You smell that? It smells like good clean fun!

Wow guys. I've really missed you. But I have some great news! This saturday I'll be attending Christian Challenge's Pre-Thanksgiving Day Feast! This whole thing was really my brain child last year (note: my brain did not actually conceive, it's just an expression). You see, the community is so great here, that I consider a lot of people to be like my extended family. So I thought, "why would I not celebrate thanksgiving with these fine folks."
With that I mind, I bought a 20 pound turkey, and embarked on the journey of a lifetime. Through many panicky phone calls, and sweaty moments, the turkey turned out just right. Tons of people came and brought their favorite thanksgiving day treat (mac n' cheese is a thanksgiving treat right?). It was so much fun and it was such a success, that Challenge decided to make it an official event this year. It's probably for the best; organization isn't really my strong suit. That's one of the reasons why I love UNC so much, because I'm involved. Welp, I better go get my stretchy pants ready, a thanksgiving feast is one thing I don't mess around with.
Later Days!

The British are coming...and by british I mean snowstorms

Man. Just when I was pulling out all my great fall attire (flannels and cardigans), we get hit with snow. I did not see this coming. Thus is the fickle lady weather that reigns over Colorado. I think we probably had 8-10 inches fall of wet heavy snow. So heavy in fact, that we had trees snapping and falling on power lines. Here's the silver lining, we got a snow day! This gave me an opportunity to catch up on being unproductive, and gave my friends a chance to make a great snow fort on Gunter Green! (Note to all snow fort connoisseurs: Never leave you snow forts unattended due to ruffians that roam around looking for fun ruining activities to partake in). I'll attach a picture of the snowy street that I took on my phone. Look at the tree that's leaning. One thing that's nice is that Greeley does an awesome job getting streets cleared after big storms, I never feel stuck anywhere.

I've recently become fond of walking to the campus music store right off of 16th street. They have so many folksy guitars there. I also have an egg shaker and a tambourine that I purchased there once. Hey that reminds me, my band will probably be playing at Open Mic Monday, just one of the great events that UPC (university program council ) puts on during the year. http://www.unco.edu/upc/ It's always a blast. Well hopefully this whets your pallet until my next blog.

Later days,
