Glenwood Canyon Resort and Adventure Center

Well this has been a busy weekend! On Thursday, after my last blog post, I received a phone call from Glenwood Canyon Resort asking if I would be free for an interview the next morning. Of course I was....I was desperate for a job at that point. Next thing I know, I'm being offered a job for an adventure company!
Glenwood Canyon Resort is located in No Name, CO (yes, that's a real place). It's a campground, also providing luxury cabins and suites. Along with the resort, an adventure company runs whitewater rafting, zip lines, ropes courses, biking, and horseback riding. I have been hired as a receptionist/reservationist for the adventure company. My first lesson on the job: since I will be discussing the different adventure trips with clients, I have to experience them all myself. Therefore, on Saturday, my friend Laura and I went whitewater rafting. For free. I can go whenever I want, wherever I want. My life is so hard...
The rest of the weekend was also devoted to fun time. Laura and I shopped, watched Harry Potter, and went to weekly yoga in the park. I think I'm fitting into Colorado rather well. For the next few days, I am training and working, on top of taking care of the dogs.
Speaking of the dogs, they're cuter than ever. The little female puppy, Athena, has started a new game. It seems to happen whenever I am carrying buckets of water; she comes up behind me and pushes her head against the back of my knees, squeezing her body through so that I inevitably trip with all of the water. She's too adorable for me to stay mad at her.
With puppies tripping me in the morning, whitewater rafting during the day, and more puppies playing at night, I'm staying very busy. But this just means I have all the more to show people when they come visit! (hint hint)
