This is long for me. Ha ha.




I finally got a much needed haircut! I know that when I say that people automatically think that I cut all my hair off like I normally do, but you can breathe easy becuase I didn't. I have been just letting my hair grow since the beginning of the year and it was just getting very shaggy. It needed to be cleaned up, so I got in trimmed and evened out and stuff. I actually do like my slightly longer hair though. I'm not sure how long it will last, but for the time being I am happy with it. I'm definitely not growing it out long, but maybe it won't be super super short for a while. It's a nice change.

Jackson, WY. Weirdest town ever.

Have you ever been to Jackson? It's so weird! And in the middle of nowhere. Not a place I would ever want to live, but it was actually kind of cool to go visit. My best friend for the summer, Brady, and I went there for the weekend. (His best friend is gone and so is mine so we are being best friends for the summer so life doesn't suck so much. Ha ha.) His sister is living there for the summer, so we went to visit her. While we were there, it was Elk Fest. Never have I seen so many antlers in my life! So there is an elk refuge there and apparently all the boy scouts go out and collect all the antlers that the elk shed every year and then auction them off. The scouts then get a portion of the proceeds. Those must be some seriously rich scouts! I just don't even understand what people want antlers for, especially when they didn't even kill the animal themselves. I don't get it, but I swear the whole town of Jackson was in the little town square to see it. Overall I had a lot of fun hanging out with Brady and his sister and brother-in-law. And I got to see some elk, moose, and a beaver! We also drove out and saw some beautiful scenery. It was nice to go somewhere new for a little bit. Here's some pictures of some things I saw.

Yes, this arch is made out of antlers.

I absolutely love this picture of Brady!

This is just a sample of the amount of antlers that were at Elk Fest. Check out those truck loads in the background!

Tetons. Gorgeous.

This is a beautiful frozen lake that we drove out to. I love it!
