Well, you'll be pleased to know I landed in Colorado safely yesterday afternoon! My flight went wonderfully without any delays, and my plane offered a choice of 197 movies to keep me entertained for the 10 hour flight. I didn't managed to fit them all in, but I gave it my best shot.
Margo picked me up at the airport and welcomed me with a big hug. Both Glenn and Margo here at Glen Eyrie has just been so kind and welcoming to everyone - I think it's something we've all really appreciated. :)
I was so tired last night though I went to bed at 8.30pm and woke up about 8.30am this morning. I was out for 12 hours! Although, I had been awake for 24 hours the day before and was pretty tired!
So today is a settling in day for everyone. Margo took me for a Starbucks this morning to update me on all the team leader stuff, and just have a nice chat over a good American coffee. I'm totally in my element in a Starbucks, so that was awesome. Then we went to Albertsons which is a huge supermarket... it... was.... amazing!!!! Everything is so huuuuuuge here. I went to get some soya milk and I kid you not, the smallest size carton of soya milk they has was half a gallon. Half a gallon!!!!!! I've never seen anything like it! I think I walked around the store with the widest smile on my face.
I tell you, I was born in the wrong country. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it here. I feel like i've come home. The shops are huge, the amounts are huge, the cars are huge! It's so spacious! I love it!
The Glen is beautiful. I've put some photos in the blog. We're right at the base of the Rocky Mountains I think - these huge, giant red mountains. The view is breath-taking... literally, we're so high up here that some of the GSP students are feeling really dizzy and light-headed! I can't tell if it's excitement or dizzyness on my part!
We've got an amazing summer planned and some great guest speakers - for the Navs out there - Nabeel Jabbour, Jim Peterson, Tom Yeakley and Mike Treneer amongst over 20 guest speakers!
Well, for now enjoy the photos and i'll update you all in a few days time! Ooh, one of the photos is of some little gift bags the team leaders have made up for the girls in our teams! I've got four lovely ladies in mine; Deelke and Evelyn from the Netherlands, Elise from USA and Kabukour from Ghana! Wooo!
Thanks to everyone who has been praying for me this year to make this dream come true.
God Bless,
Vicky
