Too Blessed To Be Stressed

Ending summer on the perfect note.


Thursday. 8:30pm Leaving UT. Arriving in my most favorite place 11:30pm.
Friday.  Up by 5:15am.  On the lake by 6:30am.  Trying to get down the perfect cast until 1pm (Goofy is much better than me).  Lunch. Nap.  Huckleberry picking 5pm.  Warm River Fishing 7pm. All you can eat Chicken Strip Baskets 9pm.






Saturday. Up by 6:15am.  In Ashton by 7:30am.  Waiting at Bear Gulch by 8am.  Running through the most beautiful country 8:30pm.  Crossing the finish line 11ishpm.  Watching a Moose though kitchen window 2pm.  Huckleberry Shakes 4pm.  Sandwich Tree 5pm.  Logan City Lights 9:30pm.  Chocolate Milk with great friend 10:30pm.








Yep this was how I ended my summer and I loved it!!  My sweet Father and Grandma fulfilled my dream of going to my cabin before school started.  While I was there my very patient father taught me how to fly fish and just spent time with me.  We spent hours picking huckleberries and just talking.  I had the coolest thought occur to me while we were picking.  I was spending the day the exact same way my Great Grandparents spent their summer days.  They loved picking huckleberries in many of the same areas me and my father were picking that day and we went fishing to some of their favorite places.  This was a really cool moment for me to just connect to those who have come before me.


Saturday I ran my first half marathon.  My time was slow, but I FINISHED!!  I hope this is the first of many and I can just continue getting better.  I loved ending my summer with what is in my book a big accomplishment.  I do have to say that I believe this is another check off the bucket list!!


This weekend was exactly what I needed to begin my next year at Utah State University.  I am super excited to be living with Callie Stats!! 




 I am also excited to jump in to my major.  I am dueling Special Education and Elementary Education with an English as a Second Language emphasis.  This major for right now feels so right I can't believe it!!  Yipee here we go again!!
