Glacier National Park

Kelly and I took a vacation to Glacier National Park in Montana with my parents over my birthday. The week long vacation was just what we needed! We passed by the Testicle Festival in Rock Creek on our way there, but elected not to stop and "have a ball." Upon entering Grizzly Country we were beset upon by a multitude of signs such as:

We did see some grizzlies, but were too far away to get a good picture. Whew! Kelly, armed with a "Best Hikes of Glacier National Park" book became the tour guide. He was promptly demoted to "bear bait" after taking us on a 12 mile hike.

We had some close encounters with mountain goats, one huge hoary marmot and learned that dutch oven chili doesn't agree with Dad's or Kelly's digestive systems. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better birthday though!

Fall Semester 2007

I started my last semester of college at USU on Monday, August 28. My classes are as follows:

• Weeds (plus a Lab)


• Plants and Civilizations


• Senior Seminar


• Landscape Management (plus a Lab)


• Genetics

Weeds is going to be a very interesting class, albeit very time consuming. I despise genetics, as it is human genetics and isn't doing anything for me except bombing my GPA. Landscape is interesting, senior seminar is just an exit course and only once a week. Plants and Civilizations has the potential to be interesting, but as of yet is just basic review and is horrible boring.

14 weeks to Graduation!
