both of these also out of our kitchen window. I wasn't sure which shot I preferred as similar as they both are. Opinions are always appreciated! Just a little haze on the mountains.

God is doing big things here at Crooked Creek and big things in our community. The men and woman that I intern with here are moving into march and we all know it is going to be our hardest month. Because the job is not getting any different and can be redundant.  Plus summer is looming and summer is going to be too much fun seeing God work in HUGE ways in the lives of Kids that will be coming here each week for 11 weeks. So It is late and I could keep rambling but I really just wanted to show some photos from the month and make a post because it has been too long. 

Here is our lil neighbor.
