second week in denver.

wowww we've been so busy! the last week was really fun, but stressful too. there's SO much still left to get ready for our first show and it seems like it'll never get done. but i know it will eventually. haha.

so on friday we walked around downtown denver and learned about the history of the city. this is inside the state capital.

the top of the capital is covered in gold, and we got to go up inside there! the view was amazing. but you'd think the state capital might have some kind of air conditioning. haha. this is one of my good friends humberto from mexico! :)

so we actually got a whole weekend off! not just sunday, but saturday too! yayyyyy so on saturday we drove up to this tiny place in the mountains called buena vista for a white water rafting trip! it was veryyyy cold so we looked pretty nerdy in wet suits. haha but it was well worth wearing them! the trip was soooo great with everyone. overall a great day off. then we went home and made home made sushi for dinner. it was sooo much fun. cathrine has the pictures from that so maybe i'll be able to post those later.

then todayyyy was pretty exciting too even though i was so tired! haha. we went to this dragon boat racing/asian culture fair on a lake in denver. it was so hot outside blahhhh we ate ice cream, frozen cheesecake, snowcones, and anything else cold we could find. oh and this week our host grandma came into town. :) so she's the other person in our host family picture. overall suchhh a great weekend. but i'm ready now to get serious and help to get our show ready for august 9th!

first week in denver!

so here i am in denver finally! i can't believe i've been looking forward to this time in my life for months and months, and now i've already been here for a week.

so here's the building we sing, dance, and laugh in almost every day. right in downtown denver.

it's been stressful. i've had to learn many dances really quickly, and i'm not in the best shape either. so my muscles have been killing me.

but at the same time, it's reallyyyyy fun and exciting. i've definitely made a ton of friends so far. and it's only been a week. i can't wait to see what things are like a few months down the road.

today was our free day, and our host family drove 

us up into the mountains to a city called 
georgetown. along the way we stopped for pictures. this is my room mate cathrine! she's from denmark and we've definitelyyyy been having a great time so far. :)

                                             

so here's our host family! they live in aurora,      colorado. terri and nate decker. they drove us uppp until we got to the top of this mountain. it was gorgeous! anyways, our host family makes the bestttt dinners. so delicious. they're taking us to a baseball game on tuesday, too. so that'll be fun. especially since cathrine's never seen baseball! anyways, i'll try to write in here as much as i can! i miss everyone back at home and can't wait to see you all again. :)
