Wagon Wheel

I think my mind is starting to unwind from lack of sleep, hair chemicals, reflecting on my past and my lost future that I was looking forward to for so long.  How do just let go of something that was supposed to last an eternity?  I made a covenant for eternity.  Now, I'm just expected to move on.  It's still really hard- even 15 months later.

Beautiful scenery.

LDS church cabin

Tooth of Time

The entirety of the Philmont Training Center and camp

The "Steves" of the Handicraft lodge

Teaching campers to throw a hatchet to a 'cookie' target.
We all became very proficient at it.

Trust me with a lasso??

.... well you shouldn't!!

or this kid!

RUN!

It was like living in Heaven on Earth.

If I had to imagine what life would be like in Heaven- Philmont would be it.  Everyone had a duty, all expenses and everything were covered- just do your job and have fun.  It was such an amazing experience.  It was this that I think screwed up our expectations for real life.  Not everyone's life can be this simple.  When Steven and I returned to 'real' life everything was different and changed.
