Canyon Fun

I was recently lucky enough to go on a week long camping trip in the Canyonlands of Utah with my fiancé and parents. I hadn't been there since was was a twelve year old girl and it was amazing to go back! I had forgotten just how beautiful it was. The marbled slick rock provided such a contrast to the deep blue cloudless sky that it was enough to take my breath away.

Amid long slick rock hikes, smoky campfires, S'mores, and a bee down the shirt (which resulted in my dinner flying from my lap to the dirt in a matter of light speed), I bathed in the fun of being with my family. I couldn't seem to get enough. I guess that's one thing that I have learned after being out of the house and on my own for awhile--being with the people you love is the most important thing you can do. What does it matter if you have money and success if you have no one to share them with? It's amazing what kind of things you contemplate while in canyon country. I think its because in places like canyon country you are removed from the hussle, the bussle, and overall insanity of modern western life and can actually appreciate the more spiritual (and more important in my opinion) aspects of life. So here is my final thought for this blog: We're done! We accomplished another successful semester! Take a break. Relax and enjoy life.
