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!!!
