this weekend i managed to see friends from all of my "worlds." friday night we went to a sam bush concert in steamboat and were joined my nick, john, dana, and courtney... i worked with john & nick at vista verde back in the day, and nick now works for steamboat ski patrol while john is back at vista verde for another winter. dana & court went to vassar with me... we were not particularly close but did have a class together during my last semester. they found out about vista through me and are now in their 2nd and 3rd seasons up there! they are both awesome and when i did finally befriend them during my final semester, i wished i had known them better throughout college... so this has been a fantastic twist of fate.
on sunday i welcomed a new neighbor to town. alysha, who i have known through aloha for many years, has taken a ranger position at steamboat lake state park. she'll be around for only a few months unfortunately, as the job is only winter seasonal, but its fabulous to have a dear friend in the area!
on monday i met up with kate in silverthorne for a little shopping & catchup &vermontpelier loving. kate has been in my life since preschool and has been a fabulous friend all along. we are the last two of what was once a five-person crowd of my high school friends living in colorado. we try to connect every couple months at least.
so, while three of those four worlds (aloha, vassar, montpelier) are thousands of miles away, i am blessed to have a few transplanted friends to laugh & dance & hug here in colorado.
