The weekend of Labor.

So Labor Day weekend is one of the busiest camping weekends of the year. Josh and I were really itching to get outside again as the weather had been completely up and down. Summer, fall, summer again, spring and now fall. The temperature has varied from anywhere in between 50 and 85 degrees. Annnnyways, Josh, JJ, Lynn and myself all decided to go camping on friday night. It took us a while to get going so once we got up into the mountains every single possible place to camp was occupied. This was completely our faults since we headed out late. However, after an hour or so of driving we didn't want to turn around. We ended up finding a fire pit right off the road. That is as "car camping" as it gets. Not our favorite way to do it but it was ok. It was dark but we each found the closest thing to flat ground that we could. Bobo is getting pretty old so she didn't enjoy it too much. She couldn't see to relax and ee all sort of had a restless night. Bobo was awake all night and my body ached from the "flat" ground that turned out to be a series of ant hills and mounds. My hole body was sore in the morning. Despite the conditions I actually enjoyed it. I may consider purchasing a better ground matt or pad. So after shaking off all of the ants and cleaning the tent we headed back down to Orem. We will have to get out earlier next year.

Bobo was a little bit squished.

"Good morning Merry Sunshine!"

I was feeling colorful that morning.

I will really have to watch myself now since that last post of mine. I can't make any grammar errors now haha.

Apparently a few family members were offended by that post. It is a little bit amazing how the people that know you better than anyone else can take something you said and make it sound like you meant something completely different. Weird.

I patient of mine told me something valuable the other day. She said "Make sure all the words that come out of your mouth are nothing but sweet; you never know when you might have to eat them". I find that to be true. However, the last post was in no way meant to be taken as angry or frustrated or ill-tempered. It was just me expressing an opinion. Why I feel the need to defend myself I don't know. This is my blog, and no one is ever going to be forced to read it. For those of you who know me: think the best. Give the benefit of the doubt because more often than not I mean something to be more light-hearted than you might be taking it, even with this post now. I only offer thoughts and opinions here. Not judgments and criticisms. I shouldn't have to feel self-conscious or skeptical about what I say. This blog is my space to be me. This is my house. Anyone is welcome to come in, and they are just as welcome to leave.
