My first day in Denver

 It's my FIRST DAY IN Denver! I moved my stuff out around 7:45 with the help of two girls - Fran & Kim from The Quad :) Mom and I stopped at Johnson's Corner and we ate a cinnamon roll :) I liked it a lot. :) 


We got home and then I took a nap!!! :) 

View out the Light Rail window :)

THEN I went to hang out with my friend Alex and we took the LIGHT RAIL :) :) :)  That's right! My first day in Denver, and I was out and about on the bus :) :) :) Katie missed RTD 


But Katie misses her Fort Collins peeps too :( I cried a little bit in the car - just a little few tears, but not a whole lot like sobbing because I was in the car and Mom would be worried if I suddenly started crying :( 


But I let myself feel sad when I was laying in my bed and I was hugging my squishy CSU pillow. The thing I could be tempted to do is this: Just throw myself into life in Denver: paralegal school, looking for a part-time job, being involved in the Firehouse church, and helping Mom with randomness and not thinking about Fort Collins much or letting myself feel the feelings that come with saying good bye to friends. I could tell myself: I'm involved, I am doing well, so I have said good bye to Fort Collins :) But, I know that saying goodbye takes time, and I have to let myself feel sad because that's a natural part of the grieving process. Letting God into my being sad about leaving my Fort Collins friends and being excited to see what He is going to do in Denver is the obviously most adaptive response :) 


I'm excited to go to my first paralegal class on Monday. I'm taking 2 classes: Introduction to Law and Property Law. Mom asked me today if I will be ok taking 2 classes over the summer since I've never done it before. I told her that I've taken classes, being a TA, AND worked on my thesis, so I've done multiple things all at once. Sometimes she worries a lot, but I just remember, "She does because she loves me :)" I just have to show her that I know that God has it in the bag and I have the skills to do this, and she could stop worrying as much :) 


Welp! There you have it! My first day in Denver!!!! :) 


I'M GOING TO THE FIREHOUSE CHURCH TOMORROW YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
