Day 120

     I have adorable little cousins. As I was packing my suitcase to *finally* go home, they thought it would be really fun to play dress up with its contents.

Day 119

     This morning was the last morning of our trip. A pack up and wave goodbye to glorious weather and heading back to the gloomy clouds and snow and rain and cold. I'm ready to go home. But I've really loved this trip. And I just plain love camping. What a wonderful week it has been.
     And evidently, not only can dirty cars be written on, but clean cars can too. I feel like it's waving goodbye to the sunshine, the junipers, the red sand and the delicious dutch oven cooking.

Day 118

     Today was the one day that we did not hike on this trip. Instead we meet with some people holding our future jobs, and talked about our futures. Every time we have one of these meetings, I get so excited for the rest of my life. It's going to be the best one I could ever have! I am so very blessed in every single respect! Every time that I open my eyes, I see something beautiful.
     And so our boots got some rest. And I love this lens.

Day 117

    Today we hiked a few slot canyons. They were so extraordinary, and so fun to be in. What an incredible world we live in! I definitely believe that there is beauty everywhere we go.

Day 116

     Today was a day for Zion National Park! It is so beautiful here. We did one of the hardest (mentally) hikes I've ever done, but with an incredible view. For any visitors (who are not extremely afraid of heights and in fairly good shape) I would recommend hiking Angel's Landing. As the bus warned us as we approached "fatalities have occurred." We got to eat lunch up there, sitting on top of the world, as the park rangers were working on the chain leads we would cling to, joking that they were removing them. What a great, hot, sweaty, beautiful day.

Day 115

     On a trip to Southern Utah! And my, the rocks are beautiful! Even in black and white, with the loss of their rusty red color. With all the extraordinary rocks, I feel as if I am in an extraterrestrial world.

Day 114

Day 113

     Today I got a new lens to rent. I played with it for about half an hour, and am already in love with it. It's the perfect portrait lens! 50 mm, f/1.8! I wish that I could have it more than a week.

Day 112

     Today I was cruelly forced to say goodbye to the rest of my friends. It's so surreal to think, that these girls that I've been living with for 8 months will suddenly disappear out of my life, and only a few will I get to see again come August. I have some wonderful friends.

Day 111

     Bye Brittany. I will miss you.

     What better sign of spring than a duck?

Day 107

Day 106

     These are the days for bare-footedness.
