So, I haven't posted for a long time. That's because my life is basically boring. I work nonstop. That's about it.
What's this post about then you wonder? Hmm... Should I tell you? What could be exciting enough to make me write a post? Could it be a movie? Or a date? Or could it be a rattlesnake? Well folks, it's the latter. I foolishly went hiking on the zigzag trail by myself without a hiking stick or first aid equipment. I had a lovely hike up, though it was quite hot. I enjoyed some nice solitude at the top and read my scriptures and wrote in my journal a bit. I even saw a deer. Then I started back down. About halfway down, I was strolling along and feeling great from the endorphins. Suddenly, I turned a corner and to my left I heard a rattlesnake!! That was the first time I've ever seen one in real life. I immediately stopped and backed up about ten feet, so I could still see it. I pulled out my phone and called my mom. She talked me through throwing rocks at it until it moved away. I was so scared it would bite me. I kept making noise and throwing rocks. I backed up some more because I thought it would come closer to me. Finally, I thought it had moved far enough away it couldn't reach me if I ran past it. So I did just that. I ran past it. I stayed on the phone until Kenny and Hayden met me (Kenny and Morgan had been at my house and they came up to get me when they heard I was stuck). We went the rest of the way down playing Journey on my phone. We got home just before dark. It was a scary experience, and don't worry, Kenny chewed me out for hiking alone.
