Let the count down start... Kaitlin Jean Stewart gets home in two weeks from this very day. You all don't even understand how excited I am to have her back. She is incredible. She has been on her mission in Germany... It has gone by SO fast, yet SO slow at the same time. I just can't even wait to see her! Crazy how fast a year and a half goes by... It just makes me think? What have I been doing in the last year and a half to report... I have to start making up some pretty cool stories. I can't even WAIT!!!!!
love ya

Life is good! :)
It is crazy how life works... It really is? I just think to myself how grateful I am for my life. Its funny how you think you want one thing in life and not getting it is what you REALLY want. I was talking to my sister in law this morning and we were going through things we are grateful for. Seriously I have no complains, I mean there are things I would change about my life, things I am working towards, things i want to do better, but really I love my life. I am so lucky for everything, and everyone I have. I mean my life is not prefect by any means, I have been lied to, hurt, sad, mad, confused, frustrated, unhappy, etc. but I look back on those experiences in my life and I am nothing but grateful for them.
When I was in DC a couple weeks ago my uncle Floyd said this... it stuck with me... "When times get tough... We get tougher..." I loved it. Don't be a weak person, be tough.
Until next time...

4 states, 3 days, 2 best friends, 1 crazy adventure!!!
It all started when my best friend Chels said "hey we should get a big group of people and go camping in Jackson." When it came down to it everyone started to drop like flies. But that didn't stop Chels and I. We decided to go up to Jackson Hole, WY because I have never been there before. The first adventure was figuring out where we were going to sleep. We decided to just take the seats out of Chels car and sleep in the car. We were both VERY excited about this decision and started on our way.
WE started around noon on Friday afternoon. We made our way up to Idaho. Of course we had to take pictures on the way.
On the way to Bandcroft Chels taught me my FAVORITE new game. Penny surfing. GREATEST game EVER!
First stop Bandcroft, ID.
5 of those 382 people I am related too!
Sedrah and I. I am FOR SURE her VERY FAVORITE aunt!
We went to Bandcroft because they had a rodeo for the 24th of July! SO of course I had to dress the part.
Although I have NEVER been on a horse we still needed our picture by it.
We had dinner with my family, then we were on our way to Jackson! I was VERY excited because I was a first timer.
our stop along the way was a bathroom break of course. We found a place to take some pictures to honor Pioneer Day!
When we pulled in to Jackson Hole it was dark so we just went right over to where the lights were.... We happened to come across the Fair! Of course we went right up to get on to the fairs wheel. I had NEVER been on one before so I this was another first time experiences.
Chels was a little nervous about it.
After the fairs wheel we had funnel cake... not as good as Disney's but pretty good
After the Fair we went to find somewhere to park our tent/car. We drove into a camp ground that was full so we just parked in the check in lot. It went really well because we had some friends who did the same thing.
The next morning we went into town and got some breakfast.
WE MADE IT!!!
WE of course got ready in the car and went shopping around the town of Jackson. There were so many great shops and the farmers market which was AMAZING!
WE went to lunch then we well on our way to Yellow Stone. WE went on a hike and took so incredible pictures of all the mountains around us. There is nothing like the outdoors. I LOVE everything about it! The smell, the hike, the water, the pictures, everything was amazing.
We also went on a Nature walk that was BEAUTIFUL!!! seriously i love the outdoors.
When we were on our way to Old Faithful, we stopped a couple times and we almost ran out of gas. We were both holding our breath because we thought it would help. We made it to the gas station just in time. We had a great time at Old Faithful. I think Chels said it best "it was a lot cooler when i was little... still very cool though." I agree with her.
While at Old Faithful we ran in to ask for directions for our next location. We came back out and this is how we found the car..... My very smart best friend Chels left the door open...
After our adventure in Old Faithful we made our way to West YellowStone. WE had dinner and did some more shopping. Always a great time.
These were our sleeping arrangements
as you can see we covered a lot of land. 4 states. It was a great time.. I now know i would NEVER want to live in my car. I do love a great adventure with my best friend.
