Time passes way too fast. I can't believe it's September, and Mom's been gone six months. Pretty soon, the year will be over, and it feels like it just started. I love that it's getting darker earlier, though, as well as cooler. I used to say winter was my favorite season, but I think I enjoy fall more.
On Monday, Sean and I returned from
Capitol Reef National Park. My family usually stays at
Thousand Lakes RV Park over Labor Day weekend every year, and we estimated we've visited this particular campground for more than 15 years. Below is a picture (stolen from my sister Jill) of the view behind the park:
And here's a picture of Mom and I the first time, I believe, we visited Capitol Reef:

Sean, my brother James and his wife Heather, my brother-in-law Daren, and I hiked Sulphur Creek, my favorite place in Capitol Reef.
This article does a good job explaining why. Everyone seemed to have a good time.
Before the trip, I received a call from my Big Brothers Big Sisters Match Support Specialist. He had bad news. My Little Brother's grandma asked for the match to be closed because she expected someone to play sports with him more often. I can understand that, but what I can't understand is why she didn't give me the opportunity to change. I'm disappointed, of course, and I'm sure it'll be a long time before I'm matched again.
Well, it's late, and Sean's pestering me to come to bed (what else is new?), so hopefully, I'll update again soon. I feel like I don't even scratch the surface of everything that has happened between posts, but it's hard to find time to write. I'm still trying to update every week, though, but you can see how well I'm doing...
Good night!
