Update

Well, it's almost been a month since I wrote last. Sorry about that. But I have been spending my time trying to find a job and was only today successful. I will be working in a bridal shop that rents wedding dresses as an alterationist. I'm very excited to be doing a job in a field that I love and can learn much in.
Other than that, I've been fairly bored. I've been doing a lot of hanging out with my friends, but as they all have lives and jobs, I couldn't do that quite as much as I would have liked. So I've been hanging out with myself. Which is pretty boring.
In the news of my life, my older sister Trina is getting married on the 14th of August. We're scrambling a little to hurry and get everything ready, since she's been in Costa Rica for the past three weeks. However, her fiance, Dan, was able to do a lot with her on the phone, so it didn't really set the wedding plans back any. And Trina also likes things pretty simple, so it doesn't take too long to get everything in place (hopefully). But we'll do everything we can. It will be fun.
That's about it. Boring life for now. I'll let you all know if something happens.

Home

I'm coming home. I leave tonight at about 11 and my plane lands in Utah at about 08:30 tomorrow morning. I will be going through Denver on the way.
I'm quite excited to be going home. I've loved Alaska. It's an absolutely great place. And I think it would be fun to try to come back next summer with a different position (Maybe a tour director). But, in the meantime, I did what I set out to do. I moved to Alaska! I had an adventure! I met people from all over the world and shared a bit of the gospel with a couple people (not guests, that would have gotten me in trouble O.o). And in the two months that I lived here, I pretty much had an entire summer experience. I lived in about four different places at different times, I traveled all over the lower half of the state, I rode on a train, a bush plane, and a cruise boat. I have nothing to complain about except for the fact that I missed my opportunity to ride in a helicopter. It was a great two months and I have no regrets.
