Colorado 2012

This was my third year going to Colorado for work.  Instead of 4-5 days, I was there for 28 days.  I started off in Copper Mountain where the World Cup Speed Team was training, Nov. 1-18.  These days were crucial to my job.  Not only did I hand out uniforms to all of the athletes and staff, but I was able to get to know everyone on a personal and professional level.  This trip really made me understand my new job better than I ever could by just staying in the office.

After Copper Mountain, I moved over to Frisco for a few days where I stayed with Gwynn.  She was so nice to let me stay with her for free and save on my budget.

On Thanksgiving day, I drove over to Aspen for the Aspen Winternational World Cup.  This was my first time working a World Cup and it was a blast!

Even though it was a very long trip and a very long time to be away from home and my Babsy, it was a great trip.  I worked hard and I played hard!  This is the perfect job for me!
