What's up, Jackson Hole?!

WOOHOO! So, I am officially in Jackson. It's been crazy this past month, and I've loved every second of it!! So, I figured since I haven't had time to post in a while I would give an overview of everything that has happened lately.

First, I'm done with school for the summer!! AGH! It feels great!! After five, yeah, five finals I was exhausted and ready to take a break from classes for a while. However, I'm looking forward to next semester. I'm still planning on finishing everything up within the next two semesters so that I can graduate next May, which still freaks me out, but I'll get over it. Along with 18 credits in the fall, I will be serving as the Publicist on the Public Relations and Marketing Committee for USUSA, and I have a job as the Leadership Conference Coordinator for Partners in Business at USU. I'm thrilled to be able to work with both of these organizations and I know that my schedule will be packed!!

In even more exciting news, I'm all moved in and have started working here in Jackson, Wyoming. I love it! All of my roommates are hilarious and wonderful and the rest of my co-workers are stellar as well. We also have a great YSA branch here in town, and we have activities all the time, which is sweet.

Other than working and doing a few assignments in order to get internship credits for the job, I have been trying to check off some items from my summer bucket list, which is always an adventure! Mostly I just can't believe I'm living in such a gorgeous place. The Tetons are just around the corner, and they are B-E-A-UTIFUL! The wildlife are roaming around, and I am so excited for it to just be a little bit warmer. And if anyone wants to come visit me here (*wink wink*) we could definitely find something adventurous to do... even if we get lost for 45 minutes trying to find a warm springs...

ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!! And I'm working on trying to find it all this summer. Plus, out here in the beautiful mountain air, it's so much easier to realize that there's infinity beyond the long work days and crazy school schedules. If you just take ten seconds to take a deep breath and think about all the beauty around you, the stress tends to just melt away.

Until next time...
