Finally an update! Aspen, weeks 6 & 7

Okay, so I’ve been terrible the last few weeks about keeping you updated. Please forgive me.

Aspen Sports Medicine: Life in the clinic has been grrrrrreat! I’m finally beginning to independently get my own patients, and legitimately think like a therapist. Hopefully, lol. My favorite patient is an 11 year old ski racer who tore both ACLs….ouch. He is absolutely adorable, and a really fun kid to treat. We have many other exciting patients, some famous athletes, etc….Aspen definitely protrays a different world. There was also the opportunity to spend time with a renowned spine surgeon, and he is really a great teacher. The experience also reassured me that our spine class was extensive and we are prepared.

Other adventures: Went to Denver for a cheerleading competition of a girl I’ve babysat. Oh wow, it brought back a plethora of memories! While there, had the chance to meet up with Joy, Yvette, and Courtney who are doing rotations in the New Mexico/Denver area. Seeing familiar faces made my heart smile! The following weekend went out with the co-workers to celebrate my birthday, G getting into PT school, and Valentine’s day. We had a blast enjoying fancy Italian food, delicious wine, a great “Jack Johnson-ish” concert, dancing, chatting, etc. Loved it!

God: Have learned more about God than imaginable these past two weeks. Honestly. This is the first time my life really has ‘margin’ where the schedule hasn’t been consistently overlapping. The opportunities of learning are abundant in the middle of God’s creation with free time. Read a TON, prayed, journaled, etc. all apart from the busyness of life. It forces one to consider and ponder the things that activities and plans kept from the mind. This is a season in my life that I will cherish forever! There have also been a multitude of “God Winks” (I recently stole this term). Feel free to ask about them.
