Alright so I just have to brag a little bit more about this and then I will be done until October... Maybe, I am not going to make any big promises about that. But here it goes. I'M GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!!!!!! thats right, my parents are going to come out and go with me to Disneyworld for my 20th birthday, I don't know of a better way to celebrate the end of my teen years then by spending it with Disney and my wonderful parents. So I am way excited, be jealous.
I woke up this morning, insanely early on my day off, and the thought came to me of going on a Media fast. My sister Kaitlin did it one of her semesters up at BYU and she really enjoyed it so I am going to give it a try. starting at midnight tonight, so the start of the 24th of August, I am going to be taking out all the Media in my life for the next week. I will not be getting on the Internet, I will be writing Kaitlin by hand this week, I will not be watching any movies/TV (not that I do that a lot anyways), I am only going to be listening to Church music and reading church friendly books, namely my scriptures, and I have changed my background on my computer to a picture of Christ. I am going to take this opportunity to strive to become closer to my Heavenly Father and not be so dependent on the temporal things such as what I can find online. Anyone interested in joining me in my Media fast is welcome to.

Great Falls
I had the day off today due to working on the weekend so the Losee's invited me to go to great falls with them. John told me that we were going to leave at 7:30 this morning, it was my day off I wanted to sleep in but at the same time I really wanted to go to great falls. So despite my complaints about the time we ended up leaving a little after 8. I had actually thought about not going so I could sleep in but I needed to get out of the house so off I went even though the time was earlier then what I thought it would be.
Do to happenings at work yesterday, I wont go into what happened just know it was bad, I didn't want to wear my shoes, they were nasty and needed to be washed so my brilliance shined through and on came the flip flops, and off I went to the great out doors, not really thinking about having to climb up and down rocks... not my brightest moment but guess what I didn't slip at all, and don't worry there weren't that many rocks that I had to climb... it would have been less if we hadn't taken an extremely long detour. When we got there the visitor center was closed so we decided to trust in a map to get us to the great falls, we could here falls close by but decided the map was better to fallow and off we went, the further we walked the further away the sound went and then all of a sudden we could hear them again, No we weren't going in circles, when we reached a breaking part in the trees so we could see the river this is what we saw.
Looks like falls right, but not very exciting, as we walked closer we realized that it was the damn, and when we looked at the map again we realized that the falls we were looking for were right next to the visitors center we had started out at. Although the nature walk was nice it just had a few more rocks then what I had been planning on climbing while I was out today.
So we turned around and headed back to the falls and the visitors center. We went and walked around the visitors center and did a few activities in the hands on section for kids, I did a Holly leaf print, I put a print under a piece of paper and went over it with a green crayon, I was pretty pleased with how it turned out. When we were done we went to the actual falls.
Doesn't that look a lot more exciting then the damn, I had been thinking that the damn was a bit disappointing to have gotten up early to go and see but it turned out that it was worth it.
The only down fall was that my foot was bitten, and now it itches like crazy.

Life's Update
Well I have made it back to the east coast and through my first week back at work...It was a very long and hard week but I made it through. I really enjoyed my vacation it was full of spending time with my family, making sure I kept my place as favorite aunt, which worked very well if I may say so myself, and spending time with long lost friends. So lets just say that it was very hard for me to hope on a plane last Sunday and come back... I love the east coast but I don't really care for being across the country from my family. That leads me to the next choices I am going to be making in my life... As much as I love my job, not so much what I do, but the people I work with, I don't want to be doing that for the rest of my life, So I have decided that I am going to go back to school. That means that at the end of the year I will be packing up my bags heading right back to where I started at the beginning of this year, but I will be in a better emotional state, wiser, and hopefully a whole new person. I have decided that I am going to finish my associates degree and the easiest way for me to do that is to go back to where I started it so I don't need to worry about transfering any credits... So instead I get to worry about finding another job when I get back and juggling job and school while living back at home. I am looking forward to going back and being closer to my family and finishing some sort of school since I seem to have a habit of bailing out of that before I am completed. But I am also looking forward to the last few months I have here.
