All of the time, I just feel like I'm about to zonk out at any moment. And that kind of sucks because, I don't take naps--don't really believe in them. I kind of think of them as a waste of time. And it also sucks because I'm just going to have to wake up even earlier tomorrow than usual. :/ It's worth it, but still...I'm going to be sooooo sleepy.
And also, may I just say that, when I moved to Wyoming, I knew that it was a lot windier here than other places. But seriously, it seems like we have been having non-stop violent wind storms for the last week and a half. I guess this just comes with further adjusting to my new surroundings, but where I lived before, it was already getting warmer and sunny for spring.
Here, I actually walked outside the other day and thought, "This isn't so bad. Maybe Spring is on the way...it's nice and sunny and just a little breezy." Then I was assaulted by a huge rush of glacial air, and practically ran the rest of the way to my car going, "Never mind.It's cold."
I still love it here, though. And I can't imagine myself living anywhere else. Everytime I look out my window and see those wide open prairies with the majestic mountains in the distance, or I walk by a pine tree and hear the distinct and beautiful/refreshing sound of wind blowing through the fine needles, I just can't help but contentedly sigh with the knowledge that I am right where God wants me to be, location wise.
I have a lot of people from back East who either don't know where Wyoming is at all, or else just tease me about it and say, "Wyoming?Is that even a state?Seriously, there's nothing there.Why would anyone willingly live there?" I understand that there are some people who just prefer to live in a big city or something like that, so they might not like it as much. But I grew up here, I have tons of memories here, I still have friends I love dearly who live here, and I've known for a long time that I wanted to come back and settle down in this area. Truthfully, I'm willing to bet that most people who tease me about living in Wyoming have never been here in their life--undoubtedly never even bothered to look up some pictures of what it looks like.
Why would you not want to live here?
It's so beautiful, and refreshing. It's full of history, and besides the ocean, the mountains and prairies of this area are where I can go and feel closest to my Creator.I love my life here, and wouldn't have it any other way (except maybe not having to go to school.That would be a welcome change). :)
Isaiah 55:12
"You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; and the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands."
Psalm 19:1-6
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world."
Isaiah 40:8
"The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our Lord shall stand forever."
