Thanksgiving Trip

Isaiah&nbsp;finished&nbsp;his&nbsp;Missouri&nbsp;internship&nbsp;and&nbsp;officially&nbsp;graduated&nbsp;from&nbsp;CSU&nbsp;with&nbsp;a&nbsp;degree&nbsp;in&nbsp;Natural&nbsp;Resource&nbsp;Tourism&nbsp;in&nbsp;December.&nbsp;Then,&nbsp;he&nbsp;moved&nbsp;back&nbsp;to&nbsp;Colorado&nbsp;to&nbsp;make&nbsp;dating&nbsp;a&nbsp;bit&nbsp;easier,&nbsp;and&nbsp;to&nbsp;look&nbsp;for&nbsp;jobs&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;tourism&nbsp;and/or&nbsp;nature&nbsp;marketing&nbsp;field,&nbsp;there.

Isaiah's Graduation - Dec 2024
