the good and the bad

the good:
no blackberry, no laptop, no voicemail
no yard work or house work
no coco
spending time with family
four whole days with mike
enjoying the beauty of nature :)
relaxing, reading, and writing
canoeing and hiking

the bad:
BEARS
sleeping in a tent
cold and wet weather, while sleeping in a tent
no shower
dirt under my fingernails
mud everywhere
camping
spending time with family
packing for a camping trip...i have no idea what to take??

i am not a camper. i am freaked out that a bear might eat me. i hope it doesn't rain all weekend, but most of all, i hope we survive my first camping trip since i was....12. please pray we don't die in the tetons this weekend.

No BEAR is going to eat you while you are sleeping in OUR tent.
There are showers there, you can take one if ya want cause I plan on it just maybe the 3rd day, ha! I hope you didn't jinx it by saying the weather is going to be bad and if you did....i'm throwin' ya in the lake! :P
You will be just fine...no worries.
I'm excited! YAY!!

You'll be fine, I promise!! My advice to pack is: games, flashlight, sleeping pills, warm clothes, hoodies, a few great books, and a comfy pillow! I have decided the key to camping is Tylenol PM...you don't hear any of the scary noises outside your tent!
