reporting on the best day of my life!

Hey everyone!!!

Yesterday was by far the best day here!!! My friend Nate from school has been working in Mesa, AZ all summer. His brother had and old motorcycle and told him if he fixed it up it was his....Nate took the challenge. Anyways, Nate decided to do a bike trip from Mexico to Idaho and I was on his list of visits!!! He stopped and helped me pull weeds and then we had lunch and he headed off to a hike while I finished work. After work we had dinner and then Nate made a life-long dream come true. He unloaded his bike and took me on a ride through Zion National Park. All of my life I have wanted to do the canyon in a convertible or motorcycle and last night was my turn. It was the most amazing thing I have ever see. Just Nate, me, and the bike cruising through the red rock canyon. I felt like a young rebel college kid jetting off to chase my dreams. Once we got down to the bottom of the canyon we played in the river and talked and watched the sun set and then got back on the bike and cruised by moonlight. When we got back to the resort we started a fire and had smores and laughed and talked some more. The stars were so amazing last night that we decided to go on my favorite night hike.....it was breathtaking. We laid on the sandstone and watched stars for a good couple hours. Nate told me stories of the stars, we watched shooting stars, talked about families and life, and then watched some more stars. It was an amazing day, like a fairytale dream. On the way back though, I almost stepped on a tarantula....that was not cool.

I highly recommend finding an awesome guy or girl and getting a motorcycle and doing Zion National Park at sunset. You will never be the same!!!

Have a great day! I'm still smiling!!!
