I had to get up at 3:30 AM THIS MORNING! AAAHHH IA M TIRED! *breathes heavily* Anyways I managed to sleep for like an hour and a half on the plane, but planes are impossible to really be comfortable on so that ended. Now I am home with my puppy who went nuts when he saw me.

I start my new job tomorrow, which I am very nervous about, so I am not left with a lot of time to relax.


Overall from this trip, I was reminded one of the reasons the US is a magnificent place. Even if the country is full of strife, corruption, and dissension, we still have one of the most gorgeous and diverse countries in the world and we have landscapes that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Even if all else fails, we still have that to be proud of and every American, visitor, what have you, deserves the opportunity to see these amazing places!

Another thing I have concluded....well, around 2 years ago I went to Scotland for four weeks. I was blown away, and the country stole my heart. I had never felt as happy as I was in Scotland. Something about the place just felt like I belonged, like I was connected to it.

I have often wondered since then if it was just the amazing mountains I was connected to, as people who are raised in mountains often are. I wondered if I would have the same feeling if I went to the even more spectacular mountains the US has to offer..................I did not. As amazing as these places were, I never even felt a twinge of what I felt in Scotland. When I left Scotland, I wept. I was so heartbroken that I had to leave, it tore me apart. Now, I am just content to be back in my own bed and to stop living out a suitcase! So now, I know for sure that Scotland was special in a very unique way to me, which makes me all the more determined to go back!

There are still so many things I need to see in the US, but this trip was a heck of a start! I got to cross off I think a total of four things off my bucket list (yes I actually have one of  those). One was to see a desert for the first time, another was to see the Rocky Mountains.

This blog is by no means over! I still have those photos I promised you all from my brother! Just who knows how long it will take for him to post them...... -_-

Until next time!
