An Update

Since I haven't written a new blog in a while, I thought I'd update you--the readers, if there are any--about what has happened. I can't say that it's been really exciting, since I don't exactly lead the most exciting life. My life is boring as hell at the moment. Make no mistake about that. All I've been doing since I finished my 3 week class is take another summer class that won't end until July 12th.


But I do have rather interesting summer plans. My family and I are taking a 2-3 week vacation in Yellowstone. We'll be staying in the Beartooth Pass for a few days for my dad to take pictures of the 'pretty' wild flowers. Then we're staying at my aunt's and uncle's house for a while. We'll be there for a five days or so before we go to Phillipsburg, MT for some gem hunting at Gem Mountain. We might actually be staying there overnight and go gem hunting for a two days. That's what I'm really looking forward too. What I'm NOT looking forward too is backpacking in Yellowstone for a few nights. That's a few nights without running water, plumbing, or real food. What is fake food, you ask? It's dehydrated food where you add boiling water, shake the bag, and eat. That doesn't sound too bad, you say. Well I say that the worst prison food in the world is better than that crap.  The meat is turned into extremely small chunks, like powder, and rice or any kind of pasta is hard like stones.  The only saving grace is that the dry ice cream sandwiches. That's actually pretty good.


We'll be leaving at the end of July and when we get back, we have a wedding to go too. I also have a bachelorette party the week after then school starts. August will be filled with stuff that I wouldn't actually have time to myself. As my parents say, I'm like a cat. I only come out when I want something, otherwise I love being by myself.


So since not a lot of people have been to Yellowstone, I thought I'd post a few pictures. The one with the yellow flowers are from Beartooth Pass--the place where my dad wants to go again.
