I have been working at Aspen Grove for about a month now. The first week was really rough as I adjusted, but I am really enjoying it up here. There are about 80 employee's, all young university students. We have a strange combination of work, housing, and church. They feed and house us for free, but we get a candy bar if we pass cleaning inspection today. We are part of a branch that has about 400 visitors every week. Your co-workers are your roommates, your friends, and your church leaders as well. My job is with the Rompers, kids between 0 and 2 years old. I really love working with them. That doesn't mean it is always easy, but they are cute and they don't mind that I prefer to be calm. You have to have a lot of energy to work with the other age groups. It is also very beautiful up here in the mountains. I love walking out my cabin door in the morning and seeing the sun pour over the mountain.
My roommate, Kylie, snapped a photo of me leading the music in Relief Society.
She also managed to get one while we were doing scripture study…I am apparently oblivious to her shutterbug tendencies.
My dear roommate Mandy got married to our friend Derek in the Salt Lake Temple in May. I was honored to be one of her bridesmaids. I am going to miss her, but we had lots of wonderful adventures together and now she has many new ones ahead of her.
This is what we call "the Ohana." We are missing one, but we have had a great year and I count myself very lucky in my friends.
