My love for the outdoors

I might be one of the more unlikely people to decided they want to minor in outdoor leadership. I'm girly, I'm not so athletic, I just have the average amount of experince outdoors. but........

I grew up spending some of my summer at my grandparents house in upstate New York. Going there was better than getting to go to Disney world. It was where I got to do all the things I loved the most. As a kindergartner I was extremely girly, so girly in fact, that I refused to wear pants and actually cried once when I had to wear them. But I didn't mind them as much if it meant I got to go on a hike in the woods. The woods where everything came to life, where everything was filled with adventure. Where everything was all mossy and wet and you could look for orange salmanders and see great beautiful waterfalls. And feel the cold mountain water on your feet.

When we were in the lovely adirondacks, we didn't always go to church on sunday, I don't quite remember why, but I remember the substitute. My family would hike in the woods for awhile and then we would stop and have sunday school in the woods, my dad as the teacher. These were some of my favorite times, and to be honest it's where I remember learning who God was. It's because of these times that I feel closer to God outside than anywhere else in the world

So I might not be someone who strives to climb mount everest. But I am a person who longs to be outside. I love the community, the friendship, the sence of adventure that forms when you are outside. So yes my minor might be a strange choice for someone like me, but I love it :).

Yes It's late very late but that's because of an invasion of brown recluse spiders in my room ( okay it was like 4 in 7 days but still scary especially because two hours ago I found one on my bed) I am not sleeping in there and sleeping on the couch. For future reference never put a cedar roof on your house, it attracts them. Silly neighborhood and their former covenats.

Also in the animal department I have a story to tell. I was in my room yesterday doing some cleaning when I saw something move outside my window. Now I know this usally doesn't sound like a big deal but my window is in a well and faces a cement wall. Well I went over to the window and what did I see but a cute little nose, some sweet brown eyes and two long ears. Yes a baby rabbit had fallen into my well. Well after some quick thinking some internet research and many tries, my gloved hands rescued the bunny and sent it back into the yard so it could be with it's family. But it did add a little adventure to my day :).
( what it pretty much looked like, so cute)


I have recently found out who my roomies are for next year and I must say for one thing it has in it's creative way confirmed that I'm supposed to be at ccu, and it's made me quite excited. :)
