This has been one of my dreams for the past...2.5 years. Ever since I was a 4th grade teacher and my science unit was on habitats. Well, turns out, wetlands are one of the three top habitats in Utah, and I thought it'd be SO cool if I actually went to a wetland and brought back some stuff for my students--pictures, plants, etc. Well, my dream finally realized itself this past week. The canoe part didn't work because someone had reserved all the canoes, but my friend Aaron has a sail board and an inner tube, and that worked out just as well!

| Yes, I just came from UNDER that fence. It had barbed wire. I was terrified, but I made it under. |
Picture this: birds chirping, carp nearly jumping out of the water as they feed at the surface, and a sunset setting over the distant mountains, casting it's light on our little wetland. The reflection was absolutely gorgeous. Ah, I love wetlands!
My dollar today goes to my first kickstarter campaign. Surprisingly enough, it is hard to find a charity who will take my dollar. Many of their minimum donations is $10. Well, a dollar may not be much, but it's as much as this "starving college student" can afford...so I'll find someone who WILL take my dollar. It took a lot of exploration on kickstarter to find a cause that I believed in, but I found one. It's called Thoughts From A Mother of 10. This mom has already written the book but now it's time for it to be published. She hopes it will helps others find their inspiration in parenting.

That picture of you in the tube is adorable!
