{And We're Off}

Finally. Tomorrow Scott and I are taking our first vacation of the summer, and it couldn't happen too soon. I need an intervention of sorts to help me relax and take a break from work. Thank goodness for Jackson Hole. We are so excited to go and spend the week with Scott's family. We go every year, and it is such a special place for me. This year I especially need the break. It has been an emotional summer for me (my heart is sad) and I need the time to actually start taking care of myself and find a little peace. I think I have stayed up past 2 am now for over 2 months. Scott thinks I am crazy. The late nights and cocoa puffs for dinner haven't left me feeling too peachy. I'm planning on reading, sleeping, reading, sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, and maybe a little hiking in-between. Usually Scott and I are all over the place, but this year being mellow is the itinerary.
Poor Oliver has to stay at home. We considered sneaking him into the condo, but thought maybe that wasn't the best. He is so cute right now, by the way. We finally got him into swimming and he loves it. It is funny to watch him dive for rocks.
So anyway, if you don't hear from me for awhile that is why. Have a great week! I hope to come back with lots of bear sighting stories. Close, but not too close, though. I love bears, but am super freaked out by them too. Did I ever tell you my greatest fear is to be eaten by a wild animal? Yeah, that would be worst.
