Zion

This past week has really been a crazy ride, one that is still not really over. After my whole unexpected trip to Nashville, I made it back to St. George, UT (eventually). When I got there, I was greeted by the Steven's and their granddaughter, Tori. That evening, Tori and I went to a movie, and then the next day we went hiking at Zion National Park. I didn't have a camera, so, Tori took some photos for us. Here's a sweet pic neither one of us took:

Needless to say, the park is amazing. We went on the Weeping Rock Trail and the Hidden Canyon Trail. And, because we went pretty early, we missed the masses of people on the shuttle and trails. Although, on our way back down, we made some friends and gave encouragement to parents who were dragging their children up the mountain side.

Then, before returning to Provo/Alpine for Ryan Stewart's reception, Brother Stevens and I read over my 5-year plan and set a new weekly time schedule. There is something empowering about planning what you are going to do (almost to the minute). I have to admit, this is still a relatively new thing to me (first time was this time last year), but I enjoy looking at my time objectively, instead of on a whim. Planning my time really helps to put perspective on goals--and that's the key, really. Set goals, then use those goals to help you plan the most effective use of your time. Pretty awesome if you ask me.
