On December 13, 2011 at approximately 1:30 a.m. I will be boarding a plane on my way to Utah, to continue my education by attending SLCC, time seems to be flying by (pun not really intended, but is actually kind of funny). I am excited to move forward with my life, but I also will very much miss Alaska for several reasons. Including, but not limited to, I have an extremely supportive family up here and they are simply fantastic; HOCKEY, I realize that they do have hockey in Utah but it is not quite the same. Also, the farm it is strange how much a place grows on you despite the fact that you spent clountless hours weeding row after row, but I must say driving the tractors is a blast!! I have also met some pretty awesome people here and will miss them dearly, but I cannot forget that this I'm not really leaving for good, merely just saying farewell. I will definiteley be coming back to visit as often as cercumstances allow. In fact my best friend Sam and I are already begining to plan an Alaska trip this summer, and I really hope that it will work out.
One thing I do love about Utah though is that you can make trips to Moab, and Park City, St. George, even Idaho and Wyoming in a very reasonable amount of time with very little notice, I defintiely look forward to spotaneous trips to awesome places with my best friends and hopefully that includes a lot of camping. With school and work it might be a little difficut, but I know that it's definitely doable and so worth it! I am also very excited that I will have the opportunity to go to downtown Salt Lake City to see the lights again this year, it is one of my favorite Christmas time traditions. I am a pretty lucky girl, I get to get an appartment with my best friends, go to school and be close to my family. Yeah, life is good. I am exteremly grateful for my friends and family and the awesome support they give me. I am really excited to see what this chapter in my life will bring!! Well, until next time (which may or may not be tomorrow). Smile!! :)
