summer

Hello friends!

It's been a while since I've talked to you all, I've missed blogging so much. Life has been full and my blog hasn't been my priority. But the wonderful thing about a blog is, it's always waiting for you when you're ready to return.

Since I've last posted, I've turned 21, finished half my last year of college, chopped my hair off, mountain biked for the first time, and spent many warm days by the water.

Tomorrow I am off on a road trip to Wyoming with some camping gear, a suitcase full of clothes, and a bag packed with two moleskines, watercolors, and a handful of books. I'm spending my summer working in Yellowstone National Park. I've been itching for an adventure for many months now, and when I came across an application for Yellowstone, I knew that's where I wanted to be. I'm both anxious and excited, because I have no idea what to expect working there, but I can't wait to try something I've never done before. As hard as it is to get out of a place where you're comfortable, it is one of the best things you can do for yourself- so I'm traveling across the country to put myself in a new mindset for a few months.

I will be mostly disconnected from the digital world this summer, as working in the middle of a national park means phones and wifi are not easily accessible. Instead I'll spend my free time reading, painting, and hiking (sounds like the dream, right?). I don't know yet how often I'll be able to update my blog, but whenever I'm able to I will share lots of photos of my adventures in Yellowstone! And of course when I return in the fall, I'll be back posting regularly.

See you soon,
