Excitement

  

     My Adventure starts in 10 days, wow, I cant wait it seems like this process has taken years to accomplish. I am so anxious on getting to Alaska I decided to pitch a tent in the back yard for a few days if not till I leave. I say that I an excited to leave but my heart feels sad for the fact that I am leaving my family and my best friend of the past 10 years. His name is Otis our family dog. He has been there for me when nobody else was, you can tell him anything and you always know that he wont go run off and tell the world. As my trip grows closer I keep asking God if this is truly what he wants from me and if so then I am all for it, just help me when I feel sad for not being close to the people I love. I had my garage sale this past weekend and it was kind of a let down.My mom and I were both selling things for her to spring clean and for me to make a few extra bucks before I leave. My mom made great money, one lady bought almost all her old clothing and others bought the other junk while my stuff just sat there. I'm not going to get upset because if I had only made one dollar that's one more that I didn't have. We had our garage sale at one of my parents friends house and after wards I asked them if they wanted to come out to the house as a thank you dinner. They decided to come and I cooked one of my favorite meals to cook fajitas made with skirt steak and chicken.Yum. As I sit out side I thank Jesus for all the gifts He gave us, the birds flying in the beautiful blue sky, the cool air rushing through the valley, and the wonderful mountain views.

This is Otis being a good boy coming to me when I called him.

   So last night didn't work out as planned I thought it would be nice for Otis and I to camp out. Well everything was great for the first few hours, I had brought my computer outside that way we could watch a movie and hang out before we went to sleep. We watch a few movies then started to settle in when he started to hear things moving around. Its never good to hear things moving around at night because we have black bears and mountain lions roaming around. I figured that it wasn't anything to be worried about so I tried to fall asleep but every few minutes he would lift his head and start to half cry half whimper. So I decided to get up and show him that there wasn't anything to be scared of. We went back in to the tent and started to fall asleep and he started his whining again, I knew that I would not get any sleep if he was going to be doing this all night so we went inside for the night. I plan to camp out there tonight myself and I am sure that I wont be woken up by my buddies whimpers poor fella. All in all it was fun to have him in there with me since I am leaving in a few days and wont be able to take him with me like I want.
