Break

How was everyone's break?? Sorry for the long absence.
I went out to visit my good friend Johnny K. with my cousin Ryan the 27th of December...

Then came back the on the 29th, picked up my new camera in Morton at the FedEx depot and headed to the home of Tim B. (where I previously was bucked off a horse) for his birthday celebration and a place to sleep for an hour. Upon awaking at 2:18 I had to head to Goodfield to meet the bus for Jamaica. There's an interesting story of keys not being where they needed to be at 2:45, but for sake of space, let's just say I got there. I then went to Montego Bay CCCD with a Peoria/Leo based group. Fantastic trip. Incredibly hard working and loving work team, I was impressed. loved the Jamaican culture as always. Incredible country, they just need their men to step up and start caring, the country is incredible. CCCD is a great organization. We met the president, he has a very Godly vision for the place.




I returned home from Jamaica at 4am, stopped by David Thymes place and did a few loads of laundry, got an hour of sleep or so and left at 7:45am to meet our group and head to CO. We arrived in Keystone on time. I semi blew over right across from us. I boarded at Keystone, Breck, and Copper (3 of 5 days) and visited Craig Hospital in Denver that Friday after no major injuries on the slopes! That was great. I'm actually sleeping better, yet I think I bruised some part of my back, any impact, even a cough hurts. I can't run or jump for the time being... The legs feel good though, so I don't know what to think, some things improved some deproved, but hopefully all gets better soon. Wouldn't trade the slope time for a second though, great trip! At Craig, I talked to a few patients and said hello to everyone. I rode a Greyhound bus there and had a layover... isn't that crazy! Layovers on bus rides...Then I got home stayed with my wonderful family and my cabin mates and started up the 22 hour semester. Superb!
