Okay So It's Been Awhile....

Hello People!

I hope you're doing well. Today I am just going to write and tell you what's going on! I am happy and well. Life is good. More than good. Life is excruciatingly FUN!! This little chapter--nearly 4 months in Salt Lake City--has been a complete blast. My life is full of friends, fun, and a job I love! If we indeed do weave life tapestries, this piece of mine would be beautiful--splashes of vivid color interwoven with the green of nature's glory and the silver of clarity.

So, I was offered a full-time paid internship at the LDS Church Archives on Temple Square. After much deliberation, I decided to accept it and I am soooo GLAD I did! I love it! I think I could be happy doing exactly what I am doing for a very long time. What do I do, you ask? Well, I work with the Archives' massive photograph collection! We are in the process of digitizing images so that we can eventually have them available online. I also spend a portion of my time doing little research projects for patrons/scholars/media people, which I enjoy immensely. I get to learn about many different things! My co-workers are fab and I consider it a real honor to work for the Church. I will work in this position until the middle of October.

The Book: Well, tis true sweet lil Ruth May Fox has been neglected due to my new job and explosively exciting, constant, ceaselessly fun social opportunities! But, we are recommitted to each other and right after I am done writing this, off I'll go to work on my book! I have set a new deadline of December 31.

Well, I suppose that's really all! Oh! I am going to Alaska in August 14-21! A friend of mind presented me with a deal too sweet to pass up and we're going together! I've been aching to go for ages--ever since reading Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild--I just can't seem to drink in enough wilderness---I am constantly thirsty for tall trees, big mountains, and wide stretches of uninhabited earth. Alaska will be the perfect place for saturation. I am most looking forward to visiting Denali National Park and camping in the wilderness!

Also, Ted Willmoth is visiting from England August 6-12! He will join all of us down at our B&B for a week. It should be a nice, relaxing episode.

Okay. That's all!!

Bye Bye!
