3 Joys:

1. Traveling. (10 more days and I will be on my Europe extravaganza!) Traveling reminds me of my best times growing up where my family ventured from the West Coast, to the East Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, up to the boarder of Canada (Glacier) and our annual trips to visit Great Grandma Sorenson in Santa Fe!
2. Camping. A more specific type of traveling. But I can not recall a bad experience while camping. Being in the wilderness while spending time, without television and other distractions, with family and/or friends is my paradise.
3. Summer. Not only does most traveling and camping happen during the summer but my birthday (almost 18! and Ethan 16) and the 4th of July (my favorite holiday) occur in summer. Also, along with the school-free, warm (for Idaho), outdoorsy environment of summer are the various family visits from far away.

3 Fears:

1. Something bad happening to a family member or close friend. I'm a worry-a-holic. And now my dad has a new vintage style HARLEY... great... (I think it's his mid-life crisis)
2. Getting a B or worse in any remaining high school class. I know that sounds a little stuck-up but I only have about 4 classes that matter till graduation (meaning it's not a class like painting where everyone can get an A) and I would be so upset to lose my 4.0.
3. Being unhealthy (especially obesity).

3 goals:

1. Go to a good college far enough away from Idaho Falls.
2. Develop and maintain positive relationships with many people.
3. Stay active physically and mentally (learning etc).

3 current obsessions:

1. LOST. What a good show. When I watch it I almost feel like I'm a character, and it's fun to think in a different world for an hour. ha ha.
2. Staying up late and sleeping in. I'm a night person.
3. Long walks talking with good friends. It's exercise for the body and mind!

3 random surprises:

1. I am fascinated with zoology. There are so many wild creatures out there that can do some pretty crazy things!
2. I'm an environmentalist in a widely conservative family... Global warming or no global warming, we should take care of our Earth!
3. I'm love to eat tomatoes like one would eat an apple, but with salt. Especially from the garden. Probably got this technique from my mom.

A Couple Pics From Olivia's Jr. Commencement.

This one is actually from Olivia's Jr. Homecoming but it seemed a good one to throw in because it includes the whole family. (Yep, Copper is alive and well)
