The Return of the History King

     Hello everyone! Glad to be back on  here and updating you all with my opinions events and such (whether you like it or not). It has been a while since we last talked so I will get to the point. As quickly as I can.
     The last time I updated this blog I mentioned that I was heading back to Yellowstone for the summer. And now I am in fact in Yellowstone once again working at the Old Faithful in as a Lead Host. My time here has been eventful to say the least. I have already had some great adventures, met with some new and familiar friends, as well as learned some pretty important lessons in life. I will tell you the specifics of all those as I go on with this blog, otherwise this single blog would be a bazillion pages long :P
     I have been here since May 4th and overall I have quite happy here. I love the people I work and play with and just about everything else about this place, with a few minor exceptions. coming back to Yellowstone felt so natural and getting back into the swing of things was pretty much a breeze. Back home I found myself a bit more miserable and depressed then I have been here. This is just what I needed I think to get me out of that stagnation I was feeling back in Oregon. Here in Yellowstone I am loving every minute of my time here. I even have a fondness for my job. Hmm, seeing that last sentence actually written out seems strange to me. Oh well, in any case it is true.
     Before even coming here I have tried to decide what I want to do after the summer season is over. One idea that I have been entertaining is too stay here for the winter season. I have already applied for winter and if all goes well I may be staying here in the park for the rest of the year. Another idea is to travel back home with a fellow Oregonian and take my chances at finding a place to live and a job before my funds run too low. Honestly though, I am liking the winter idea more and more. The reason being is that before I left Oregon I made it quite clear to my friends and family that I would not be coming back to Salem to live. My goal has been to find a place of my own, a place for me to call home, and somewhere where I can really find out who I am and why I was put on this earth. I am getting closer and closer to that goal and just thinking about it makes me quite happy and a little nervous. I do not think Yellowstone is that place though, but rather a springboard to help me get to that place I have in my mind.
     Anywho, I am just glad to be back here in YNP and among people that I can call my friends. I miss you all back home and hope that you are all doing well! I will talk to you later! hopefully sooner then later haha. Take care!!!

The Yellowstone Times

     Well, it looks like I have found myself back in Yellowstone for the summer and what a summer it has been so far. This blog I have never really kept updated regularly and for legit reasons. Or at least legit to me. my life has been so busy since I left for this crazy and amazing place. I have hardly even had time to sit down and write down about this season so far, as you can see. Now that I have my computer with me however I think doing said writing will be much easier for me now. And I will try to write my blogs as often as I can. For now though, I think I am going to call it a night and try to get some sleep before I head back to work to do it all again tomorrow. See you all!
