Finally, Wyoming

I've been a very bad blogger lately...I admit it. But I went from being sick to having company to being just plane busy! Here's the last two weeks in a nutshell:

•My friend "the sinus infection" followed me around for over a week.
•I saw a wacky doctor who told me I was better off sniffing essential oils than taking any actual prescription meds to get better--and for whatever reason, I took his advice.
•The especially annoying tourists started showing up--you know which ones I mean; the ones that think this is mexico and they can barter for anything they want and think the rules don't apply to them because they don't actually live here. I'll be glad when they're all gone.
•I baked an apple-shaped birthday cake which half melted in the ridiculous humidity we've been having.
•Jimmy came to visit!
•I turned 23
•I went on a fishing trip that was lots of fun (thanks for the sea sick patches Jimmy's doctor!)
•We saw lots and lots of sea lions and managed to find two huge whelks that Joe pickled and intends to eat.
•I baked another cake--this one for a baby shower (I'll post pictures soon)
•I attended said baby shower
•Numerous shoreline areas were closed due to the incredible swells that were overtaking the pier, cliffs, etc. and tragically killed a 7 year-old girl. (It's been all over the news, everywhere! It even made headlines in China!)

I'm probably missing lots of important/fun things, but that's the basic gist of it.

Now, I think it's about time I start posting some of the pictures from my trip to Wyoming. Here are some of my favorites from just the first day. Most of them are form our hike to Inspiration Point and Hidden Falls, but the first one is from the top of Signal Mountain. That's Jimmy leaning against the fence. I wish it was a bit brighter, but it's still a nice picture.

I think I need to print and frame some of the moose pictures. I just love those animals! The way they flop their ears is adorable! --and they have the goofy grin too! I could have sat and watched them all day!























If I get things together, I'll hopefully have more photos in the next day or two.
