Apparently I haven't posted since May, that's pretty lame. Almost as lame as Jeff writing a blog and then not writing anything cause "his fingers are sore from instant messaging."
Frick my summer is almost over. Well at least its been a super sweet summer. I am stuck around New Mexico for the most part. I spent a week up in Alberta. I had a cousin's wedding, and then got to catch up with some old Dordt friends. It was pretty much awesome. Then I headed to Manitoba for a week and half. It was great to see family and my bff Kristen again. Kristen and I headed out to her cabin for the weekend and spent some time relaxing and ATVing. I filled the rest of my time, shopping, seeing family, and just relaxing.
Summer in Gallup has been wonderful though. I just feel so blessed to be living here. I have a great community of friends and they are just awesome. I have been mountain biking a lot, heading up to the forest for barbeque's, and just enjoying the company of friends. It is hard being single here, cause, I am basically the only one who is single. All my friends are married, most have kids, but I always feel included and I just feel blessed to have them all in my life. It is a cool place here, this town.
I have been dog sitting for some friends all summer. It'll almost have been for 9 weeks when they get back. Now I want to keep their dog forever. He is a beautiful golden retriever. I went to the Humane Society to get a dog. Well the dog ran away last week. So that was that. Oh and they banned me from adopting their pets, cause "I lost one of their dogs." Didn't know they could be so picky. Now I am looking for a golden retriever puppy. Exciting, I know.
School starts up here in 3 weeks. Hopefully I get some more camping in by then. I have been doing as much outside as possible. I basically haven't watched TV since April, and I have read a ton of books instead. Life is good.
Here are some pictures from my summer adventures:

So there is a little update of my life. I should be in bed, but the lightening and thunder is great right now, so instead of sleep I watching and listening to the rain. Ahhhhhh... Mmmmmmmm smells good too!
