Chocolate MIlk

So...I have decided to create a blog for this summer. I started work at Aspen Grove on Monday,and it seemed like something I need to write about so I wont' forget the experience..and I thought I would share it with everyone :). It is amazing up here. I literally open the door of our dorm and the mountains are right there, covered in pine trees. Nothing like provo. On Monday I woke up to six inches of snow. That was crazy, but the mountains looked beautiful. It felt like winter. So far we have been doing training and just getting to know everyone. The dorm is so much fun. It's called Snowshoe Lodge, and there's a lobby between the girls and boys rooms, where everyone just comes and crashes. I'm not a fan of the community bathrooms...but hopefully that will change. Also, the walls don't go up to the ceiling between eath room, and there are four girls in each room. You can seriously hear everything. In the morning, you hear seven or eight alarm clocks going off, and it's impossible to sleep in. Which I thought would never be a problem for me. So far I haven't gotten up later than 7:20. Pretty crazy. We're in the middle of racket ball courts, tennis courts, a basketball court, and cabins. There's also this Cowboy Village which is the so cool. It's a little mini town, with a place where you can pan for gold, and a barber shopt, a bank, a jail, and all of these other houses. Basically a little kid's dream world. It's been fun watching the trees change color. When I first got here all of the trees were dead, and each day more of the trees have turned greener. It's really exciting. Everyone here is really nice and friendly, and it's really fun working with everyone. For training today, we watched a movie about how to pick up things correctly without hurting your back...so random. On Monday, we went through 7-8 hours of CPR and First Aid training. That was a looooooon day. Tomorrow the the families start coming!! We cleaned out the lodges today to get them ready for the families. The biggest life changing experience I have had so far is my discovered love of chocolate milk. I used to hate it, and I was definitely not a fan at all. Then I randomly decided to try the chocolate milk at Aspen because for some odd reason I felt like it. And it was amazing!!!! I'm starting to get addicted. They ran out of it at dinner..and it was pretty depressing. Anyway that's it for now! So far I love it, and can't wait for the rest of it :)
