I am currently sitting in the salt lake city airport admiring the most beautiful mountains i have seen yet on my trip. Jen and I just spent a week in Vegas, staying with her aunt and uncle. what an amazing deal we had!! a free place to stay, rooms to ourselves, free food and drinks, our own private pool.... so much better than a hoteL! she even supplied our bathroom with a basket of brand new bath products, including (but not limited to!) ultra hydrating aloe socks. yeah. thats right, ultra hydrating socks. Anyway, flying into utah was magestic! Such amazing contrasts between mountains and land, water and desert...its crazy. theres snow caps on the mountain peaks which is beautiful. i feel like a little kid at christmas, getting so excited for everything that i see. We also went to the most wonderous canyon in nevada called red rock...the rocks were, well, bright red. i jacked one haha. i took a lot of pictures and cant wait to post.

today we are flying into san diego and renting a car and our cali trip begins. we're going to hit up the zoo tomorrow and the beach probably today. I cant wait to experience more great things.

but now, back onto a cramped plane
