So it's been a while since we posted on this blog. We have since sold our Airstream, packed up everything and moved to Salt Lake City! Jeremy already has two jobs, and I'm looking for one for me. Wednesday will mark two weeks here for us (holy cow!). We've already hit a couple trails, learned how the road systems work, and this past weekend we went to Montello! Here's part of an email I sent to my mom and dad about our weekend out:
So we just got home from our first trip to Montello! It was so many things. It was both beautiful and dirty, exciting and terrifying, full of big dreams and bigger failures. For so long this place and property has been my "Richard Parker." (Life of Pi). It's been that big beautiful tiger that I'm stuck in the boat with, that both scares me to death yet keeps my spirit alive. We met some of the most wonderful people this weekend that I feel will be forever friends. We were able to dream together, to plan together, and start experiencing how we can work together........ I can't wait for you to come out and visit with us so you can experience the charm of the town that refuses to die.... Maybe we should just wait until it's too cold for snakes to come out, because yes, I had a run in with one AGAIN this morning!
What is it with me and snakes?!? Since we've been out here I've had a run in with two.... And everyone else says "oh I never see them" or "it's super rare to see one"... Yeah I'm not buying that mess any more!
Here's a brief snapshot of our first two weeks here:
