No, my life isn't that movie. It's only that most people probably don't even remember, but it has some big names in it, so I get a few points for that right?<br />
<br />
My life is becoming more and more the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1389137/">We Bought a Zoo</a>. House hunting, cute girl, multitude of animals, that's my life in a nutshell right now, except in reverse order. I have a multitude of animals, I'm cute, and I'm still house hunting.<br />

Last week I adopted temporarily 2 young huskies! Go me! So my life got a lot busier and I might be short on sleep and between my 6 month old Catahoula, I might feel like I have 3 small children in constant need of my love and attention. And my 9 year old Chihuahua is just a bonus!<br />
<br />
<i><b>I might be drowning.</b></i><br />
<br />
They are large, in charge, and not used to freedom. We're learning. Slowly but surely, they are seeing the joys of being off the leash and fortunately, living in the rural Oklahoma that I do, I am able to let them have that freedom, but much like the rebels and their tea party, these two have taken freedom and ran with it....across the street to the chicken coop.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcW0ZhpSEJiw2TflfiZ3Jl48ZSCoJN7lXulXa7pWA8QWIp04uRz3wyYsSth1zKnxrypGhhfEtITMpLurmjyPBDxh1-ZRZko5KP54aoWrHRk_AEhTettNcNqmjNuuIQYAvnkYrjTGOFfUQm/s1600/13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcW0ZhpSEJiw2TflfiZ3Jl48ZSCoJN7lXulXa7pWA8QWIp04uRz3wyYsSth1zKnxrypGhhfEtITMpLurmjyPBDxh1-ZRZko5KP54aoWrHRk_AEhTettNcNqmjNuuIQYAvnkYrjTGOFfUQm/s1600/13.jpg" height="200" width="131" /></a>There has been some blood, sweat, and lots of tear, but it's gotten easier the longer I have them. I love my crazy life, but I'm starting to think twice about some of the decisions I've made recently.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd82g6s06nxiPf-PWPQEf0jYdFZDurEnNNN4iPEZY3a-4yNoW_y_quVCri62GJRlyOTkIFfyiriHp0k2uG8stGH9ux4wvNcQ-R4jgJoy5LGneUmGrjijlm2b0xziwS0q_lzv8W14x2TfBt/s1600/12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd82g6s06nxiPf-PWPQEf0jYdFZDurEnNNN4iPEZY3a-4yNoW_y_quVCri62GJRlyOTkIFfyiriHp0k2uG8stGH9ux4wvNcQ-R4jgJoy5LGneUmGrjijlm2b0xziwS0q_lzv8W14x2TfBt/s1600/12.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a>I left Wyoming and moved to Oklahoma with my own Prince Charming <i>{best part, he has a Southern accent}</i>, to live the pipeline life. I was going to be a <a href="http://tatyanaz.myitworks.com/">killer sales woman </a>and him the best welder he can be, but life doesn't always work out that way... As many of you have noticed gas prices are at an all time low, which means the oil businesses isn't giving out jobs like candy. So life just got a little complicated! Where we're headed to next is up in the air, but I'm currently stationary dog sitting those lovely beasts.<br />
<br />
Confused yet? Me too. So I need to find a job or a hobby or something to do. Prince Charming needs to find his next welding job. These dogs need to learn the meaning of come. And I need to be doing more productive things than this...but hey, its a virtual diary, venting is helpful!<br />
<br />
So I'm on the hunt! I'm looking for the perfect job in the perfect Oklahoma city! I'm training dogs, selling amazing products, and loving my life! If anyone needs me I'll be tangled up in extendo leashes with two 50 pound fur balls at the end. <i>Wish me luck!</i><br />

But I have done a fair bit of travel in my short 21 years of life.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNEy68tEJTp9uuZhyMhSdirItdO-9NTZIsh-YZBXgOhm20mzFwUgsNkPEaWSS485J9i2XiPfO6tDX9H9YxEA_9niN1YpR25GjNOL9joXpms2vavcBaVoDC17sZX1TnT5wbw1PyoIKBocLn/s640/blogger-image-291981997.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNEy68tEJTp9uuZhyMhSdirItdO-9NTZIsh-YZBXgOhm20mzFwUgsNkPEaWSS485J9i2XiPfO6tDX9H9YxEA_9niN1YpR25GjNOL9joXpms2vavcBaVoDC17sZX1TnT5wbw1PyoIKBocLn/s200/blogger-image-291981997.jpg" width="150" /></a>Although I hate to jump on the bandwagon of any trend, I tend to think I have a bit of a <i>Gypsy Soul.</i> I have been moving around since as long as I can remember.<br />
<br />
I was born in California, but moved to Arizona before my 4th birthday, but I spent ever summer traveling back. I never lived in one house for long than 5 years and never went to the same school for longer than 4. I've never spent one full summer in Arizona and I live there. Every year of college I ran away to some far off mountain to fall in love with my life. And hey, I'm not complaining. But now that I'm finally done with school and my so called life is supposed to be established, I thought it was time to pick a place to stay. Thought being the key term there!!! Since graduation, I have traveled to 11 different states and haven't stayed in one city for longer than 3 weeks! So I have the travel bug, but lucky for you, I've picked up a few things along the way, including the best way to handle solo travel in an airport.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Solo Airport Travel Tips:</span></u></b></div>
<br />
<b>{1. Pack light.} </b>If you are traveling far and need to pack a lot, then pack light with your carry-ons. Since you're traveling alone it's likely that you will have to cart your bags with you everywhere you go. I tend to pack one bag with wheels and one that I can strap on my back. When you're the only one, no one else can take your bag and carry it when it gets too heavy and rarely will you find someone to watch it when you want to go get a coffee or take a bathroom break. So packing effciently and lightly will help with the baggage carrying process<br />
<br />
<b>{2. Always be early.}</b> To your gate, to check in on your flight, to get your boarding passes, to check luggage, etc. You are alone and people who travel with other people tend to think that solo travelers have no where to be on time. They will cut you off in line or expect you to move seats, etc. Also, if you are late, no one is going to hold the plane for you, or let you in line for that boarding group. There is no one to seat save or get you bag in the overhead compartment. Arriving early allows you to secure the best seat you can, get an earlier boarding group, and make sure you get on the plane on time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcHLe1yoLmIKtmmNg5IpXHSZCPtA2Kz_qN13yog8pK8RanGIkmYk29bxIOLmA_vZKJKNQ1On3nCv4wMyy-qd54_VfwftAqYE4yGF1_VC7jSmVRGpc9AZGKdaHBcyVUEHEp3bGfMpJG_JWf/s640/blogger-image-451843521.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcHLe1yoLmIKtmmNg5IpXHSZCPtA2Kz_qN13yog8pK8RanGIkmYk29bxIOLmA_vZKJKNQ1On3nCv4wMyy-qd54_VfwftAqYE4yGF1_VC7jSmVRGpc9AZGKdaHBcyVUEHEp3bGfMpJG_JWf/s320/blogger-image-451843521.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<b>{3. Make friends quickly.} </b>Even if you have no interest in the 80 year old woman with the Nicolas Sparks book squeezed in the seat next to you, talk to her! Making friends with your fellow passengers and flight attendants will make your life easier. Make a general comment to no one when you get on the plane if you're feeling adventurous or just smile a little bigger when the flight attendant asks you what you want to drink. Having these allies will help when you're on a 6 hour flight and you have to go to the bathroom, but you're at a window seat and Grandma next to you is asleep. She won't mind you waking her up, because you're friends. And while you're back there you ask for a second soda and the flight attendant doesn't even roll her eyes because you were extra nice earlier. This helps a lot when you're next flight leaves without and you're stuck in the airport overnight with no friends...better start braiding those friendship bracelets ladies, you're gonna need them.<br />

Always ask.} </b>I am an "asker" personally, but even more so when I travel. I would rather ask the nice airport worker where I can find the best coffee than wonder around the airport looking for the end of the Starbucks line. Ask and you shall receive. It's such a dying habit, everyone is scared that people will think they're silly or something, but instead of pulling out that phone when you need directions or help, ask! This is part of that 3. thing I was saying above!<br />
<br />
<b>{5. Pack snacks and entertainment} </b>Unless you're taking one quick, non-stop flight, I suggest you pack snacks and entertainment. You won't always have someone to talk to, so I always make sure I bring a book! You may plan on a nap, but what if you end up in a middle seat!!! That would be the worst, napping seems very unlikely. So bring a book, put the phone down, and take a little time to get lost in a black and white world. Also, pack food! Something portable and easy to stick in a jacket pocket or something. We're all adults here and we know how to pack the perfect snack, but we don't always think about it when we travel. For me, most of the time flying is a full day process and I have short layovers, so I don't have time to wait in lines for food, so I bring my food with me! I always have it easily accessible, so that I can eat it on the plane, waiting to board or in the terminal, without having tons of trash or lots of prep.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>I hope some of these tips help the next time to tackle the X-rays, gray buckets, and small spaces of the airports and planes! What did I miss? Any other solo airport travel tips?</b><br />

And like I said before, I'm not really sure why. But today, it's a new year and a new me and I'm back! This virtual diary is about to get a make over and some serious TLC!<br />
<br />
So where have I been? Where haven't I been? I haven't spent more than 3 weeks in one city since October ONE! Talk about a Gypsy Life right? Well it's been amazing and fun, but also a little stressful and I still feel like I'm waiting for the ball to drop and find out that I'm off again on some tiny adventure.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiodSzAMXSzhDl2UTEq7_Mlj4MzAh2Iou71YwIygRdMNT3yOZ5t1LF57hr2cHUqFt9-x7MFpJbMJ87n-grD0Ccia-y1vjViRcH5AsrDD0tAozcWxoElHN-9fiucgIkUh6xlAtkeAW4RNZkx/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiodSzAMXSzhDl2UTEq7_Mlj4MzAh2Iou71YwIygRdMNT3yOZ5t1LF57hr2cHUqFt9-x7MFpJbMJ87n-grD0Ccia-y1vjViRcH5AsrDD0tAozcWxoElHN-9fiucgIkUh6xlAtkeAW4RNZkx/s1600/4.jpg" height="178" width="200" /></a>So I left <a href="http://destinationmeoreverywhere.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html">Wyoming</a> and headed to Native America where I decided I want to live for like a while. I spent some time in Oklahoma before heading home to the Grand Canyon State to see the family I had left a long four months earlier. After a month with the fam bam, it was time for a change of pace and I headed back to Oklahoma to hang out with Prince Charming. Then a few short weeks later I was off to the city to learn how to be an intern for the <a href="http://destinationmeoreverywhere.blogspot.com/2014/11/allaboutthatinternlife.html">National Reining Horse Association</a>! I met some amazing people, saw some amazing horses, and had the best time. Then I packed up my life the day after that and headed back to Arizona to go to Florida to drive back to Arizona. Confused yet?<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV0Xpt0nFTAln3K6cErBRC7PQGQ7gJF_0y9Ezg9RQdF2Xppc1ZHRCTSz1ijBwfmpyaUQPabafEbDbwDQrl-ltaO60A1iCGaaSXh6lobHE-AHyR0CVI_0ALKZtUkPYyU6q9rqj_kOm9TRxp/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV0Xpt0nFTAln3K6cErBRC7PQGQ7gJF_0y9Ezg9RQdF2Xppc1ZHRCTSz1ijBwfmpyaUQPabafEbDbwDQrl-ltaO60A1iCGaaSXh6lobHE-AHyR0CVI_0ALKZtUkPYyU6q9rqj_kOm9TRxp/s1600/3.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a>I went to see my sister graduate Navigation School in the world's greatest Air Force. Then myself, herself, her boyfriend, and their two dogs hoofed it back to Arizona....from Florida.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>First stop San Antonio, second stop Muleshoe, then Clovis, then Arizona.<b> 29 hours, 5 cites, 3 people, 2 huskies, 1 packed car.</b></i><b> </b><br />
<br />
So my winter has been eventful! <a href="http://tatyanaz.myitworks.com/">Oh and I got a new job!!!</a> And I think if I keep working hard enough and I keep telling myself I can, maybe just maybe that will be my only job for a while. <b>What do you all think? </b>I'm loving it so far and with some help from a fellow blogger, I'm rockin it, if I don't say so myself!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhupfdAXtOWLlYpqtL0z7HUbDwP5Q_O13uWxJHwNovqpwEObUQD0UPeasg2CcZQYd4g2whG3nwy1iTX7A6vWjaC1q8V4qNwttjRsqu_dOviZCW9rbYtukNAnCkliidZtPrO_QS3UIOD-uQ-/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhupfdAXtOWLlYpqtL0z7HUbDwP5Q_O13uWxJHwNovqpwEObUQD0UPeasg2CcZQYd4g2whG3nwy1iTX7A6vWjaC1q8V4qNwttjRsqu_dOviZCW9rbYtukNAnCkliidZtPrO_QS3UIOD-uQ-/s1600/1.jpg" height="200" width="133" /></a>Well, it's a new year and that means a new me! At the start of this week, I did just that! Decided to totally change my life! I feel in love with working out during the Spring of last year because it always meant an hour long bitch session with my favorite dorm mate and a chance to kind of push myself and eat whatever I wanted. Well I kept eating whatever I wanted and didn't keep working out....<br />
<br />
So with the new year, I'm making working out a HUGE part of my life! I'm setting weight loss and work out goals, I'm getting back into yoga and making this year about loving the best version of myself. I know it's going to take FOREVER to get back to the shape I was in a few years ago, but that's what I have the rest of my life for.<br />
<br />
Well, this was kind of a hodge podge post! But I just wanted to catch you all up on my life!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
2014 was amazing and I feel like I should take a second to reflect on all the amazing things that happened in my life in that year that just happened.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1} I graduated college!</b></div>

I haven't blogged in forever and I know I have no readers or followers to please so I don't actually feel bad about it, I'm just a little depressed at my lack of inspiration to type. Even now I'm texting this on my Blogger app!<i> {What a handy little bastard!} </i>But where is my motivation here people! Why have I not hit the key board and filled this blue background masterpiece <i>{it's my blog, let me stretch the truth how I want!} </i>with any print recently? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The truth...I don't care any more! I don't feel like my life is exciting enough and I'm enough of a sell out to think that I have any useful tips or ideas! I don't have a cute child to show the world, I don't cook, I'm not a work outer by any means, I don't craft, I don't actually do anything! Omg I don't actually do anything. {That escalated quickly!} </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My life is boring and I'm not afraid to say it! My life lacks plans and structure and I'm so boring! Go me!!! So I'm sorry if anyone was hoping to get some epic post about my cross country road trips or my gypsy life, but right now, with my small key board and late approaching hour, I'm gonna share this slightly depressing post instead! So if you're out there and you're listening, SEND ME A SIGN! Because I'm pretty sure even my boyfriend has stopped reading. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But if there is anybody out there and you care at all about me and my inability to write anything worth while, tell me! And maybe I'll start writing some solid material! Maybe I'll even talk New Years resolution goals and how to stick to them....eh that sounds awful!<br />

If there was a motto for life I think I would pick that one. Maybe "Netflix, yoga pants, and homemade ice cream!" But this one seems a little more motivating.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lately I've realized my life...is a mess. But a beautiful one. The kind that makes you want the best out of everything, but everything is so much that you can get anything done. So it's a mess. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And here I am with my messy life and my heart full of dreams. So I want a real house and I want to work on a farm again. So I miss hard work and having real friends and anything consistent, but I've also taken 4 cross country road trips, lived in 6 different cities, in 3 different states, over the last 3 months. Who else can say that?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know everyone is obsessed with the saying "I've got a gypsy soul!" But there are very few who have jumped on that train that actually have gypsy souls. And I've given into mine 100%! Adventure is out there. It's just waiting for you to find it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm loving this life. I've gotten to snapchat "Greetings from..." about 6 different states in the last week. And I haven't seen the bottom of my suitcase since I left Paradise. This is the life I always wanted.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As the year whines down and everyone makes a list of what they're thankful for and what they'll change in the new year, I mark these last few months on the top of my list!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I always thought college would be filled with the best memories of my life, but that wasn't even kind of true. My best memories are from my summers in the mountains, my fall by the lake, and my weeks spent in the show world.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's been a rough couple of months and I'm still hunting for the perfect job and I may never find it, but I decided to invest in myself and found <a href="http://tatyanaz.myitworks.com/">something that's just as flexible as that gypsy life</a>. And right now, that's the best I could ask for.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I implore you all to step out of your comfort zones, find adventure in your own background, or give into your gypsy soul and fall in love with your life all over again! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<b>It's over!!! It's done!</b></div>
<br />
And I have to say, I'm not nearly as exhausted as I expected to be, but I'm super glad for that. These past two weeks were amazing and I can't even begin to write about everything that's happened.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD-Qx7dYHcrvUruGRcsm6kEM8-XA6JQenCEnCzdeRHF0dlPAP3RVV7_EGO_W_wgiqeZICAXItCD5o5RxM5_yyiKXhrs9izJ2PwpM24Yes1GxTtXCKFXmnJfTbWk5VK757WjlCXWRy2CgsL/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD-Qx7dYHcrvUruGRcsm6kEM8-XA6JQenCEnCzdeRHF0dlPAP3RVV7_EGO_W_wgiqeZICAXItCD5o5RxM5_yyiKXhrs9izJ2PwpM24Yes1GxTtXCKFXmnJfTbWk5VK757WjlCXWRy2CgsL/s1600/1.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a>I met so many amazing people, I talked to virtually every professional NRHA professional trainer, made amazing friends, ate terrible food, feel in love with this industry all over again. How many people get to say that?<br />
<br />
Not many! I'm sad that it's over! I hope that for once in my gypsy life, the people I met here will be people I see down the road very soon!<br />
<br />
So I spent most of the week sitting in an uncomfortable stool and maybe I said the same thing about NRHA rewards over and over again and maybe I spent more time watching the live feed than I did the actual event! But maybe I also I had the best two weeks of my life!!! And I met amazing people and I hope there is an opportunity in there somewhere for me! I met so many different people from so many places in the world and that roommate I was telling you about...she's great! I finally have a place to stay in the land down under and that makes checking that item off my bucket list just a little easier!<br />
<br />
Sorry I've been gone for so long! I've been trying to find inspiration to blog and get my life under control. I'm back home for the holidays and the next two weeks are going to be CRAZY. I have tons of ideas and will hopefully be putting them to words soon!!!<br />

<b><i>I'm Cats and dogs or horses....</i></b></div>
<br>
I was so unaware of what I signed up for when I agreed to this. I had no idea that after 3 days of showing I would know so much about reining. After a week, I would know so many people in the industry.<br>
<br>
These past few days have been a whirlwind of smiles, handshakes, speeches, donations, and great hair. I am having a blast.<br>
<br>
It's been a mess of crazy and the internet sucks and maybe I've kind of forgotten that I become a <a href="http://tatyanaz.myitworks.com/">distributor </a>and maybe I'm the worst sales person ever. And no one is buying what I'm selling, but hey, story of my life.<br>
<br>
I'm learning and meeting and sitting and selling, and by the grace of God if people don't remember this hair flower, they must be blind. So it's still fun and I still love the show world, but this just makes me want to get on a horse and make something of myself.<br>
<br>
Or maybe some part of me misses the horse life, the gypsy wrangler life, where riding was essential and never complicated. Where you could run and run until you had to stop because the views were busy taking the breath right from your chest. Maybe I miss those four legs underneath you, supporting your bad jokes and being there when the moments are silent. Maybe I miss the outdoors and the silence that horses have always brought.<br>
<br>
Look, the show world, that's great and all, and these people are amazing. But horses to me have never made me money and I don't think they will any time soon. These horses just make me miss...paradise.<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>Chacheanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16817644734269134967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504521056018850968.post-71887271523570553842014-11-24T18:28:00.005-08:002014-11-24T18:29:42.683-08:00#AllAboutThatInternLife<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<b><i>Y</i></b><i><b>ep, that's about it. </b></i><br />
<br />
Kidding! So I'm an intern, but trust me, it's a lot more glamorous than it sounds! <b>I'm the Youth, Sire and Dam intern for the National Reining Horse Association's Futurity 2014 show. </b>Well when you put it that way!!! I know, I know, feel free to be jealous.<br />
<br />
So this is an opportunity. And it's been 3 days and it already feels like home! I've never been the horse show girl, but this is so much like State and County Fairs and all the judging contests, that I really feel like this is it! So everyone here is a bit more impressive on the showing experience side, but THIS IS AWESOME!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYwHF0BmUBVOl0wW1TZL2ruNh3WAu8srxJCcPzUEjfyR925_OSn4BeLe1-ePURB7ApEN9WIdPnzLAFDXjJnQLXFR-0TDfC80dQfxedvViDpp7p_qUrbRbGK033rSBr_8LjRdwGTmqKffgu/s1600/blogger-image-2103052622.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYwHF0BmUBVOl0wW1TZL2ruNh3WAu8srxJCcPzUEjfyR925_OSn4BeLe1-ePURB7ApEN9WIdPnzLAFDXjJnQLXFR-0TDfC80dQfxedvViDpp7p_qUrbRbGK033rSBr_8LjRdwGTmqKffgu/s200/blogger-image-2103052622.jpg" width="150" /></a>I got this and I was so excited and now I'm here and it's even better! So I'm checking into my hotel and I sign the paper that says I'm staying here for 17 days! How many of you have really stayed in a hotel for 17 days! That's nuts, but I unpacked and now this place officially looks like a disaster, but hey two 20 somethings live here with no rules or dishes! And then I waited for my roommate to arrive.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQwkyuLmPp3LlEUs8f_vpm7KPAGPQBXpyZmToBYh9-imnQLxXJn94gLTtjjrUuD4HMnJ9fGzm9aHTKJrcptcEB59VDbiuvUDeDOYdB4l1k-rBejUl_hTkbD_ApggMo20pj3GNgW_Rhyphenhyphen7q1/s640/blogger-image-1791781980.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQwkyuLmPp3LlEUs8f_vpm7KPAGPQBXpyZmToBYh9-imnQLxXJn94gLTtjjrUuD4HMnJ9fGzm9aHTKJrcptcEB59VDbiuvUDeDOYdB4l1k-rBejUl_hTkbD_ApggMo20pj3GNgW_Rhyphenhyphen7q1/s200/blogger-image-1791781980.jpg" width="150" /></a><i>She is literally the best. </i>It's been 3 and a half days and I think we're officially on the same wave length. Except...here's the best part...She's AUSTRALIAN! When working out becomes "gymming", a lot becomes "heaps", shady becomes "dodgy" the world just opens up!<br />
<br />
This is the best, everything she says becomes suddenly more fun because she has the coolest accent. Yay me! So we started Saturday and I'm so excited we're roommates! As a fellow Economics nerd it makes life a little easier when you're just as interested in being efficient as you are in the Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns.<br />
<br />
We've gotten to the point where we have inside jokes, finish each others sentences, can spend hours not speaking and it not be awkward, and we agree without even saying it out loud! Today someone asked how long we had been together, in reference to my Facebook official relationship, she responds..."Us!?!? Like 3 days!" So we're also dating now. I know it's only been a few days, but I feel like it could get serious! I really like this one.<br />
<br />
These two weeks are going to amazing and I can't wait. We might have stuffed 1200 contestant envelopes with 14 different pages and 1500 swag bags, but we had fun doing it and we are the A team! I can't wait to see what the rest of this internship brings!<br />

<br />
So I've been desperately searching for a way to make a little money from home. It's been a long 9 months living without Prince Charming and this summer was a God send! It was everything I could have asked for in our relationship. We saw each other 18-22 hours every single day.<br />
<br />
Now if you can work with your significant other and then go home and be friends with them and want to spend time with them, I think you should get a prize. It's hard to have the same job and expectations and do the same dangerous things and not fight with each other about it. But we made it through the summer and now I'm ready to spend sometime with him away from work. So I've decided to become a camper queen and find something to do with my spare time.<br />
<br />
I found just that! I followed a few people and did a little research and found this amazing woman who blogs, is a nurse, is a loving wife and mother and had an opportunity for me! So I decided to sign up.<br />

From what I researched, they do, but I'm not going to do that!<br />
<br />
I'm sharing with all of you my opportunity! I'm finally doing something for me where I can make spending money, live in the camper and finally make it look like a home, and be with my favorite person! And I don't even have to leave the comfort of my sweats!<br />

The lovely ladies of <a href="http://www.sagetheblog.com/2014/">Sage the Blog</a> and <a href="http://www.sew-my-soul.com/">Sew My Soul </a>have come up with a wonderful link up that I'm super excited about!</div>
<br />
Link you ink! A friend of mine once told me "Tattoos are a thing of our generation." I grew up in a family where tattoos were a big no-no, and still are. It's just not something you we should ever think about getting. As my mom would say, "You can't love something so much that you need it on your body forever." I'm not so sure I agree with her.<br />
<br />
I was always nervous about wanting a tattoo and every time I saw someone with one I assumed that they were rebellious and not someone I would be friends with. But my first summer at Sombrero all that changed.<br />
<br />
The first girl I ever met there was this hippie from Chicago who rode English style and was full of rebellion. She had a tattoo across her forearm of 5 birds. She said it represented all the people in her family. I was like "who is this girl, she thinks shes so cool." Then she became one of best friends! And that tattoo was just so her!<br />
<br />
As the summer progressed, it seemed like getting tattooed and pierced was the thing to do with our spare time. In my two summers at Sombrero somewhere around 10 of us got a tattoo, piercing, or both!<br />
<br />
I was inspired! I knew after I left that second summer that I was going to get one, it was only a matter of time. And I went through this rebellious stage my senior year of college where I didn't care what anyone thought or what the consequences were. So one day on the off chance that my best friend also had the day off we went and got inked up! Ironically both on our ribs!<br />
<br />
I was beyond nervous, I knew exactly what I wanted to get and it meant so much to me I didn't even feel like explaining it too anyone. I knew it was going to hurt, but only for about 10 minutes. I was SO EXCITED!<br />
<br />
Finally after ten minutes of pain, several pictures of the process, a small chunk of change, and a rush of rebellion, I was finally in the #girlswithink club!<br />
<br />
So my tattoo is so small it's actually irrelevant, but it means a ton to me and I want to add to it very soon.<br />
<br />
My tattoo looks like ancient hieroglyphs to the normal person, but to anyone in the horse world, they know it's a wild mustang brand. The BLM brands all of their caught mustangs with a coded sequence on the left side of the horses neck. They show up white because they are freeze branded on. {I went for black because I wanted it to show up}<br />
<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>I got this tattoo for a few reasons. </b><br />
<br />
1. I spent two summers in Rocky Mountain National Park and those were the best 6 months of my life. You don't understand unless you were there living it.<br />
<br />
2. I met my best friend, my other half, and my better self there.<br />
<br />
3. It's the most beautiful place in the world<br />
<br />
4. Mustangs are my favorite. I plan to adopt several one day and I am a huge advocate for the treatment of wild horses.<br />

<br />
They say you shouldn't get a tattoo that has something to do with how you're feeling at that moment or what you're into at the time. So I got a memory, something that will never go away, a time in my life that I never want to forget.<br />
<br />
So my tattoo is small and looks like scribbles to the average customer, but it means more to me that I can even describe and I'm so glad I got it. I just can't wait to add to it. If I could add on, I would add 3 purple mountains with white tops. I would add Long's Peak {naturally}, A mountain, and I'm not sure about the last one, maybe it's somewhere I haven't been yet.<br />

So I decided to start a new series on the blog, <i>Camper Living Hacks</i>!!! I recently just decided to take on the life of a pipeline girlfriend full time and I'm so excited. Prince Charming has been welding on the pipeline for about a year and a half now and after our short summer adventure, we're back on the road living it up in our 28 foot traveling home.<br />
<br />
Since I'm spending the rest of the year enjoying my lack of a job, I decided to throw myself into this blogger series.<br />
<br />
There a million and one hacks scattered across the pictures and links of ever so dedicated Pinners and I have creeped and researched most of them not finding exactly what I want when I look up "Camper Living Hacks", so I decided to share my own Camper Living Hacks with you all.<br />
<br />
Throughout this series I will include,<b><i> Tiny Kitchen Tips, Small Bathroom Solutions, Making a closet without a closet, Storage, Wifi and Cell Service Solutions, and Camper Kitchen Baking.</i></b><br />
<br />
My favorite part about moving into any new space is decorating, so I decided to start the series with just that. I moved every year of college and with each passing year I accumulated more and more things. Eventually I was equipped with enough decoration to satisfy my inner interior designer. And after 1 dorm, 2 apartments, and 1 house, I decided I would be qualified to decorate our new camper.<br />
<br />
With canvas pictures stating "Real Men use Duct Tape" and forest camo pillows, I decided Prince Charming got no say in the decoration process, I think it's only fair. So in my packed car I made sure decorating essentials were the first in there...so here goes:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Making your RV, Home:</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1. Pick a theme for the whole camper. Or color scheme. </b><br />
With such a small space as the camper rooms tend to mold into one another, making decorating each space different nearly impossible. So pick a theme or a few colors that will work well in every part of the space. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{Shockingly enough, our theme is western with some Native American influence. We used a lot of tribal print blankets, this pillow, and bright colors, with lots of pencil sketched western pictures}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTOxKjaZzuD1TIBMzasVrnY8v-H1UD1QX5McjrHY6PZt_vSAm4og0phW3d9mI6jyXa7bxWu1q4P9C6trjtrP14VOVtwGe61flLE3s2ug2jT5NpoMEH9j1C2AlyKPVKQ8ERUMKdUC5RW3zr/s1600/blogger-image-566991897.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTOxKjaZzuD1TIBMzasVrnY8v-H1UD1QX5McjrHY6PZt_vSAm4og0phW3d9mI6jyXa7bxWu1q4P9C6trjtrP14VOVtwGe61flLE3s2ug2jT5NpoMEH9j1C2AlyKPVKQ8ERUMKdUC5RW3zr/s320/blogger-image-566991897.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>2. Pick one item to build the theme around.</b><br />
I picked this pillow above because it has lots of different colors and goes excellent with our theme.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipLCRw_BIuVYu0Iq6ictY36MvYmU1N1iWTnqk4_jik35RWsoSEbrR8Gxs2TlqtSzgy_bL4l1RLEXUedcdbhd8eWQ_F39b7qCl4dAv3JjDcgWz4BLYVOVWv21ElqoeG2UiD53023tQiBXKE/s1600/blogger-image-1068027173.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipLCRw_BIuVYu0Iq6ictY36MvYmU1N1iWTnqk4_jik35RWsoSEbrR8Gxs2TlqtSzgy_bL4l1RLEXUedcdbhd8eWQ_F39b7qCl4dAv3JjDcgWz4BLYVOVWv21ElqoeG2UiD53023tQiBXKE/s200/blogger-image-1068027173.jpg" style="text-align: start;" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3. Utilize all the colors in this item.</b><br />
Picking something with a lot of color may seem overwhelming, but if the item has a lot of neutral color, like my pillow has 3 different browns, it makes it a bit less eccentric. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>4. Don't be afraid of using all these colors.</b><br />
If you pick a few basic colors or a theme, don't be scared to utilize all these colors, even different shades. As long as the colors are the same it doesn't matter if the colors match exactly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{I picked red and blue for the kitchen. I have dark red towels and a lighter red table cloth. The shades are different, but the colors work well together. For the living room I picked blue and brown. The pillow has all the colors of my camper, the blanket has lots of the same colors as well, and there are many shades of brown in the different pillows.}<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Good morning world, its a good day to be a camper queen. {Is that a thing? <b>Today it is.}</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My life...it's up in the air. The only consistent things are my dog, my new car, and my other half. Tomorrow I could be half way across the state or even the country in search of the next pipeline. I'm trying to get a handle on that fact, so I'm taking out my stress and anxiety on this blog! I'm going to share in the next few weeks my life hacks for living in a trailer, how I survive the stressful life of a <i><strike>trophy wife,</strike> </i>college graduate. </div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you're just tuning in, you're unaware of the fact that I am a recent college graduate with two dogs, a prince charming of my very own, a camper, and a love of agriculture. Sounds pretty appealing doesn't it?!? Well up until now, I didn't think so either. Come on, I just graduated college and it's been 4 months and I still haven't managed to find a job, what?!?! We've been prepping for our whole lives for this moment, when we finally get to be whatever we want, we're real adults now. And I'm busy marathoning TVD. It's unfortunate, right?!?! WRONG!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is literally the best thing ever. It's been well forever since I can remember what it was like to just have free time. No obligations, no homework, no bottle feeding to be done, NOTHING! Read it, NADA! I have nothing to do with my day but feed my dogs, shower, eat, and occasionally do yoga! How relaxing does that sound?! So relaxing that I'm going to spend all my time indulging in <i>My Guilty Pleasures. </i></div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Top 10 Guilty Pleasures: </span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1. CWTV.com, </b>hello The 100, TVD, and The Originals whenever I want. I've never been one to watch shows while they're actually on TV, but I've become so unhealthy obsessed with TVD that I have to know what's happening this moment, hence, cwtv.com</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2. Netflix.</b> Need I say more?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3. Yoga at home.</b> My life has been so up in the air lately, I haven't been about to find yoga anywhere. I fell in love with it last semester at the gym and now I can't stop. I've been youtubing it up trying to find the perfect workouts.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>4. Skipping yoga.</b> Because I'm lazy and enjoying doing nothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>5. Have a car that drives.</b> Larry, 1994 Dodge Spirit, may he forever rest in pieces. I love my new Chevy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>6. Wearing my hair up.</b> I wish it was socially acceptable to wear my hair in a messy, just rolled out of bed and I don't care bun, everywhere. I'm sure it might be for some occasions, but I don't look as cute as the Pinterest models do, so I'll just rock it inside the four walls of my camper for now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>7. Straws.</b> I wish every cup and drink everywhere came with a straw! It makes drinking so much more fun and care free. {We see how this doing nothing has had a slight effect on my brain.} So like a 5 year old, you will never see me without a straw or sippy cup of some form.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>8. Cooking. </b>So that might make me sound a little crazy, but after 4 months of the same food every week, it's so nice to be able to make whatever disaster meal I so chose to create!<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>9. Work out clothes everywhere. </b>Yoga pants...I love them. And occasionally I use them for actual yoga, but I also spend most days at the house decked out in spandex of the colored variety!<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>10. Instagram. </b>Who isn't totally obsessed with checking their Instagram 70 times a day...or more!?!? I love it! And I've been able to cyber stalk, find more amazing bloggers out there! And able to start my <a href="http://destinationmeoreverywhere.blogspot.com/p/the-agvocate-baton.html">Agvocate Baton!</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well maybe it's not all bad, but I think we all need to take a little time for ourselves and indulge in the things that make us guilty. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">So what are your guilty pleasures?!? </span></i></b></div>

<b>TO OKLAHOMA!!!</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know, big move right? 16 hours later, I'm officially a resident of Native America. So now, my new car, my fattie dog, and my person now currently reside in the better side of the <b>Oklahoma</b>-Texas line! Prince Charming was excited! And I can't even handle life right now I'm so pumped!!!</div>
<div>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqzxKjm_w9lXpfKlMMSTVp6FrgJPIwePFj5o1N9SZNr9ng0kyjwSa1MqcvaOjY5sAKEGZcaxFkAv0ZYpp-ky13YS74_a8S_4ilVIPWL5wBeOOXoJJI9-KSYfoUFSeHDYjHFQnvkx2_SNtD/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqzxKjm_w9lXpfKlMMSTVp6FrgJPIwePFj5o1N9SZNr9ng0kyjwSa1MqcvaOjY5sAKEGZcaxFkAv0ZYpp-ky13YS74_a8S_4ilVIPWL5wBeOOXoJJI9-KSYfoUFSeHDYjHFQnvkx2_SNtD/s1600/3.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a>I know we're all supposed to pack up and leave the nest eventually, but this just seems like something that doesn't happen in my family. And now I get to say I flew from the nest! Go me!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ptSoYyAUPD3c87KjfXEygMIrNZ6OA43XRareHjRSZAQfqUeNhvZJ52N75vCEECEETDC-Or2EquzB_EO8GPscEXsbOvKzKN-hHr6WWbO-_-_SkYvcZhuA6pVhbF3EDOSV_vrTGQKl3MoD/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ptSoYyAUPD3c87KjfXEygMIrNZ6OA43XRareHjRSZAQfqUeNhvZJ52N75vCEECEETDC-Or2EquzB_EO8GPscEXsbOvKzKN-hHr6WWbO-_-_SkYvcZhuA6pVhbF3EDOSV_vrTGQKl3MoD/s1600/1.jpg" height="320" width="179" /></a>In addition to getting to see Prince Charming everyday, I get to finally experience FALL. That one season where the leaves change color and the weather is cooler and it rains, at a normal temperature not like a warm shower. That season where Pumpkin Spice Lattes can be consumed without the need for ice, soup is a regular dinner staple, and the words "sweater weather" actually has something to do with a need to wear a sweater, not just the time of year.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGusTNvNF1xnIxklhaCpCYxBMkq3Gwzu2_fXE_xn4T26BckZvujcz1e9ZMvxeEGJbYidZq6_CjH8ceQfH1sriV_1etNLmJdIQwGGV5doupPETQFxm7UQYRBpKhaWemZl5dDk5O72Cr6OwZ/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGusTNvNF1xnIxklhaCpCYxBMkq3Gwzu2_fXE_xn4T26BckZvujcz1e9ZMvxeEGJbYidZq6_CjH8ceQfH1sriV_1etNLmJdIQwGGV5doupPETQFxm7UQYRBpKhaWemZl5dDk5O72Cr6OwZ/s1600/4.jpg" height="200" width="112" /></a>Being from the hottest state in the world, I realized you people take these season changes for granted. You are all so prepared and used to the changes in temp, that you rarely take a second glance at the numbers 45 on my car's degree gauge. This is all so new and I'm so excited! All of those long sleeve shirts I have only worn with shorts to make sure I don't die of heat exhaustion, those sweatshirts I bought from every city I've visited can finally be worn outdoors, not just in my car with the air on full blast. And this is the best part, I think I might actually be able to purchase a pair of winter boots!!!<br />
<br />
So this place is great and I love living in the down-home, red dirt, small town, trailer living state that truly makes me feel like my life is a country song. I hope you're all jealous. Things are finally starting to fall into place and in two weeks I will be officially employed for two weeks to help with a futurity horse show and I am BEYOND excited! Wish me luck!<br />

Woot! Although it's been super nice to be home and lazy and do nothing all day, I'm ready to see Prince Charming like now.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR_sdylbrQ4swHP_g185RgSBU8nuRu2ZwP9qQUax0kQjaPn7Yd2tHyRnZZnxJkBmpSiEdASWc_rJFlWHMKYEGOzQQROBuxhecCB55KmqXWoFwfO6inJ8Cp1hyphenhyphen34MFmLHkngpUNhSO4B-sq/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR_sdylbrQ4swHP_g185RgSBU8nuRu2ZwP9qQUax0kQjaPn7Yd2tHyRnZZnxJkBmpSiEdASWc_rJFlWHMKYEGOzQQROBuxhecCB55KmqXWoFwfO6inJ8Cp1hyphenhyphen34MFmLHkngpUNhSO4B-sq/s1600/1.jpg" height="320" width="240"></a>After spending 20 hours together everyday for four months, it's hard to just pack up and leave and not feel like you're missing something. So this summer was an eye opener and there was a lot of love-hate to my experience, but I do miss my friends and the weather.<br>
<br>
It's almost November and it's still 90 degrees outside. <i>And everyone wonders why I'm leaving.</i> <b>I'm leaving! </b>I'm packing up my life and moving! For like ever.<br>
<br>
I so can't wait to move to Oklahoma and find a job that I really love. I can't wait to live in a 5th wheel with Prince Charming. But I can wait to say goodbye to my family and friends again.<br>
<br>
So my life! Recently has been a blur of emotions from sad to excited to stressed to beyond joyful to stressed again. But the things I set out to do here are almost done, the piles are made and guess what?<br>
<br>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC-PLZLNCXjZAUXYY9cNZmKROsik1qMB9BhyphenhyphensE_fyHjBFfG3oClkKBWjslj95wUxfZ2rfMha3fcb3xo0hYFNeRyxZ7eE5nN1QZBRpQZ6By5FUG5XN01lsnScfQISMwgwIBWf2XSlTXBWa8/s1600/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC-PLZLNCXjZAUXYY9cNZmKROsik1qMB9BhyphenhyphensE_fyHjBFfG3oClkKBWjslj95wUxfZ2rfMha3fcb3xo0hYFNeRyxZ7eE5nN1QZBRpQZ6By5FUG5XN01lsnScfQISMwgwIBWf2XSlTXBWa8/s1600/7.jpg" height="320" width="240"></a>I bought a new car! That's right kids, you're looking at the proud new owner of Dolly or Lorretta, the 2004 Chevy Malibu Maxx. Okay, so she's not new, but she's newer than Larry {My old 1994 Dodge Spirit}. <i>May he forever be remember as the car that broke down in the desert 40 miles outside of Tucson, 4 times, in one trip. </i>So I loved Larry, but oh man, I LOVE this new girl. It's so nice to have automatic anything!<br>
<br>
And with the purchase of this new motorized device, it's been decided, I'll drive back to Oklahoma with my fuzzy co-pilot in tow! And my mom. Can anyone say, "Road Trip?!?" It's a short 16 hour trek that we're going to accomplish in one day! We're the adventurous sort, we know. I'm so excited to put my first big road trip on my new car and head to my new home. I'm not so sure how Rocky is gonna handle it, but he has a new, puppy, brother waiting to terrorize him!<br>
<br>
In addition to buying a new car, I found a job, kind of! I;m an intern, what, for a horse show in OKC in November!!! I'm so excited for this opportunity and I can't wait to get there.<br>
<br>
So I bought a car, found a kind of job, looked through everything I own, made a pile for all my Oklahoma bound items, and traveled the state. It's been a busy month!<br>
<br>
I'm so excited to be heading out on the road! I can't wait to see what the next few months bring and I can't wait to see Prince Charming! Hope everyone's month hasn't been as relaxingly, stressfully, busy as mine was.<br>
<br>
How was your October!?!<br>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />
This was AWESOME! <a href="http://www.crystalcattle.blogspot.com/">Go Crystal</a> for setting this whole thing up. She is a goddess for her ability to handle all of this and set everyone up with <a href="http://new.inlinkz.com/luwpview.php?id=460689">the perfect swapper</a>!<span style="font-size: x-small;"> {Is that a word?!?}</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways, I found out about this swap from some serious cyber stalking. <i>I'm not ashamed! </i>And I'm so glad I creeped as long as I did, because I found a world full of amazing agriculture women who love sharing their stories! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I got paired with<i> myself two years ago!</i> A fellow livestock judging team member and lover of all things fuzzy. Kidding about the last one! But there were so many similarities! I had so much fun getting to know Amy Lynn! A fellow Oklahoma enthusiast made the conversation flow and the beauty swapping began!!!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The package arrived and I was literally tearing it open as I walked in the door!<b> I was so excited!!! </b>And I was even more excited <i>after</i> I opened it!!</div>

I was so stoked when I opened my box and discovered a new shade of nail polish I would never buy for myself. I'm in love. The polish hasn't chipped in the week I've been wearing it, which is a serious plus. And I'm just obsessed with the color! It's subtle enough that it doesn't look like I'm a pop star, but sparkles just enough to be super fun. Another bonus, Cosmo told me it was the best nail polish! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>2} Not Your Mother's Leave-In Conditioner:</b> Since my swapper knows me so well she got me leave in conditioner, but not just that! It's <i>Way To Grow!</i> I've been trying to grow my hair out for like ever, but haven't we all! Anyways, I've recently become obsessed with this lengthening process and this is just the cherry on top to help me in my <a href="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/originals/d2/83/15/d28315a80bcbd71615f6f68f462b5d6b.jpg">pre-crazy Miley</a> hair goals!<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>3} Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer:</b> When I saw this, I was freaking out. I opened the package and used it right away and it was awesome. I put it on underneath my normal eye shadow application routine and somehow all of my make up seemed to look better. My eye shadow was brighter and stayed on way longer than normal! I wore it all day long and went out that night and still had to scrub to get it off that night.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>4} Peel Off Masque: </b>I have an obsession with face masks. A collection, if you will. I love DIY at home masks, the individual ones, bottled, any kind I can get my hands on. I try to do them as often as I can. I love how it feels once you've wiped it all off! And I can't wait to use this one! I've used this brand before and I love it. It's for sure one of the best.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>5} Ulta Nail Polish Remover Pads: </b>Convenient- Check. Travel-able- Check. Something I always need, but never have- Check! This is the ultimate in beauty accessories! I always wish I have nail polish remover when I'm in the mood to mani it up, but I never have it. Between traveling during the summers and packing up apartments at the end of every year, nail polish remover tends to be one of those items that never makes it to the next destination. But that's not a problem here! They come in a small box that will fit in purse and I will always be able to keep on me or store away for later. Can't wait to use these when I re-paint my nails shinny gold, again!<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>6} They're Real Mascara: </b>Coming in a peite package, I was more than satisfied with the results of this dramatic eyelash helper. The small bottle makes it the perfect size for my ever growing makeup bag. It doesn't clump at all and my lashes are dramatically longer than any other mascara I've used before. It last all day and long into the night without flaking or clumping! Score!<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>7} Runway Glamor Eye Shadow: </b>I'm obsessed with crazy colored eye shadow. It's rare that you see me in just the neutrals, unless I'm being lazy. But I never just use one color and I pretty much always use some shade of purple! So when I opened this pallet I was so excited. It's filled with all shades of purple and light browns that match perfectly with my eye color and makeup style. This shadow is super light and it only takes a little to go a LONG way! I love the colors and how long it lasts. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">So I've been trying for a while now to turn my little old blog into <i>something more</i>. I started blogging about a year ago and I have had nothing but fun with it ever since. And the more I blog the more wonderful people I find that are scattered all over the internet. So with a little inspiration from <a href="http://www.masonlikethejar.com/">Mason, like the Jar</a>, I'm going to try and bring those people a little closer together and create my own baton of the agriculture variety. </span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you haven't read the <a href="http://destinationmeoreverywhere.blogspot.com/p/all-about-me.html">All About Me</a> section, you're not only missing out, but<i> you're really confused</i>. <b>Quick recap:</b> I grew up in the middle of a city and early in high school I realized the city life wasn't for me. I feel head over heels for the world of agriculture and all that the industry has to offer. Eight years, three wrangler summers, and a Bachelors in Agriculture Business Economics later my life has become nothing but agriculture. So I decided to share that life with all of you via this blog and let you share back with me via the <a href="http://instagram.com/theagbaton">AGvocate Baton</a>. </span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tuesday-Thursday of every week a different Instgramer<i><span style="font-size: x-small;"> {I just made that up}</span></i>, will take over The <a href="http://instagram.com/theagbaton">AGvocate Baton Instagram </a>account for the day. This is your chance to show Instagram and the hashtagging world all about your life and how you #agvocate every day. You don't have to be a farmer or rancher or blogger to participate. Just have a genuine love for anything agriculture.</span><br>

So there are an alarming number of people that take the time to<i> #OldPeopleVegas</i> in reference to Laughlin, Nevada. But if you've ever had a chance to attend, you would do just the same.<br />
<br />
This place. For those of you have never been or never heard of it, Laughlin is much like Vegas in that it is strategically placed in the middle of nowhere desert. Though it's not quite as large and glamours, it offers many of the same amenities, ie lots o' casinos and cheap hotels!<br />
<br />
I've never been of legal age to consume alcohol while in Vegas so I can't give a proper comparison, but I can give you a few tips and tricks about how to conquer the <i>sister city of Sin City</i>.<br />

Go to every casino you can and sign up for their rewards programs.</span></b> I went to 7 casinos and I got <i>$5 free play</i> at all but two of them. The Tropicana doesn't give you free play, but if you loose more than $10 and up to $100, they will send you that money back in free mail, via snail mail. The Aquarius only gives you some valuable coupons of the BOGO variety. I went to the<i> Riverside, Edgewater, Colorado Belle, Pioneer, and Golden Nugget </i>to get me free play.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: cyan; font-family: inherit;">2. Buffet is your best bet.</span></b> There are a multitude of buffets spread across the entire main road of this desert oasis, but the best bang for your buck is to pick one of them. I ate at the Colorado Belle for their breakfast buffet and for <b>$8</b> you can't beat their made to order omelet bar and fresh fruit selection. I also ate at the Riverside Buffet and with a BOGO offer, it was <b>$15 for two people</b>. They had every type of food you could want from salad bar, sandwich station, to Mexican and Chinese. And the dessert options were endless.<br />

Gamble.</b> </span>Not only can you use your free play to win lots of money, but the more you gamble the more you get. Drink wise that is. <i>All drinks are compensated </i>for those who are using the machines and tables. So drink away because it's free.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: cyan;">4. Don't pick your hotel for the views.</span> </b>So this marvelous city is stationed parallel to the Colorado River and many of the hotels sell you on their river adjacent views. But for the best deals, don't buy for the view. If you go during the week you are likely to get a decent room for around <i>$18 a night.</i> I stayed 3 nights during the week and payed a little over $63 for all 3 nights including tax. I didn't have a river view, but I found the river walk just as exciting.<br />

There is always something to do, cheap.</b> </span>So if you're not a big gambler or like me, you only came for the free play, there are plenty of other things to do in this sprawling city. There is an outlet mall just across from the Edgewater filled with great deals. There are several movie theaters, a bowling alley, and a classic car showroom (Riverside). There are comedy shows on the weekends for around <i>$10 a person </i>and plenty of well know entertainers that grace the stages surrounding this retirement crowd haven at a decent price. There is the river itself which offers plenty of amusement for those who enjoy the water. There are water taxis, dinner inclusive boat rides, and jet ski and kayak rentals.<br />
<br />
So no matter what your preference, this city has it all. Just a 3 hour drive from Phoenix and you're on your way to 65 and up paradise. On my trip I didn't gamble too much but with all of my free play I only spent about $10 on the machines. Next time you're thinking of hitting up Sin City, take a second and see if you'd rather save and hit up her sister city.<br />

I see you're still ten million degrees in the shade.<i> I almost forgot why I left.</i></div>
<br />
<b>Welp, I'm back home.</b> And as much as I don't enjoy the hot sun that seems to be pointed directly at Arizona all the time, I did miss it <i>a little bit</i>.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I forget that I just got back from three months in the Wyoming mountains, everything feels the same and I really just feel like I'm on summer vacation. Then I remember, my life is a summer vacation. I thought that graduating would be awesome and cool and everything I ever wanted. I was so excited to start a life and be out of the Dirty-T. But honestly, being an adult sucks.<br />
<br />
Thus far I've learned that, I'm unemployed, broke, and have no realistic goals for the future. <i>Wait, what? </i>I thought the future was just supposed to work itself out...guess not.<br />
<br />
So I sit here typing away this post, listening to <a href="http://dollyshinemusic.com/">Dolly Shine</a> for the 5th time this morning, avoiding looking for jobs. Instead I'll Facebook my used to be friends and day dream about my perfect job.<br />
<br />
<b>Any advice here? </b><br />
<br />
I started being domestic again, which I was in college, but it seems so much more like I can legit <i>#domestic </i>now because I'm not cooking with Ramen or Pasta Roni and scrapping the bottom of my fridge looking for groceries that don't exist. I'm being a real live person, making real live meals, and baking. <i>Woot. So fun. </i>Remind me again why I'm not more excited about this?<br />
<br />
In between looking for a job and figuring out my life, I'm trying to get back in shape from all the desserts, all you can eat lunches, and butter filled dinners I consumed at the ranch. I love working out....NOT! But with YouTube and Pinterest as my secret weapons, I think I can put the marshmallows away and do some sit ups.<br />
<br />
<br />
All in all, being home is great! I love being able to drive my car again, not some shady ranch truck. I had an adult like dinner date with the best friend last night, which was much needed. I even went and got an adult horizontal drivers license yesterday. <b>I love the DMV</b> almost as much as job hunting. I love knowing where I'm going and driving on familiar streets. Seeing my fam bam has been awesome! And seeing my other graduated adult friends gives me a small amount of hope.<br />
<br />
But tell me this, why is it that as a recent college graduate people are talking to me about benefits. I know it sounds childish and futile of me, but I think that I can go out into this world and be excessive and ridiculous and find a job that doesn't have good benefits, because guess what? I'm 21!!!!! I don't need to find my forever career right now! I want to find a job I love and I want to meet amazing people and do fun things! I want my life to be as exciting as it seems on Facebook. Hence why I spent my summer in the mountains. I want to see the world. I want to wake up everyday and do fun things and live the life I love. Not one filled with 401k's and insurance coverage...<br />
<br />
Anyone with me?<br />
<br />
<br />
So end rant. And this is where I leave you, because the soundtrack to Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron just started on my Spotify and I have to jam.<br />

</div>
Since my life of living in the saddle and never having to cook is now behind me, I've decided to change things up both in my life and on this blog! After 3 months of no kitchen time, I realized I missed it and I have been a cooking queen ever since! From pantry cleaning Mexican food to poor mans Chinese, I've been on the look out for more kitchen involved ideas.<br />
<br />
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguBFHsmRNYfIyaWhRYv-JteafasBMYlQx69Y46Y3DKCkq1O26PTTnm_sm-4Nu8c2lfASO3JdcC9B4k0Eh3VEUYyKm2tXP6aricksKtTtsXKmeV051muUMp4YLwaMVBDC1x_X1uJjJGtsLS/s640/blogger-image-1867753691.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguBFHsmRNYfIyaWhRYv-JteafasBMYlQx69Y46Y3DKCkq1O26PTTnm_sm-4Nu8c2lfASO3JdcC9B4k0Eh3VEUYyKm2tXP6aricksKtTtsXKmeV051muUMp4YLwaMVBDC1x_X1uJjJGtsLS/s320/blogger-image-1867753691.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I was searching <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/tatyanazaleski/">Pinterest</a> when I found an idea for homemade dog treats. I've always wanted to try this, so I did! With one quick stop to <a href="http://www.hobbylobby.com/home.cfm">Hobby Lobby</a> for Dino shaped cookie cutters and one quick stop to Wal-Mart for the ingredients, I was off.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Here is the recipe for 3 ingredient <b style="text-decoration: underline;">Dino Dog Treats</b>:</div>

<b>I thought I was ready for this.</b></div>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXuLEyMNIVwJNmQFP8tQFOONQD8s48b88XqivKTKIoClc7CKmR3be5_m7EIW80pz921DzkF-3RLWksq-uY2zQMz7duuhanVrXOZzYY5NW8sm_OaBZsXsgNmB4TEAud6NzIO4bIlMkZATpS/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXuLEyMNIVwJNmQFP8tQFOONQD8s48b88XqivKTKIoClc7CKmR3be5_m7EIW80pz921DzkF-3RLWksq-uY2zQMz7duuhanVrXOZzYY5NW8sm_OaBZsXsgNmB4TEAud6NzIO4bIlMkZATpS/s1600/1.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a>I was, I still am. I'm so happy to be home and it's been great being around people I know. Of course I'm not really home yet, but this is close enough. But as we crawled over the top of the driveway for the last time and I rolled the window down for one last snapshot of this place that's been my home for the last 3 months, I was sad. This summer had it's ups and downs, but I made some amazing friends and even better memories.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Kac3EUq5NKXj13E5dQUOZzhzD-nmwNMTXB6JrgKPaG4YI7RU0IdUtiqyk-kAQSfwiB2KE8GY6SvPvjG0oOCAfXgxSDXKNiWaDCEbjSBF1gAE4tbwwpO_yNrP3a-yZVPOXg9uW9udyqtG/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Kac3EUq5NKXj13E5dQUOZzhzD-nmwNMTXB6JrgKPaG4YI7RU0IdUtiqyk-kAQSfwiB2KE8GY6SvPvjG0oOCAfXgxSDXKNiWaDCEbjSBF1gAE4tbwwpO_yNrP3a-yZVPOXg9uW9udyqtG/s1600/3.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a>Breakfast was filled with a line of hugs from my favorite people. It was a bitter sweet farewell as they all had 4 more days of working here in this place while we got to go home and be normal for a minute.<br />
<br />
So we're here. We made it home. As home as a camper park is. I've never really mentioned this on the blog before, and now seems like a perfect time to start.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT7cJdSUO5f_ecihelvkrh3zA9PqDR-7AKtgok3f0FBwS0xiYM1EX9_i03ZF-CUqw1KM6n6HGk4hWzZL4-oQLP_8UWTZQaSY4wEz8iIFiKV2wc6e5P2y7anmvR2oXZKA0c0CX0AypNWCVi/s1600/25.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT7cJdSUO5f_ecihelvkrh3zA9PqDR-7AKtgok3f0FBwS0xiYM1EX9_i03ZF-CUqw1KM6n6HGk4hWzZL4-oQLP_8UWTZQaSY4wEz8iIFiKV2wc6e5P2y7anmvR2oXZKA0c0CX0AypNWCVi/s1600/25.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a>In our off time when we're not traveling to different states and being cowboys, Prince Charming and I lead very different lives. Up until May, I was in school full time and working for the university's farm. Prince Charming was welding, on a pipeline.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_DE3eLJtW36KSrwBcWUr86iWKNV09ZCiJ861_6Z2uYVZ0jVw_RiSf7KwTih6c-0FHw5Sye0RJUZaEup9hldKdLMVg5WcUuhR0od-C-TxHVgKrQOlYPyhzupQBW_Sgv4adyIoFtD2xjvnD/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_DE3eLJtW36KSrwBcWUr86iWKNV09ZCiJ861_6Z2uYVZ0jVw_RiSf7KwTih6c-0FHw5Sye0RJUZaEup9hldKdLMVg5WcUuhR0od-C-TxHVgKrQOlYPyhzupQBW_Sgv4adyIoFtD2xjvnD/s1600/2.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a>Pipeline welding has it's perks and it's something Prince Charming loves. But for me the situation is a little different. He welds for so many months at one location then moves to some other RV park location.<br />
<br />
<br />
We're currently residing in Oklahoma. And I'm on the hunt for the next step.<br />
<br />
<br />
I head home in the next three days and until then I will be attempting to train the new puppy, <i>Oh yeah, we picked up an 11 week old Catahoula puppy on the way home! He's a hooligan! I miss Rocky! </i>And being domestic! So if you need me I will be over here baking and cleaning!<br />

<br>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGlvTEbD9cMIvi4B_gL1LZaLRVPCoE-JY9OI-0RV8yQYc-7GZG73xhznHf8Bz_1kil21cwqUUAKWMFOMFmIxZhqkKU_LA4QSKFIALQs6CSkcTT8dqt-12M6nPUSXkfo3So7k5uKxWekMLF/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGlvTEbD9cMIvi4B_gL1LZaLRVPCoE-JY9OI-0RV8yQYc-7GZG73xhznHf8Bz_1kil21cwqUUAKWMFOMFmIxZhqkKU_LA4QSKFIALQs6CSkcTT8dqt-12M6nPUSXkfo3So7k5uKxWekMLF/s1600/6.jpg" height="200" width="150"></a>How absolutely terrifying. The three months here are gone like the wind and I still have no clue what to do with my life. But I don't think any of us really do anymore.<br><br>
Besides the fact that I have no future career plans, I am beyond excited to say that I'm going home in a week! I get to soak in the hot sunshine, feel the sweltering heat of the Arizona fall, and SEE MY DOG!!!! I'm super excited to see my fam bam, but let's be honest, I love that little guy more than anything in the world.<br>
<br>
<br>
Anywho, my life is packed. Four months of clothes, souvenirs, cowboy attire, tack, pictures, etc is backed into the back of PC with a Southern Accent's pickup! We're heading down the road to see some familiar faces and even more exciting places. <div>
<br>
This summer has been the ultimate test; for both myself and our relationship. Prince Charming and I went from seeing each other every month or so to spending 18+ hours a day together, 7 days a week. That's intense. There were some moments where I wanted to kill him, but others where I was beyond reassured that I want to spent the rest of my life loving this one man.<br>
<br>
It's been a summer for the history books. One that I will always remember. Will I ever come back to this place? Hell no. But did I love being here. Yes! I met some amazing people and friends that I genuinely believe will stick around for the long run.<br>
<br>
So it's been a good run. I had a lot of fun. Rode some crazy fun horses and fell in love with the mountains all over again, but it's time to pack up and head out. I need some cell service, real food and familiar faces.<div>

Maybe I think I can do more than I really can. Maybe my pinterest board is the most glamorous part of my life right now. And maybe I'm okay with that.<br />
<br />
If you would have asked me 4 months ago, I would have said let's pack our bags and go somewhere, anywhere. Let's leave this place behind and see the world that's out there waiting for me.<br />
<br />
But now, 4 months later, I'm ready to do nothing more than go home. I ready to go to bed every night snuggling my dog. I'm ready to eat home cooked meals. I'm ready to not share a bathroom with 10 other girls, or a washing machine, or a living room. I'm ready to have a house not a room. I want a kitchen, a car, a TV, cell service. I'm just ready to have familiar things in my life again.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH4NXh8XQV_IuvPuriVeJRhDUAOK8frexJBcQmQ-fnSylagReCldxQhrIInoulz_Ut6-TKsowajlL7bHDWwP2LsHOq6lq_xoHkcNwbrqsHDE9rppM51tXH0yNdjbQaDUy1uTslyIHVYvUc/s1600/moutna.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH4NXh8XQV_IuvPuriVeJRhDUAOK8frexJBcQmQ-fnSylagReCldxQhrIInoulz_Ut6-TKsowajlL7bHDWwP2LsHOq6lq_xoHkcNwbrqsHDE9rppM51tXH0yNdjbQaDUy1uTslyIHVYvUc/s1600/moutna.jpg" height="320" width="266" /></a>I always thought that I could live a gypsy life. I have always wanted to travel and see the world and have memories of amazing places. And I guess I have done a little of that, but I wanted big and grand and I was ready. Now, I think I'm ready to have a life. <b><i>Be someone, not somewhere. </i></b><br />
<br />
At this moment in time I want to be a lifestyle blog failure. All my hopes and ambitions of becoming a traveling blogger are dwindling with my need to be home.<br />
<br />
This summer has been both amazing and terrible all at the same time. Yes, being a wrangler is the ultimate job, but this wasn't everything I thought it was going to be, but what is really?<br />
<br />
The big issue here is that not only do you have to wake up every morning and work all day long, you have only a 100 yards from the barn to your room. <i>There is no escape.</i> Every meal, every moment outside of crew housing is spent smiling, inquiring, laughing, and being nice and right now I'm exhausted. <i>I just want to eat Hot Pockets in my sweatpants. </i>I want to open a real fridge and make a meal. I want to hope in my car and drive to a Fry's. <b>I want to be in civilization.</b><br />
<br />
Maybe it's less that the nomad life isn't for me and more that I want adventures and memories, not bunkhouses and mindless chores.<br />

<br />

Of course I don't live under a rock and my two summers spent in the Rocky Mountains gave me some exposure to what snow is like, but never have I gone to sleep with green grass and woken up to white everywhere. I've also never seen snow fall and stick. So it was an exciting day for me here in Paradise.<br />
<br />

They promised 8 inches of snow overnight and oh boy did they deliver. The final inch count at the end of Thursday was 13 inches. What?!?!? How much!?!?! It was crazy.<br />
<br />

Equipped with push brooms and one snow shovel, we were to sweep the stairs of all 24 cabins, before breakfast. {For a place that is coated in the snow in the winter, we weren't even kind of prepared}. The word denial seemed to be floating around the day before and was soon crushed by the amount of snow we shoveled in the first two hours of the day.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLrNUOMJwk7McfRFIxOd4VEeBRo_0FWzDkmsjeVwTuU1x_QNhTHSkCZpmaD-mlMq4PU6yYoAUUx5mIZGeFF7YtjnGY4wche8t96XkwwCmyk9CjZphRhODorAfuWoqY0caIbh0Lt27EekvI/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLrNUOMJwk7McfRFIxOd4VEeBRo_0FWzDkmsjeVwTuU1x_QNhTHSkCZpmaD-mlMq4PU6yYoAUUx5mIZGeFF7YtjnGY4wche8t96XkwwCmyk9CjZphRhODorAfuWoqY0caIbh0Lt27EekvI/s1600/6.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a>After breakfast came more shoveling and filling of wood boxes, wood splitting, and then a cowboy toy tournament in the hen house, then lunch, one more shovel sess, and the usual afternoon off. The verdict is: I LOVE SNOW DAYS!!!<br />
<br />
With one full day of snowing underneath our belts, shoes, and cabin stairs, we woke up to sunshine and melting snow! Still too much snow to ride, so what do we hillbillies do? Bust out the snowmobiles and attach sleds to the back. We spent the whole morning being covered in snow, pelted in the face with frozen trail, and converting the feed truck into a hay wagon. Then we finally took rides in the afternoon.<br />
<br />
If the season could have ended right there it would have been perfect, but everything happens for a reason and maybe this week will really show me that I'm ready to leave the sunshine and snow for storms and excessive heat.<br />
<br />
So it was a day for my history books and I won't ever forget how much I can't handle the snow, my blood is too thin for that nonsense. But it was fun while it lasted.<br />

Well I've really only been waiting for this for the last 21 years....and let me tell you, the anticipation was much more fun than the actual turning 21 part.<br />
<br />
So I graduated college, spent three months in the mountains, and learned a whole lot about myself, all before I turned of legal age to drink. Just a bit anticlimactic.<br />
<div>

<div>
But hey, it feels nice to finally be able</div>
<div>
to order that horizontal license, get into my first bar after 9, and order a real live adult drink.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So my birthday started with a short breakfast, followed by a plea to ride the ever so handsome CYCLONE!!! With my favorite horse tacked up, I headed to the arena for some team penning! After a semi successful morning of team penning, I headed up to lunch solo. Prince Charming and Texas we're headed to clean up teens camp. So after making the decision to not attend dinner that night, I was greeted with a birthday cake and a song and this picture of Prince Charming.<br />
<br />

When you live in the middle of nowhere Wyoming, your choices are limited as far as restaurants go, so we head to our favorite spot, Bozeman Trail Steakhouse where I ordered my first legal drink, Shocktop Pumpkin Wheat. It was totally awesome. Then after dinner we headed to Crazy Women Liquor where I was able to purchase a Peach-a-rita! Yep, I'm that much of a girl!<br />
<br />
All and all it was a pretty low key kind of 21st, but with 3 other girls here turning 21 with in a week of each other, it begins to become a little bit anticlimactic. I'm super excited to go home and celebrate with my family. But I will say turning legal in Wyoming has a special place in my heart.</div>

Considering we're a mere three hours or so from the two rock carvings, we figured we might as well make a day trip to go see them. So after a long night of Square Dance and free gifts, we were woken up bright and early by an ever so eager Texas.<br>
<br>
With plans to leave at 10, we were packed up and in the car full of snacks by about 8:45. We might have left a man behind, but hey, minor details.<br>
<br>

After several hours of red dirt songs, rolling hills, a few Buffalo, and some much need cell service, we are finally within road sign distance of the two parks.<br>
<br>
First we pass Crazy Horse, with our hearts set on seeing just old dude faces for now. Finally we arrive, we park and grab the camera with a strap, tourist style.<br>

It was amazing. It's just like you see in the pictures, which to be honest, made the whole thing a bit anticlimactic, but still totally worth going to say you've been! After a short walk around the Presidential Trail we headed for what we all know everyone comes for, THE GIFT SHOP!! Well this place is stocked with people, key chains, squished pennies, coffee mugs, and even the occasional dream catcher. Well after elbowing a few children and adults, we were able to make it to the register and pay for our finds. {As an avid key chain and magnet collector, this place was heaven.} Then we were off...<br>
<br>
With a mere 14 or so miles between the two monuments, we headed for Crazy Horse. Which was beyond amazing. It it absolutely massive. There is no way to really describe how large it is.<br>
<br>

Started in the year 1948 by a Polish sculptor, the memorial plans to be the largest monument in the entire world. When the carving is done it will be the Indian Chief Crazy Horse riding his stallion pointing straight over the horses ears in reference to a quote he said "My lands are where my people lie buried." Thus far there is a face and the start of the hand and significant about of rock moved in order to start construction on other parts of the memorial. The project is entirely funded by the people that come to visit and the sales from gift shops and such. There are no trails for guests to walk up the memorial, only to see it from afar and view a model 1/34 the size of the monument.<br>

Unlike Rushmore, there are several gift shops, an Indian cultural museum, the sculptor's original homestead, and several restaurants. There are tons of things to do and the scenery is incredible.<br>
<br>
Overall it was a successful day trip that ended with a wing feast in Gillette. But if I was going to choose between the two, I would have to pick Crazy Horse. Although the price of admission is a little higher, the profits are going to a good place. There is a ton to do and the amount of time, culture, and history that is ingrained in the mountain that holds such an significant figure is breathtaking. Don't get me wrong, Mount Rushmore was awesome and no we didn't do any sort of the tours that they offer, but there was much less to do there and really after I had looked at the monument once I was ready to explore the other areas of the place. So yes, it was totally worth it to go to both and I had so much fun with Prince Charming and Texas, it was one of our few well used days off.<br>
