Hello Friends and Family!
Happy almost end of February. There is so much going on here in Denver and just getting busier by the day!
Today is the last day to buy raffle tickets for the first early bird drawing for the Dream House Raffle I am working on for my internship. I have been busy with the raffle and comparing names, calling people who can’t read their credit card numbers, calling people again, emailing people who leave comments on the survey I am moderating, writing thank you letters to people who buy 4 or more tickets, and still doing some miscellaneous work for the YOY Gala. I spent some time this week, about 4 hours, hanging out at the Dream House we are raffling off following reporters around and making sure they didn’t go where they weren’t supposed to and answering any questions that they had. It was a beautiful Wednesday and a good day for filming! Thursday, I got a text message from my supervisor right as I was leaving for work saying that the power was out and all the servers were still down so I couldn’t go in to work until noon. When I finally got in, I did some more raffle work as we had sold about 3,000 tickets in two days. We are up and over 10,000 tickets with our final goal being about 20,000. We will see how we continue to do!
Other than working, I have been consumed in writing papers for classes and enjoy the wonderful things that Denver has to offer. Last weekend a few of us went up to a restaurant in North Glenn called Cinzzettis, which is this exquisite Italian Feast. Also last weekend, I spent some time at Washington Park playing basketball because it was so nice out. Sunday night Nicole and I went to Colorado Springs to the Rock and Worship Road Tour, a big Christian Rock Concert with 7 bands for only 10 dollars. It was an awesome night to praise God and hang out with about 9,000 crazy people. I have always wanted to go to a big concert like this and could not pass up this opportunity. Some of my favorite bands were playing and it was a chance to hang out with Nicole and worship God. Good night all around.
Monday morning for the religion class, we went to Faith Advocacy Day downtown and then I headed out with Matt and Sarah to the Botanical Gardens for their free day. There was not much to see as it was Winter, but the inside exhibits were pretty cool and the flowers were super cool! After that, I headed to Urgent Care because I have been sick for a while and found out I had an acute upper respiratory infection and bronchitis. I was able to get some sleeping meds, antibiotics, and steroids and am finally feeling better.
This weekend starts Wartburg’s break so it should be a pretty low key weekend. Not sure what all it will hold yet, but hopefully some exciting times are in store for me this weekend!
