Road Trip: Nevada, Idaho, Utah.

So, back in June my family, John, and I went on a road trip to Idaho for a little family reunion. Needless to say it was pretty amazing, and it made my wanderlust grow even more. While we were there we went fishing, visited old mining towns, saw where my dad grew up, and just immersed ourselves in the outdoors of Idaho. The campground we stayed at was right off the River of No Return, also known as, The Salmon River. There couldn't have been a better place for us to stay. The weather was beautiful, the daylight lasted till 10:30pm, and it was pure fun. I wish I could go back. 


I've always loved camping, ever since I was a baby. I know this, because my parents too pictures of me in their pack that they had me in. I've only really slept in that trailer a few times, and I've always slept in a tent other than those times. To me tent camping is definitely the way to do it, only because it feels more like you're right in nature, sleeping outside, hearing noises (that freak you out!), but really it's the best no arguments. This is the very first time I have ever taken a boyfriend camping, and it was pretty awesome. I loved how much John got into the outdoors, it just motivated me to want to be in it too. This is also the first time that I've brought a boyfriend to meet my fathers side of the family, and I'm so pleased, and thankful that they really liked him. The only opinions that really mattered were my Aunt Kris, and Uncle George's. I look up to them so much, and I have really appreciated every lesson they've ever given me, even though I don't see them much, I am always grateful for what they have to say, or just having them around. Overall, the reunion went well, and I'm so satisfied.

Oh I love them so.

Friday Snow Day






So, Friday.

I didn't do a whole lot, except go to school, go see John, which always makes me happy, and he and I went on a double date with his friend Jared, and Jared's lady, Katie. It snowed over where I live, and I live in the "high desert" of California, so I'm at about 3000 feet in elevation. I was almost worried that I wasn't going to make it to school that day, because of the snow, but thankfully it melted in time for me to leave. I get to school, and it was a pretty easy day. I only have one class right now, because I'm on academic probation, which sucks, but I am trying to make the best of it. After that I head on over to John's, we wait around his place, which included taking a nap, and him messing with my camera, taking the most random, and not so flattering photos of myself. Punk. So dinner came along, and we went to Panera, which was nice, because I love meeting John's friends, and I love Panera. (i got a fuji apple salad, yum). After dinner was done we headed out to watch the film "Oz". It was neat to see how The Wizard of Oz came to the land of Oz, and now it makes me want to watch The Wizard of Oz again now that I know some back story! So, that was my day. Not a lot, but it was fun, always fun.
