Yosemite National Park may be one of the most beautiful places I have ever had the pleasure of visiting.  I have been here since Tuesday, taking a few days for vacation before working the weekend with my team.  We did some hiking on Wednesday and Thursday, seeing three different areas of the park.  I was stunned by the differences between the areas we visited, you would never know they were all part of the same park if you didn't see it on a map.  I have many pictures and it will likely be a long time until I can get through them all – a little thing called my brother's wedding is coming up next week.

I'm sitting here in my hotel room and I am feeling quite emotional.  The topics vary widely: my team, the beauty of nature, my work/travel schedule, the upcoming wedding and family time.  I feel totally unprepared for the wedding stuff – I'm in charge of the bachelorette party and have a reading in the wedding, along with a speech as the maid of honor.  I have been little help the last two months due to a hectic schedule.  The plane ride home will hopefully be productive. 

I am excited for my hikers who have their event day tomorrow.  The ending of the season is always bittersweet, as it is a time of celebration and also farewells.  Hopefully many will come back to the team or at least stay in touch, if not, we’ll always have Yosemite. 

I must head out and decorate some doors, so until later…Ciao.
