Well today is Megan’s last day at the Chayah House. I’m so sad to see her go, but she has trained me well this past year and I feel confident in moving forward with the ladies and my new co-worker Cara. We threw a goodbye party for Megan last night. The ladies and I wrote a song for Megan. We had a blast decorating t-shirts, developing choreography, and collecting props for the big performance! We closed the party last night with our song and it was a fun way to end the evening.

Well I just got back rom the Open Door Womens retreat held in Glenwood Springs, CO. It is about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Denver in the mountains. The Chayah House women as well as myself were very excited about this retreat due to the rough week that we had, but it ended up being a disaster too!! We were about an hour into our drive there on Friday, when it started snowing hard and visibility was getting worse and worse. We were starting to see cars slide off the road when we found out the interstate had been closed due to a wreck. We decided to get off an exit and get some dinner to avoid being stuck in traffic. Meanwhile, the weather was getting worse and the interstate wasn’t opening up. We spent another hour at a Walmart trying to decide if we should just go back home or try to make it to the retreat. Thankfully, Megan called her cousin who has a condo in the area we were in. We decided we did not want to risk the drive and we stayed in the condo for the night. We made it to Glenwood Springs the next morning and were able to relax for the day, but we soon started hearing of more bad weather for Sunday. We decided to leave first thing Sunday morning and skipped the final seminar of the retreat. Thanksfully, the weather home was perfect and we made it home safely! It wasn’t the most restful weekend, but we did have some good bonding time in the car!!
