Land's End Giveaway

Playing in the snow, hot tea, warm slippers, chunky sweaters, a cozy fire in the fireplace — these are just some of the simple joys of winter. Winter is the season for celebrating family holidays and traditions, and making lifelong memories. My most vivid memories from my childhood are of building snow forts, skiing, celebrating the Christmas holiday with family, crispy cold weather and scary drives on slippery roads. Winter is one my favorite seasons! Wyoming winters are long! So, a great coat is a must! A blog that I just love to read is hosting a spectacular giveaway for a lucky reader – a Land’s End coat! You can link to it here and enter to win for yourself!

poetry.

I enjoy poetry almost as much as reading or music. Some of favorites are Maya Angelou, Emily Dickinson & Robert Frost. But, below is my all time favorite poem; written by one of my all time favorite people, none other than my very own, Justin! He wrote it for me when we were in college and to this day it sits framed on my nightstand. So lovely, so sentimental.


A Smile

My trip to Seedskadee

Last week my class went to Seedskadee. Seedskadee is a wild animal refuge. It was fun! I hung out with my partner, Parker. We had A LOT of fun together! Here are some pictures that I took of the animal exhibits at the Seedskadee museum.

Already, Halloween seems like a lifetime ago. However, how can I not share some of our pictures from this holiday? These are from the Halloween Stroll that takes place in downtown Rock Springs every year. We went with our good friends, the Doaks, and had a great time! Enjoy!
