Where I've Been [...people can stop asking now....]

It has been very kindly brought to my attention that I sorta wander from place to place, and no one really knows for sure where my feet are resting, from time to time...{the fact that my very own siblings were unaware of where I was for the last year....(inserts concerned face)}..

I lay here, attempting to type this on my phone, since my faithful laptop as proved to be just the opposite and I feel there is a great need for people to realize I did not go rogue and join a pirate ship or something along those lines... AND the fact that this year is half over and I have not typed squat..the sad truth of a busy Ellie.

[A picture of yours truly, that truly captured the pure joy these last few months have been..]

SO. Shall we begin.

A quick recap of this last year (not sure as if I can even remember back that far)...

Endish of May, 2016- I briskly arrived in Iowa from being In Indiana at EBI, for just enough time to roadtrip to Florida for my Brothers wedding

Beginning of June 2016- I very very briskly arrived in Iowa once again aftet my Brothers wedding, for just a spare second before my Sisters wedding on Saturday, in which I packed that evening in a boiling hot, no AC room and left for Oregon the following day..

June-August 2016- I lived life well in Oregon, clogging combine headers and occasionally push starting my [bosses] VW bug [Pocahontas]{other wise known as Pokey...and for good reason}

August 2016- I hopped on an International flight outta Portland with a bunch of people id never met before and flew into Montego Bay, Jamacia, of which I helped with a Youth Rally for the next (I dont know how many) days..

Sept 2016-After receiving a nice tan, and new outlook on life in Jamacia, I returned to the states for but a mere few days, in which I washed and rewashed all my sweat infested clothes and packed up, flying into Denver, Colorado..

Sept-2016-May 2017- My plane landed in CO as I anticipated my next adventure... among knowing only a handful [two?] People in Colorado when arriving, I had a faithful friend drive me many hours away, to a house over 8,500 feet in elevation that would be my home for the next nine months. 

I began teaching in a small, private school, close to a week later.... quickly, I adopted a borrowed, charater filled Ford Explorer, Horatio, who would become my honest companion on snowy, late blizzerdy nights stuck in ditches, my daily drive diwn the boulder filled roads to my tiny, quaint schoolhouse, long drives down below {Canon City} or even just Tuesday evening Basketball down at the homely court on mainstreet..

I also found time to travel back home to Oregon over Christmas break, and swing by Elnora Indiana for a spikeball tourny and catching up of old friends..always returning back to dear old Westcliffe, Colorado.

May-Current 2017- my aching bones sit in lovely Oregon as we speak, I lay in my comfy-mumfy bed, listening to the animal that is "stealthly" sneaking around on the roof, feeling the cool spring breeze race in throught my open windows and thinking of the fact that I left my glasses laying in the gym earlier this evening and completely forgot to grab them before I left, now my head aches from not wearing them, and im to lazy to slide contacts in, for I know its past my bedtime and I could doze off at any given moment... oh the bliss of being back to a day to day life of odd farm jobs and running nose allergies. 

So, dear friends [and all family members who were unaware] I am back out to the land I love, working hard and partying even harder.

Your prayers would be grandly appreciated as I consider and decide where to go next and what the next step is for my life... Adios.
