So, I made it here to Wyoming on Saturday night! It was so hard leaving Colorado as Wesley was crying for me. I had such a great time there with them, and really enjoyed helping them move into their new beautiful home. Wesley learned how to say my name, and would yell it throughout the store if he didn't see me, it was so adorable.
The drive was about 9 hours, the last 2 were real torture though as the sun set and I was driving through winding roads in the pitch black. The kicker was that it was freezing, literally it hit 29 degrees, and I was so worried about using my gas I didn't turn on my heat until the last 15 minutes hahaha, I'm so ridiculous. If you all saw the only gas stations I had passed (like an hour or so away from destination) you wouldn't want to stop either, unless it was necessity. Even then, questionable. On those winding roads I kept seeing signs about deers, roaming livestock, and to top it all off, beware of BEARS. I was like "what the hell am I doing? Where in the world am I???" Visions of "Legends of the Fall" kept running through my head. Was I gonna have to take out a bear?? Haha, not if I can help it lol "Not on MY watch!!"
hahaha I'm cracking me up right now
Anywhoo, so I've hesitated writing anything because of my unending concern for all of you guys back home. I didn't know if it was appropriate to tell of all my fun and adventuring as u are facing all the obstacles in NY. I have been praying for everything and anything you need, and that the threatened Nor'eastern bring nothing to u but warmer weather. It's an emotional battle to think of how you are suffering in NY, and my desire to want to be there with my family and friends to help, but still knowing that for whatever reason God has me away at this time, I am exactly where I am supposed to be. It is truly a hard fact to accept sometimes, even though I am blessed to be where I am with such an amazing opportunity, it still leaves me with an odd feeling I can't explain. I hope it is understood that even in my blogging and the fun I am sharing, I am sensitive to all you're enduring.
Today, Monday Nov 5, Tommie, Amber, their friend Nate, and I went for a hike through the Grand Teton National Park. It was AMAZING!! I have never really been hiking before, but I may have found a new hobby. I absolutely loved being in the middle of nature, the peacefulness and the scenery were breathtaking. In the midst of a wooded area were these clear lakes that reflected the snow capped mountains (the Tetons) like a mirror! It was straight out of a Bob Ross painting..."happy little trees and their happy little reflections...see it how you want, its your own little world" yes Bob, couldn't have put it better myself! We reached Elevation level of 7022 feet!! It definitely becomes a challenge at such high altitude, I found myself working hard to catch my breath at some points, and once back in the car, I was feeling it in my chest. Like I ran in 20 degree weather. Now I'm just so pooped my eyes are closing. So, I am going to hit the hay now. My love to all, I miss you and I miss home, my thoughts and prayers are with you guys... xoxoox
I will try to write again tomorrow, I'm just tooo tired rt now:) xoxo
