the wild west.

Wow! So it's been quite awhile since I last posted. Go figure...I become inconsistent with this thing already! :) So I would say today is the first official day that I'm set on moving to Colorado! My heart has most definitely been set on it for quite awhile but my placement was accepted today. Speaking of my placement, I'm so incredibly excited about it! I have been accepted as an intern (volunteer) at Energy Outreach Colorado, or EOC. I will be helping educate other non profit organizations and residents in the Denver area about ways to become more energy efficient in attempts to reduce costs of energy. Along with this task I am going to get to analyze this cost savings while applying some of my weather knowledge :)

I know this experience will begin to open up completely new doors for me. I was just telling a friend today that things have sort of fallen into place so easily that it's almost as if it's just meant to be. When I originally applied to be apart of Urban Servant Corps a couple of months ago, I was applying with the thought of working with women and children in a lower income part of Denver. Now this opportunity alone really excited me. This is a whole new world that I have little experience with. But another door was opened for me. During my interview with Urban Servant Corps, Enery Outreach Colorado was breifly mentioned. This year was their first year with a volunteer and it's a fairly new 'internship'. As I have proceeded in the steps to become apart of USC for 2010-2011 year, I was also accepted to be apart of Energy Outreach Colorado!

Anyways, so today I'm officially placed. My paperwork comes this week and coincidentally enough Man vs. Food is playing on the travel channel and is an episode all about food in Denver, Colorado. mmmmm :)

As of August, I will venture out west to start a completely new chapter of my life. Six months ago I never would have been able to tell you this is what lies ahead for me.
