Updates Abound...

Ya'll. What's kickin? Just got back from Saint George and Zion, UT. Let me tell you, Zion is a sick place that everybody who ever liked or likes nature, should go. Be sure to check out my photos online! (http://picasaweb.google.com/aldsmith3/SaintGeorgeZion#)

Otherwise, for those not in the know (my bad), I have taken an assistantship with Appalachian State University as a residence director (RD). I will be working towards my graduate degree in College Student Development (possibly with a concentration in Outdoor Program Administration). I am excited and nervous for my transition as well as move back across the country. I see life as dynamic and I find myself excited for the challenges and new perspectives ahead. All in all it will be good and I know I'll look back on my time here in Gunny and in Boone, NC as allllll good :[]

Hope ya'll are well. I apologize if my prose reaches many of you before my voice over the phone. Know I care and wonder about you all in some way or another. Get a hold of me if you think of it. Catch ya soon...

Welp...

Tis official ya'll. I'm headed to Boone, North Carolina starting July 26ish for a 2-year stint at Appalachian State University. I will be studying College Student Development with a possible emphasis in Outdoor Program Administration. I am excited to finally be pursuing my graduate degree. I will be sad to leave Gunnison. So much has happened here to me and my life. I have learned much and will never forget the people, places, etc. Look for a more detailed and in-depth synopsis on my life here in Gunnison before I leave this July.

Thanks for the continued support. Love ya'll.
