Long Overdue Like a Birthday Card

Soooo, a lot has happened since I acquired my awesome TMNT pj's back in August. I got a job at The Living Planet Aquarium, which involves me going around to all of the elementary schools and teaching the fourth graders about the water cycle. Although it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, it has some neat benefits. Because the job is with the schools, I get federal holidays off and I get the summers off too. yep, no working during the summer for Jekka. I can hike to my hearts content, and maybe even take a trip to the aquarium in Atlanta.

Why Atlanta? They have whale sharks. ^_^

I summited Mt. Nebo, which is the tallest mountain along the Wasatch front. Here's a couple pictures of that.This is the ridge that takes you to the false summit. The real summit is only 10 feet from that, and this next picture is of me sitting on it. It was one of the biggest accomplishments of my life.
But that's not all!! The unbelievable also happened!!! Check out THESE pictures.....
That's right, my family and I...WE MET DREAM THEATER!!! They came to SLC for a concert last month, and afterwards we noticed a small group of people hanging around some tour buses in the back. So we wandered over there, waited for almost an hour and THEN THE BAND CAME OUT!!! It was like an unexpected dream come true, an item that I didn't consider for my bucket list because I didn't think it would happen. But it did!! I got the signatures of all of the band members on my Train of Thought shirt, which is white so you can see them really good.

Also in September, Kamelot came to SLC and so Mom, Dad, Chris and I went to that. It was loads of fun, but we didn't get to meet the band. And next month, Fair to Midland is coming to Utah!!! yeah, I'm stoked! December 9!!

So, that's the most exciting stuff that has happened. My goats are doing fine. I don't get to see them very much because of work. Lord Byron is behaving himself too. Thank goodness.

Er, yeah, that's about all. Toodles!
