My first family blog post


So I am sitting in the kitchen at Sharese's house and decided to add something to the family blog. Tomorrow I will embark on a long journey across several states and thought I would leave a blog post in the event that something catastrophic happens. I am going to cruise across the country in a 2001 Acura CL Type S with 25k miles. The car is in immaculate condition aside from the cobwebs on the inside of the car! I also thought you would all enjoy a little taste of my personal workout...I have been working on a special training program that I devised to tone my upper body. I have been at this now for seven months and the results have been phenomonal. I spent the Haloween weekend eating as much sugar as I could though. Tomorrow I will go to Emma's soccer game, stop at the Gap outlet, and head for Kansas City.

Yellowstone..Again!

So I was so privileged to get to go to Yellowstone..again! It was acutally pretty fun going with all my friends and seeing some new things like Steamboat Geyser the largest geyser..in the world!! We left at 6:30 and got back at 4:00..lucky us right? Haha it was a lot of fun despite me and osme friends having to do a hike over because we got "lost". We went on Uncle Tom's Trail, which let me tell you I don't know how he did it again and again back in the day. 328 steps that descend pretty much staight down wasn't the most thrilling thing ever to do. Although it was very breathtaking it took quite a while! About the wildlife...We saw one buffalo, a chipmunk and a crow.. great sights to see right?
