Hogle Zoo Adventure

A few months ago I had told my friend Jamie that I wanted to go to Hogle Zoo. It had been several years since I had been to the Hogle Zoo. Jamie and I had decided that we would spend the night in Salt Lake City and then go to Hogle Zoo the next day. It was a last get together before I head up to Wyoming. To be honest I am not planning on ever moving back down to Ephraim ever again. I might come and visit Tracie and Travis but that would be the only times I would be in Ephraim. But back to the adventure of Hogle Zoo. So Jamie and I had left on Tuesday and we did some shopping at some DIs and thrift stores. The hotel that we stayed at was in Sugar House. It was pretty. There was a river running behind it and there were two ducks by the hotel room. We were able to go to the movie theater and watch Soul Surfer which was so good. Parts of it made me cry. The next day we finally made up to Hogle Zoo but it had taken us awhile to get there because we got lost at the U of U campus because we made a wrong turn or the directions we got were a little misleading. Spending a few hours at Hogle Zoo was a lot of fun. There were a lot of elementary school age kids there on a field trip and it was fun watching them and hearing the conversations they were having. It was fun seeing the animals and taking pictures. There were elephants, rhinos, tigers, a leopard, and monkeys, plus many other animals as well. The one giraffe that was out was 14 ft tall and I didn't get to see the blue tongue. But I did get to see 2 wolves playing with eachother.

No man can walk out of his own story.

A week ago I went and saw the movie Rango. There was a line in the movie that was said that made me really think. It is "No man can walk out of his own story." That line has gotten me really thinking. We are all living a story and we can determine how that story turns out. Not once can we walk out of that story. Every choice that we make or have made helps determine where the story goes. Each person helps play a part in your story while they are leading their story. If you don't like how the story is going, you can't walk out of it. You need to see how the story ends and figure out how to see the story ends. That is the adventure of life and the story. It is the anticipation of what it will turn out to be like.

Angels and Airwaves - The Adventure

Here I am, My life is waiting to begin

Here I am in Ephraim Utah. To me my life is waiting for a new adventure. It is like my life is waiting to begin. In the future I will probably realize that what I have been doing the last couple of months and the next few months has been an adventure. But right now here I am, waiting for my life to begin. Life is an adventure in itself. My adventure right now is rather boring. I had always thought an adventure is suppose to be fun and exciting and that I need to be traveling or something spectacular. Here I am, waiting for my life to begin. It will begin eventually or it has already begun and I just hasn't realized it yet. Right now I am living in Ephraim Utah. I am working with two people who have disabilities. It is an adventure every time I work with them but when I am not at work my life sure doesn't seem like it is an adventure. I do know that when I am up in Wyoming when I am working and when I am not at work my life will be an adventure. Here I am, waiting for my life to begin.

The adventure that I want to do in my future.

There are so many places to go see and would be a good adventure. I have traveled to Russia and to several countries in Europe. Since I have gone to Russia in 2004 I have always wanted to do some more traveling. I want to experience what it is like to live in a new place. I want to keep traveling. I want a new adventure. Some of the new adventures that I want to do before I die or get married: 1: Volunteer in Romania. 2: Go backpacking across Europe. 3: Go to Ireland and Scotland 4: Go on a cruise to anywhere (maybe to Greece). 5: Do a cross country trip and visit all 50 states. 6: Disappear for a few weeks and truly find myself. 7: Visit Venice Italy again. 8: Go to Africa. 9: Visit Jerusalem and the places where Jesus walked. 10: Live my life to the fullest.

These are just a few things I would like to do. I think that they would be good and fun adventures. They are something worth while and maybe I would be able to really find myself on those adventures. I don't know if I would ever do anything on this list but they are something I would like to do and they would be a good adventure. I don't want to regret anything in my life. I want to live my life to the fullest and to have as many adventures as possible. I am sure in the future the list I just gave will change as my life changes. That is the thing... whatever I decide to do a new adventure will show up.

Where I am At

I have lived 24 years. My life has had many adventures. All of them have led me to where I am at now. I have made some choices that I shouldn't have made but then I really don't regret doing them. Eventually I will be able to tell my parents what those choices were and hopefully they won't be extremely mad with me. Other decisions that I have made have led me to Russia, Europe, and Jackson Wyoming. Right now I am living in Ephraim Utah, working with people with disabilities. Ever since high school I have always wanted to work with people with disabilities. I am on my own, four hours away from my parents and working a full time job with two people who I really care about. The closest relatives that live closest to me is two hours away in American Fork. I am finally able to find out what it is like to live on my own. Living on my own is a new adventure.
