I Love Fall

So, I went back home for fall break. It was a lot of fun. Fall in Logan is beautiful. I love it there. Logan feels like home. So Sarah, Kellie and I went up Green Canyon and admired the leaves. And took pictures :) Pictures are fun. There was a cool cave and we climbed up to it. Oh and we saw some deer.The leaves in Logan are gorgeous. I love it. Fall is probably my favorite season. The weather is wonderful. Today, I just laid out on the grass and basked in the sun for a few hours. It was perfect. I am grateful for the beautiful of the world, friends, and fall.

Bye Bye Mouse.

So. The mouse has been caught! Dead. Smooshed by the mouse trap. Luckily there was no blood. I was down in Kollin's apartment watching "Wait Till Dark" with his roommate and a friend when my roommate came down. She was like, "So.... who wants to clean up a dead mouse?" Of course Kollin gets all excited and starts heading for my apartment. When I get to my apartment I see that the mouse had set off the trap and had been caught. Poor little guy. He was kinda cute. So Kollin gets the mouse all taken away and put in the dumpster and we head back down to Kollin's to finish the movie. Well a little while later my roommate comes back down to his apartment and says that we have another mouse and it is living in the stove. Apparently, we caught a different mouse, not the one living in the stove. Aye! I'm living in a mouse infested apartment.

Well Hello Mouse.

So...... yesterday a mouse was found in my apartment. Our kitchen is kind of torn apart in search for this fury little creature. I want to get a kitty. They eat mice right? Our guy neighbors are having fun attempting to kill the mouse. Poor little mousey. It's so cute.... Well..... Hopefully it will survive the next few days and find a new place to live, because I don't think my oven/stove is a very safe home for the cute little guy.

Travel is What I Desire.

I want to Travel!!! Lately, I have been passing my time looking at all the amazing places I want to travel. I know, I traveled all last semester... But I have caught the travel bug and all I want to do now is explore the world, learn new languages, experience other cultures, and see the beautiful world! It's really hard to focus in school when my heart desires to be elsewhere. My heart desires to speak Spanish and go to:

Machu Picchu!
I learned in my Spanish class that Machu Picchu is an Incan city located 8,000 feet above sea level. It is the "lost city of the Incas." What I find amazing about Machu Picchu is that it wasn't discovered until 1911 because it is so hard to get to. How cool is that?!

Iguazu Falls!
Iguazu Falls are located on the border of Argentina and Brazil. It's an area that has about 275 waterfalls. It looks beautiful and amazing and I want to go.

St. Basil's Cathedral
This cathedral is located in Moscow, Russia. According to legend, after this cathedral was built Ivan the Terrible asked the architect/builder if another could be built like it. And the builder said yes, so Ivan the Terrible blinded the builder so that a cathedral as beautiful as this one would never be built again. I think it is a beautiful cathedral and I would like to see it in person....

Plitvice Lakes National Park, CroatiaWhat can I say? It's beautiful.

I want to go everywhere. Maybe one day, when I finally decide on a career, I will be able to travel as much as I would like. Until then, I will just have to be content looking at pictures. And exploring websites with amazing pictures.
