The months after Wyoming.

I have been home in Smithfield since the end of September. Now I am living with my parents. I have been living back with my parents for three months and that is the longest I have lived with my parents since I moved out in January 2008. It has been ok living with my parents. It certainly is a new adventure that I may not necessarily like right now but it is still an adventure that is going on in my life. I was planning on going back to Wyoming for the winter to work at Flagg Ranch but that fell through. So that means I am here in Utah (Smithfield) trying to find a job here and trying to figure out what I am suppose to do with my future. I am thinking about going into Culinary Arts at Bridgerland Applied Technology College in Logan. Or maybe being a Vet Assistant/Tech. Oh the decisions I have to make. All leading me down a different road and adventure. I have had several interviews but none of them had panned out. I had an interview yesterday at the Specialty Hospital Deli. I am really hoping that I get this job but if not then I will have to figure something else out. My life is on its own adventure right now and I just don't know exactly where it is taking me. All of the other adventures I have been on in my life I have known where those adventures have taken me. Where this adventure is taking me, I have no clue. But when it ends I hope that it turns out for the better and I have learned what I am suppose to learn.

Yellowstone

There is an inside joke between me, Megan, and Becca where we ask eachother how our butts look like and so we thought it would be funny if we did that by the Yellowstone sign. It was a good start to our adventure of Yellowstone.



Our first stop was at Old Faithful Geyser. We arrived just in time too. We arrived about 20 minutes before the geyser errupted. I was behind Megan and Becca watching it go off and I thought that this was an oppurtune time to take this picture.








We were flying at Old Faithful!!!















It was a fun day for us to go to Yellowstone. The day ended up being beautiful... Not a cloud in sight. It was definitely an adventure of learning, other sides of people, and about Yellowstone. We are going back again when there isn't as much snow so then we could explore Yellowstone much more.

My adventure so far....


Becca did so much better than I did.

It is a little chilly standing on a frozen lake at the end of May.



Getting as close as she dared to the edge after almost falling in



Getting a little bit closer... and almost falling in



Slowly inching to the edge... What will happen?!?!?

Colter Bay Village

I have been here at Colter Bay since Sunday afternoon. I was one of the few people who checked into the dorms that day. Since then people are slowly trinkling in. My friend Rebecca from last year arrived on monday. It was nice to actually have a friend here at the beginning of the season who I know that I can have a lot of fun with, especially when it comes to stocking the grocery store. The weather has been good. Most of the days it has been blue skys and partly cloudy but it is still cold here. It is the middle of May and in Wyoming there is still snow. Here at the dorms in some areas the snow is several feeet tall but in other areas just a few inches. The lake is frozen but is starting to melt slowly. I feel like this year here working at Colter Bay will be a good season. When I got here on sunday I didn't feel regret like I did when I arrived last season. Last season was fun but sometimes there was a feeling of regret. I don't feel that this year. I love Wyoming, and Colter Bay. If I could and really wanted to I would keep coming back and working here every summer. I get a peaceful feeling whenever I am here. My well of water had drained out really fast during the winter and now that I am here, I will be able to fill my well to overflowing(my mom would understand that). I am on my new adventure for the next four months and I am ready for it.

The Tulip Festival


















Yesterday I was in American Fork visiting my sister and her family, and my parents and Elena were there as well. Not very far away at Thanksgiving Point they were having The Tulip Festival. We had decided that we would go to The Tulip Festival. It was absolutely beautiful. I am glad that I was able to go to Thanksgiving Point with mom, dad, and Elena. I didn't realize that Thanksgiving Point had so much land to have gardens like they did. When we got there, we thought that we should have brought Matayia and Kaitlin because they would have loved seeing the tulips, feeding the fish, and maybe even the Secret Garden as well. There were several different colors, and variety of tulips. Absolutely wonderful. More pictures to come.
