Still Here!

Just thought I would let everybody know I am still alive! It has been way too long... I have had a very crazy summer/semester which isn't the greatest excuse but hey, we'll try it! I am in Cedar in my (not so new anymore) townhome with some of my best friends which is so great! I am busier than ever in my life doing the working/college student/starting a company/staying sane/trying to have a life thing. And its still pretty good when I step back and look at it! The company I am trying to start up is my very own photography company. Last I was in Salt Lake my dad and I went out an he co-signed with me to get a very nice camera that I am loving!So look soon for my link I am trying to put together to show some of my work. It will be ranging from bridals to abstract photos so I am very excited! I am also very excited to go home for Thanksgiving this week! I sure need the break :)

Coming to an end

Wow, I thought I would be writing alot more than this but here I am in Costa Del Sol, Spain at my last Hotel! I guess I fould out how much there is to do when traveling in Europe. Its crazy! I have had such an amazing time. Between seeing insane ammounts of everything you can imagine from the beautiful hills of Tuscany to the run down streets of Morocco. Having nights that you can barley make it to your bed you are so tired and others that you can´t get enough of the world. From having incredible lifechanging experiences to some things you think you never want to happen again! Its all so amazing and I have learned so much! There are so many people in this world its hard to imagine but when you see just glimpses of it like I have it makes you think more about the kind of things you spend you time worrying about. We have so much to be thankful for! This sounds so cheesy but boy am I proud to be an American! If you haven´t already, everyone needs to experience this! You will not regret it.

So, I have been everywhere starting from London to Paris to Zuric to Venice to Florence to Barcelona to Madrid to Morocco to Costa Del Sol! And so many small cities in between. Its so weird to look back over all of them!

I love you all and can´t wait to see your familiar faces! I will post pictures when I get home!
Love Danielle in Spain!

Viaggiare

Well, here I am in a little city called Abano Terme just outside of Venice in Italy! I can't even begin to describe how beautiful it is here. I am in Italy! It feels so weird but so right at the same time. I wrote last in London I belive and have been to Paris, France and Lucerne, Switzerland since then! I am sorry I haven't wanted to spend much time on the computer as you can imagine. Also pardon the mis-spelled words but the keyboards are different and hard to get used to :) Well, I went on a little boat ride around the Effile Tower and to the top as well! It was an incredible view from there, you can see everything. After we left the Effile Tower we turned around to see it from a little farther out and right then they turned on these crackle lights all over the tower. it looked like there were fireworks all around it. it was awesome.
Lucerne has so far been myt favorite place. It was so beyond beautiful! I went to the top of Mt. Platius and that was amazing. the most beautiful place I have ever been. Here in Italy last night we went to a Sacra which is a town celebrtation. Oh my gosh it was so fun! We arte their food and interacted as much as we could with the people, we danced with for all of you that know me at all mae my whole trip complete! And I am only half way through! It was so fun. We danced the night away, and the Italian people were so wonderful. Well, I am off to Florence tommorrow and will keep you posted as much as I can!

Chow! Love Danielle Sue

The Journey

Cherio mates!(Thats what I hear all day!) The long awaited trip has arrived! I am sitting here in London in a internet cafe. I never thought I would actually say those words while I was sitting on the plane coming over. I leaft S.L.C. at 8 in the mourning on Tuesday and arivedhere in London about 7a.m. on Wenesday, now that was a long day! But now that I am here it is incredible. I love everything about this city. There are flowers everywhere which is my favorite detail so far. The food is so great. And the history packed in hereis unreal! The only thing that I haven'tliked so faris the exchange rate. They use puonds here and one pouund here is equal to one dollar, which makes everything double. Not to mention it is a tourist city so everything is expensive anyways! But thats ok, I can't complain cause I am in London!For those of you who are 'Friends' fans, picture Joey saying... 'London baby!'



Well, I have been learning an incredible ammount and having so much fun while doing it! Hopefuly I can takepart of the accents home with me which are so fun! Here is a breif list of what I have seen: The city of Bath and the baths as well, Stonehenge, Westminster Abby (Went to a service today), St. Pauls catherdrale (I climbed 435 stairs to get to the very top of the domb! It was amazing), The Globe theatre, Les Miserables and Phantom!, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Covent Gardens, Natonal Art Gallery and even more I can'tremember now! It has been amazing already and I am only 4 days into it! My next stop is Paris which we take the chunnel to tommorow. I am sad to leave London but I have so much more to see! Try to hold down the U.S.A. without me although i reealize it will be difficult:) I love you all and, Dad & Mom- Thank you so much for making this happen. Its even more than I am sure you could have hoped it would be for me.

Cheers!- Danielle Sue

This Peculiar thing called...

Well, I thought I would start this new thing called blogging. I figured that it would be especially good for those of you that like to keep track of your friend/niece/cousin/daughter Danielle, and even better when I go to Europe I will be posting here.
To catch some of you up, I am living in Cedar city Utah in a rental home with 6 other girls. Its actually not as bad as it sounds. We get along incredibly well under the circumstances that we are all female/very busy/are all having our own boy/family and school issues/and are all poor. But even with all that, I love it. My roommates are amazing and we have a blast. I am working at a pediatric office as a Medical Assistant and I absolutely love it. Aside from the fact that I get to interact with adorable kids, and the staff is the best, I also have some of the dirty work like giving those adorable kids shots and taking their blood. Oh well, welcome to medicine Danielle other than that my job is pretty much perfect. I am going to Southern Utah University where I am completing my pre-requisites to get me into the nursing program also here at SUU. It is a really good school, I am even enjoying English which if any of you know me well, is quite an accomplishment :)
Other than the general things there, today it hit me... I am an adult. When did that happen? What is this peculiar thing called being an adult? Yeah you hear since you are young that at 18 years old you are a legal adult but it doesn't really mean anything until you are paying rent and a car payment and buying groceries and working full time while going to school and making life changing decisions all while trying to stay sane... Once again, when did this happen? I guess I started becoming an adult when I moved out at 17. Technically though I am only 2/3 adult since my amazing father stills pays 1/2 my bills. Thanks again dad. Although being on your own does have its perks, I have my own car, I don't have a curfew, and I guess I could legally smoke if I really wanted to (don't worry dad, just found out I am allergic to cigarette smoke) But what happened to the old days when my biggest worry was that I had to clean my room, or that I didn't get invited to the most popular girls birthday party. I actually miss the early morning dance and even better the chores that would only take me 30 minutes top. Now my chores take me all day and into the next morning.
Oh to be a kid again...
