Over a 1,000 and 2 things off my bucket list

Sun Set on the way down to St. George

Seeing the St. George temple. It really is as white as everyone was telling me. 

Three Amigas that was on the trip


I love the back of this trailer. 

Second stop was Grand Canyon- North Rim.

It is an amazing view. Maybe one day I will get to see the South rim.


I love this. I went up into an outlook and there was slates through the wall and this is what I shot.

First Attempt of pamaroma


On the way to Blanding, UT

I love that the only one that was 100% in everyone was Amanda

Kim, Amanda and I

Stopping to get gas in a po-dunk town.

Monticello, Utah Temple


Wilson Arch- Amanda's last name is Wilson so we thought this was cool.

This is really cool. Under those words are white doors. That people actually built and lived in.

On the way to the Arches


Balancing Rock

At the start of the 3 mile hike.

Most of it was UP!!!!!

Half Way up the hardest part of the hike

These little things were everywhere. It was so cool. They were different.

The first time that I thought I would turn back.

Start counting down.

3..2..1.......

I made it!

We made it.

Isn't it great


Kim and I

Amanda and I

Marking another thing off my bucket list

What goes up must go down

We made it back down

Dinner in Moab, UT at Zax Pizza before heading back home

Sun Set before we got back

I am so glad that I got to take the Grand Canyon and the Delicate Arch off my bucket list. I am glad that I had 2 fun girls to do it with me.

What calmed me

Yesterday I watched Conference with my friend Kim. After the first session we decided to go to Chilis. It was really good. Before we left Chilis Amanda joined us. While we were waiting for our food we decided to go bowling after the second session of Conference. Well the more we talked the more we changed our mind. We decided to go to Thanksgiving Point Gardens. It was the best thing we could have done. While walking around the gardens an amazing feeling came over me. The last 3 or 4 weeks I have been stressing out over little things, I have been getting into the dumps wondering why I moved to West Jordan, how will I ever get use to being the lead teacher in this district, how will I ever catch up on my to do list when people won't help me on somethings that I needed their help with, and how on earth will I ever fulfill the rest of my goals. But walking around those gardens a calming feeling came over me telling me that I moved to West Jordan because that is how I would fulfill my goal of become a teacher and there is more to life and I have to learn that. I felt that I will get use to being a lead teacher day by day, I will get caught up on my to do list with just time and patience. And lastly I felt that fulfilling the rest of my goals will come just like all of the rest of my goals that I have fulfilled. It is exactly what I needed. I want to go back to these gardens in the Spring. It is amazing. If you have not gone you should. I know I want to take my mom some day. We were not suppose to take pictures in the gardens but I could not help myself and I will share a few with you.
