Bonus: Pictures

An angle from the porch that looks down to the woods where we come in from rides.
My room was at that open screen door on the left.

The fields. Normally full of horses.

Close up.

The horses! Look at those mountains...

I like this picture.

My room. My bed is the lower far bed. Ignore the bed in the foreground...

Day 56: The End

I'm headed home on Saturday. I gave it my best try but I wasn't happy here and it just didn't work out.

I have no regrets--I wanted to do this for years and the only way I could find out it wasn't right was to try it. Best to try than to always regret never trying at all.

I can't wait to be home in my bed, find a new car and an apartment and head back to everything I left. I'll see you all soon and I won't have any regrets.

Day 53: Fourth of July

So I had today off which was pretty nice since it was a holiday (obviously). We were still decently busy but I just stayed inside all day and lounged around with Avery (the cat). We napped, watched TV, and generally just relaxed.

At some point I got dressed and ventured outside to say hi to people, etc. After work there was a party at one of the photo girls' house so I got all dressed up for that. I wore a red, white and blue plaid peasant top that I bought for the day. I wore a little make-up and made it an occasion.

The party turned out to be pretty lame but there was a live band which was kind of cool. Most of us walked back from the party to watch the fireworks because the ranch had a better view of where they went off. They were pretty average fireworks but there were some that spelled out USA which was kind of cool.

So it was a nice day of relaxation and carefree-ness. I wish I had another day off, though. Can't wait to be home--80 hours a week will be a cinch!
