Back Again

I'm back from another successful trip up north.  The animals were amazing this trip!  On the way north we saw a grizzly bear but it was way off the road.  We also saw the musk ox and about 500 caribou in several different herds.  They were walking on the road and didn't want to get out of the way.  I thought that was pretty cool.  Well, on my trip south, we saw about 2,000 caribou, all in one herd!  That was pretty darn awesome!!  That's something you see once a summer.  No flat tire this trip so I was very happy about that!

It was nice to come back and find my stuff in my cabin, finally!  It's finally here from Seattle.  I have so much organizing to do now!  I'm too tired to do it right now, tho.  I did put my bed together last night when I got home.  I was able to sleep in it for the first time in six months!  I love my bed!  ;-)  I'm very thankful for Paul and Sonja, friends from a while back, who were there to let the movers in.  They are visiting from New York and will be moving to Moscow for two years.  Paul will be teaching at a university there.  They are staying at my cabin while in town.  Danielle also planted flowers at my cabin while I was gone.  It was so nice to come home and find them!  I'm so thankful for the friends I have here, they are helping me in so many ways.

As much as I'm happy to be back, I'm still dealing with stress and anxiety.  I'm pretty down that I can't find a full time job, and down that I'm single.  My friends are awesome but it's still getting me down that I'm single.  After being in a relationship for 8 years, it's really tough...

I'm sure there was more on my mind but I'm fully functioning right now.  Still a bit tired from the trip.
