Fall 2012

This fall I was lucky enough to get an internship at Aspen Grove, just up Provo Canyon here in Utah. When I say lucky..I mean I was really lucky. Found it a day before the deadline, booyah! Here's the perks of the trade, I get to live at the base of Mt. Timpanogas and walk outside my front door everyday with mountains surrounding me...dreams coming true. PLUS, I live in a cabin with a few other staff members, AND they feed us so much during the week that I really haven't bought groceries in the last 2 months. Now, granted it wasn't the internship that I thought it would be (scrubbing toilets and cleaning up after people wasn't really what I went to school for, but ya know it works out)..this is ok though, because I have had some fun experiences while living up here that have kept me sane. Safe to say, I definitely work with a unique bunch of people, and some more then others test my patience every once in awhile. But at the same time, they have made me more patient, so to say the least if there is anything I get out of this..it's patience. Ya with me? The managers I work with are awesome, couldn't of asked for better one's, and really in the end I am grateful for this internship that I do have. Blessed actually. The other positive side, I get to be close to family (Trent and Kasey, and Aidynn)..which in the end makes up for every toilet I have to scrub. My favorite story thus far from Aspen Grove goes like this in a nutshell..I was on standby all night..3am..call from two ladies..telling me patty is missing..I go out to look for her..two ladies are still freaking out thinking patty got kidnapped..turns out patty was asleep in her room. Go figure at 3am someone would be sleeping in their bed. It was the talk of the camp at breakfast that morning, needless to say...I saved the day. Rather night. Thanks Patty for being asleep in your bed and not eaten by a bear. Well played.
