Boo to spring blizzards and technological overload

Well the weather just wants to keep teasing us. A couple of days of beautiful sunshiny springness, then one morning I will wake up to find several inches of snow on the ground and a raging blizzard blowing around my apartmen. It's not so great as one can imagine, it just taunts me with what could be and then it's gone.

As far as technological overload, I get tired of people who live in the same town as me making comments such as "well we talk on facebook, why would I come over and hang out?" At first I took such comments very personally, now I just get frustrated. Facebook should not in any way replace important one on one time with those who still live within a reasonable distance away.

Almost Done! (sort of)

I got my graduation papers signed today! As of December I will officially have an accounting degree! Now if I can just make sure and pass all my classes decently this term...... I'm hoping to pull my GPA up a little bit if I can, but I realized that most of my classes are pretty steep classes so I guess I'll just see how it goes.

Good-bye Summer

Wow I can't believe that summer is over. Part of me thinks that it has dragged on like a neverending bad movie, then part of me feels that it seems only yesterday that school was getting out and I was wondering what to do with myself for the next three months.
Anyway, wow what a summer it has been! The first part was terrible, I got some sort of nasty virus or something for a few weeks. Then the middle part wasn't so great, because by the time I got to feeling better the high school was out and there were no job openings (not that there were that many to start with). Plus most all of my friends had moved away--or are married and moving on with their lives and new families.
Then the last few weeks since my birthday have been pretty good. I've had some good friends around who have made all the difference. I got to go play and explore like never before and it has been great. Now if I could only find a job to get me through the school year.

2009

Lately I feel as though I've been born in the wrong century. I find myself growing tired of electronic communications and texting and facebook and IM etc. I am tired of this fast paced world in which we all live where people rarely take time to just sit down and talk to one another. This doesn't often create long lasting relationships and bonds that carry over for years and years (anyone seen the divorce rates recently). I wish that we still would visit with one another like people did 50 years ago on a regular basis.

Angels Landing at Zions park

Angels Landing in the distance.

The path up the mountain. This is a pretty steep hike.



The switchbacks- aka Walters wiggles.
Just taking a little break after the terrifying ridge......... it was scary, really scary.



And at last! The view from the rop of Angels landing!
