Enough with the little posts already, right? Don't worry, I just hooked the internet up at our new(ish) house so I have full capacity to blog now and probably will tonight....since I have no life! So, stay tuned for my birthday, 4th of July, and random pics in between!
Anyway, I've had a lot of thinking time lately and I feel like my brain may slightly explode with all of the things I've been thinking about! I won't share all of those shenanigans with you though, bc who really cares, right? Plus...you might think I'm crazy if you realize what really goes on in my head all day! AND I've been so emotional lately, half of those thoughts are probably completely irrational, right??
Here's the thing though, for anybody who lives in the city, doesn't it just get overwhelming sometimes? I mean, I love that there is always something to do and new people to meet, but Las Vegas gets to be "too much" for me sometimes. I think that's why I liked Portland while I was there. This may sound cheesy, but I feel inspired by nature (hence why I'd choose mountains over beaches any day!), and sometimes I feel stifled in Las Vegas. I do fancy myself a creative person, and sometimes I really need that outlet. When you live in the city it's so easy to get wrapped up in the world and forget to take time for yourself. Is that just the little country bumpkin in me, or is there a healthy balance somewhere?
I love the colors and the freedom in nature and it seriously has a calming effect on me. Every time I go up to the mountains, or when I'm somewhere like Portland where it's green, and flowery, and beautiful I just feel better about everything. I like the city and all, but I feel like God gets lost in the buildings and the desert here. It's harder to find Him when you can't really see Him all around you as easily. I guess that's good though bc it forces me to look harder, which in turn builds my testimony. Plus, it forces me to step out of the city and make the time to go up to Mt. Charleston or something and "rejuvenate"
Anyway...that's really all I've been thinking about. I need to get out and recharge my creative batteries.

OORRRRR, you could come up to Cardston to rejuvinate. The mountains are just a short drive away and you can have free lodgings with an actual room this time come August 1st! (but maybe still an air mattress)
And I don't think God gets lost in the desert so much as He gets lost in the casinos, hehehe.
