Utah Livin'

Kayla and my mom came to visit last weekend

She and I may be related after all.

My sister (after death threats) finally gave back my camera from somewhere deep in the South and here are some very important things I shot:

Caramel got stuck in all of our teeth. Regret nothing.

For reasons unknown, my cousin trusted me to watch her child for a few hours

I ate all of his fries.

Also turned 21 last month

People are taking me seriously now and I don't know how I feel about it.

Big Cottonwood Canyon

Wasatch Mountain Range, Utah

Yellowstone National Park

If you're ever considering dropping everything and going on an adventure..

I'd suggest Yellowstone.

Found free animal skull souvenirs while hiking the backcountry (trying it on probably wasn't the most sanitary thing to do, but I'm alive and well).

Also ate pb & j sammies and oranges on mountain peaks.

Bison encounters, Old Faithful, and so many waterfalls helped us remember that nature does what it wants regardless of man.

We were the luckiest things in the world to have been a part of it over the weekend, blisters and sunburns and all.

Get out there and see what God made, folks.

Spent the weekend being a super nova girl

(me exploring moon rocks in the back while he snoozes)

Was mainly excited because I found the outfit I will force my child to wear to school one day

Finding out I only weigh 17 ounces on an asteroid was cool, but I think I've got a favorite planet.

p.s. don't hike during flash flood warnings

mother nature takes no prisoners

2013.

It's been a year since I've blogged on here. 

Do you know the things that can happen in one year when you're a 20 year old college hooligan in this day and age?

Let me tell ya.

sisters abandon you and get hitched

brothers leave you secret messages on your typewriter before taking off for South America to serve the people of Chile

You become a Wild Thornberry and connect with animals on spiritual levels

You tell your mother you're dating Jesus after your wisdom teeth surgery

You realize you're the only one in this photo of your freshman roommates that isn't married yet

You get to take engagements and be a bridesmaid for a favorite friend

you come across old flames?????

and you continue to attempt to seduce all of your professors (no luck yet).

You also hike...a lot.

Next thing you know you're graduating in a year, working at Victoria's Secret and going antique store shopping on the weekends. They didn't say all of this would happen in college during An Extremely Goofy Movie. Note to future college students: there are slim odds of you joining the college X games and going to class with your dad.
