This weekend we went to a little cabin in the Merced grove of giant sequoia trees for our staff training retreat! I work with some really awesome people. The whole interpretation department went together which is our bosses Emily, Meghan, and Andrew, and all the staff Corey, Jenna, Veronica, and I. It was crazy because the weather was COLD and snowy/rainy when we got there Friday. We kept the wood stove burning the whole time and I got to chop a lot of wood which was super fun. The cabin we stayed in was restored- it was originally the cabin that was the first entrance to Yosemite way back in early 1900's. We played a lot of games and got to know each other a lot better. Everyone is full of energy and a lot of fun to hang out with. We had some great conversations about deeper stuff, everyone was really open to sharing about their lives.
When we woke up Saturday morning, the sun was shining and it warmed up to seventy degrees yesterday!
Last night I went bouldering (finally!) with the guy I work with corey and his friends chris and zach who are both from Tennessee, and zach just moved out here from asheville so we had a lot to talk about. A big group of us hiked up to this place called the couch, which is a big rock outcrop above tree-line that you can see the valley and all the stars! It was awesome! we watched the moon rise then walked over to Yosemite falls to see the moonbow, which very rarely happens. It is when the full moon hits the lower Yosemite Falls mist and causes a faint rainbow across the falls.
Today is my day off! Brock is coming to the valley and we are hopefully going to get on a wall and go climbing today. Its super crazy this weekend because there are a million tourists here for memorial day. Its kind of insane the amount of people.
Megan, brock's best friend's girlfriend, who i randomly met here is looking for a roommate, so i'm still praying about whether I am where I need to be living. She lives in a quieter place over near curry village, so it would be really cool. Please pray for me on that...
I will update with pictures soon!
