In Case anyone wonders where I am

I'll be back in a few months....

Finally Graduated!

Oh the Places You'll go....

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go.

You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have the speed.
You’ll pass the whole gang and you’ll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you’ll be the best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.

I'm sorry to say so
But, sadly it's true
That bang-ups and hang-ups
Can happen to you.

On an on you will hike, And I know you’ll hike far
and face up to your problems whatever they are.

You’ll get mixed up of course, as you already know.
You’ll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go.

So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
And remember that Life’s a great balancing act.

Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.

Will you succeed?
Yes you will indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)

I'm finally a college grad! Many of you have asked...well now what? I had an interview with Salt Lake City on Monday and now have an internship with the Sustainability Department. I'm excited to move on and hopefully start a career in the near future. If not, I'll just continue my days of sleeping in, blogging, making jewelery, playing with Bryce and whatever else makes me happy.

Honestly, two and a half years ago I never really thought I would end up graduating because I put college on hold. Its hard to go back, but its worth it, even if your professors are the most liberal Hippy people in the world:) Thanks to everyone that has supported me through this journey, especially you Bryce. I love you sweety!

Ha....we saw the weiner mobile in Zion's, I had to get my picture with it!

Spring Break

Hey all. Just a quick post about our week. Thursday we made our annual trip to Zions during Spring Break. It was a quick trip and much needed. We arrived Thursday day and checked in to our Suite around 3 PM. We had a beautiful view from our balcony(pic above is balcony view), a couple of big flat screens, walking distance to shops and the park, and a heated pool and hot tub. It was pretty nice.

We spent the first day checking out all the little shops in town. Lisa bought some beads for jewelry (which she already "misplaced"), I bought the biggest thing of beef jerky I've ever seen, and then we ate at a little place called "Blondies". It was a house were the front parlor was turned into a small diner and the family lived in the other part of the house. I ordered the Elk Burger and Lisa the Philly cheese steak and ate our meal on their front porch. Their teenage daughter acted as our waitress and the food was excellent. You always find the best food at the little Mom N Pop places.

The next day we hiked a trail called Angels Landing. It was straight up and took a couple of hours to get to the top. the views were amazing, and was well worth the effort. We packed a lunch and had a little picnic on the way. My only complaint were the group of New Age hippies behind us. I was hoping they smoked enough weed that they might try and fly their "free spririts" off one of the cliffs... but good stuff never happens to me. I know, I know, that's awful for me to say. Please send all your hatemail to idontcare@yahoo.com.

We had a blast, and have come to the conclusion that it's best to take trips during the middle of the week because when you get home you still have the weekend to recoup (we got home Friday). We've already planned a week long trip in the summer to Moab, Zions, Bryce, Grand Canyon, and Canyon Lands for the summer. All are welcome to join, but so you know we don't really have a game plan when we go on vacation, we just wing it.

Siblings: Do you guys remember buying Cactus Candy when we went to Zions as a family, or am I just crazy? I've looked for the stuff both times but could never find it.
