Greetings from TN!
I had an absolutely AWESOME trip across the country from OR to TN. Once again, I drove by myself. I took I-70 this time (When I went from TN to OR I took I-80). I think that everyone should drive this route! I went to the Natural Arches in the Highland Canyons in Utah and spend about 5 hours driving around the National Park. While I was there, a thunder and lightening storm settled on the east side of the canyon while the sun went down on the west side. (I think I have that right.. sun sets in the west, right?! lol) The setting sun turned the huge rain cloud into a huge wall of pink with lightening flashing out of the pink cloud. And the sun set with dazzling colors behind the towering pillers in the canyon. I have NEVER seen anything so gorgeous. I just sat on the grass barely daring to blink because I didnt want to miss a second of it. It as absolutely amazing.
I also enjoyed the Rockies. I know exactly where I want to go snowboarding! It is off of Exit 195, on Cooper Mt! lol AWESOME mountain with incredible runs...lol I had a great time driving thru the Rockies, and again, I just couldnt drive slow enough to take it all in. lol
After 7 days of driving and sight-seeing, (yup, took me 7 whole days....lol) I drove into Collegedale about 11pm on the 18th of August. I spent Sunday buying furniture (got a really nice couch, a queen sized bed, a beautiful dresser, etc) and then I spent the rest of the week sleeping (LOTS!) and unpacking.
Now school is in full force. I had the unfortunate experience of getting terribly sick this last week (102 degrees fever... it was awful cuz I had papers to write and stuff to read, and I wouldnt go to bed until it was all done!) but now I am feeling better, fortunately. My hardest class is spanish, and totally lost is a good way to describe how I am feeling in that class right now! lol
I have been reading my Bible through lately and the Lord has been showing me all the verses that talk about how a Christian should act, talk, what their attitude should be, how they should relate to others, etc. It has been a great experience.
Will post some pics here if my computer will let me (hard drive is going bad).
