Red Fish, Blue Lake, Yellowstone

With much prayer and consideration, I have decided to leave my job as a Preschool teacher. (Please keep me in your prayers.) To clear some thoughts, I flew out to Utah to visit my family (thanks, mom and dad for the ticket).

Now, we are vacationing in Yellowstone! We've been many times but it's going a lot smoother now that we're older and more mature (I think). We traveled along Yellowstone and Jackson Hole, fishing, hiking (sorta), and eating!

We filleted the lake trout and ate it for dinner. Nom nom

 We made spicy soup using the trout we caught!

 Then, Bambi joined us for dinner..

 Five Chois trailing along Yellowstone..

 At Old Faithful, again. We've been here numerous times but the scenery always takes my breath away.. 

Living in the grand old FLAT southern state, we don't get the chance to connect to nature. Living in Utah, everyone's back door is a trail way to nature. It's something I always took for granted. Driving through Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Utah, God's beautiful creations stood out to me more than ever. Sigh. Once again, I felt bittersweet at the fact that these states will always be a temporary place for me. Thus, I took every minute to soak up all the nature. During my BYU days, I always complained about Utah and its boredom. "The minute I graduate, I'm out of here," I would often say.  If I had known then, I would've been more appreciative. In a few days, I will return back to Tejas. I love both places very very much. But, it's never easy saying goodbye to your home state. I will miss these Rockies oh so much.
