SNOW??!!

It is dumping here in Silverthrone, CO (my sister's house) and it is taking a little getting used to. I was just settling into my flip flops and shorts on the canyon and now I am going skiing!!! I guess that is how spring usually is, I cant complain.
Well John and I drove the stuff we need for the summer down to Moab and moved into the single wide trailer CFI rented for us. It is in a really nice spot with a view of the La Sals and a small creek in the front. I (elie) spent 2 nights there and packed up my stuff to drive to Colorado in a big snow storm. I figured I would spend some time with my family before I leave for 3 months to Central America.
Yes, the time has finally come for me to do the nursing volunteer work I have been wanting to do. I will be working on a retired naval ship that was turned into a floating hospital, there are 4 ICU beds so I will be doing the work I have been doing!!! The mission is divided into 4 rotations but since my schedule allowed it I will be doing all of them. The company is called Project HOPE. So, my bags are packed and I fly to Miami on Sunday to board the ship!!! Oh boy, I really dont know much about the trip so it will be truely exciting. Until Sunday I am going to get out and enjoy some of this COLD, fluffy white stuff!!!
