It’s been a summer…

And this means that it has been several months since I have last updated my blog. I want to apologize for those who haven’t been able to receive their full blogging/Google reading in. Surprisingly I have been busy doing other things that will now be able to be made into an update for my blog.
Where to begin? This summer was fantastic, but aren’t they all? Whenever I wasn’t dead heading flowers, pulling weeds, fertilizing pots, or proofreading patents: I took advantage of the hot summer weather to hike all over the Wasatch Front. Hiking is a huge hobby of mine that I take rather seriously. Some people hike to get a nice work out or burn in their legs, others to find solitude or peace, some to get away from the world and to clear their minds, others to experience the satisfaction of summiting an 11teer or the beauty of a glacial lake, some for that fresh mountain air, others to find that perfect photo opportunity. I hike for all of those reasons and more. I encourage those looking for some sort of adventure in life to dedicate time each week to hike around and explore this gorgeous Earth we live on.
I’m excited for this next semester to start. To meet loads of new people, spend countless hours in the HBLL, and learn new things. But this also means there will be less free time for hiking and getting lost for 8 hours in the Lone Peak Wilderness bushwhacking 14 unplanned miles and getting dehydrated. Anyways, let’s hope I am able to beat the ridiculous class schedule system at BYU and can get in the hiking class this semester.
How does one randomly lose their voice at night? And why is it so hard to find...
