getting the goods and the realization of leaving...

i realized last night that i'm going away for a pretty LONG TIME....
it's like co-op all over again. i need to pack like i'm not coming back...
pretty intense for a little while there, but it's all part of the excitement.

i've been ordering a few necessary items- things i don't have yet, like hiking pants, new camera and
i attached a photo of the new tent below....

Ok, a little nerve racking, but, once i get excited, it's hard to hold me back.... i like to make decisions and GO!

so, this should be good.

and being outside.. fresh air... seeing this great country.. :) it's really pretty ridiculously amazing.

One thing, Erin, my co- worker at A&F, reminded me that there are tons of Bears in Yosemite!

But, never fear, after her warnings, I've read up on all of the things you're supposed to do if a Bear approaches.... and she also took the liberty of sending me all these scary publications to read, so that I can become especially paranoid. :)

here they are for your reading enjoyment:

also, here is a little picture Sandy, another coworker of mine had at her desk:

really made me smile.
and you can google "haters gonna hate" and find all kinds of funny stuff.
also, Sandy was quick to point out that he's wearing little socks.. :)

Ok, well, signing off for now.
Love,
Jenny
