Catchin' Up

Catchin' up is in order now. New Years has gone and is now in the past. We are currently in the year 2012. No drastic changes have happened that are life altering but a few things have changed. Mom has moved into her new office and has now taken the role of Mt.Loafer's Principal. Kait has returned to the top of the state for college again. A new semester has started for me. New classes, more homework, but one more semester down which means that much closer to graduating college!

While everyone else returned back to their studies at school, the college girls ( kait and I ) had time that we could venture off and do something. With the weather being in the high 40's ( in January might I add ),  we took advantage. We threw on a light jacket, tennis shoes, jeans and hat. Grabbed the keys and camera and we were off. Off to the mountains. Followed green road signs and turns in the road till we found a place we wanted to go hike around in and explore. Up Diamond Fork we were writing our names onto sandstone, fitting our bodies into little openings in the rocks, and for me I was catching/ saving my best friends life as she slid to her death. Not really but she slid down and could have had some injuries from landing in trees.

Walking around and around from one side of the mountain to another like mountain goats, we found a patch of snow, ran into trees, found trails but we very hesitant to venture higher into the mountains because we had not told anyone where we were. Just took advantage of the warm weather. After soaking up the sun, watching water run down the river under ice, we took a ride up farther up the canyon this time encountering a tree which at first glance we thought was filled with black birds. Wrong. A tree strung with shoes. Shoes, shoes, shoes and more shoes.. Weird...? Very!

Before Kaitlin ended her week in Home Sweet Home, I set her up with my cousin Spencer on a date. Which of course I was dragged into so we ended up doubling. Wasn't all that bad. Pizza Factory, Nickle City Arcade and Yogurtland to finish.

With 2011 in the past and this new year starting, I hope to find good things in store, set new goals to achieve, become a better student but mostly create good memories with my family that I love and also friends around.
