Steamboat geyser. This geyser would just randomly shoot water up out of the ground.

In Yellowstone National Park *September 2009
You could literally hear this mountain. Hence the name roaring mountain ! LOL
In Yellowstone National Park *September 2009
There were quite a few falls throughout the park. Also had some really pretty streams. The water there was so clear and pure. Made you think what our water SHOULD look like ! LOL

Taken at Mammoth Hot springs. These things were very hot! At places steam would pour from them. The white stuff is from it being so hot.

These pictures were taken our first day in the park. They were taken at Mammoth hot springs.
Entering Yellowstone National Park *9/2009
Chad with his morning coffee.
These pictures were taken at the Montanna entrace into Yellowstone National Park. A small portion of the park is located in Montanna. Most of the park is in Wyomming though.
Camping right outside of Yellowstone
Our campsite with the campers we shared it with. ( The next morning )
The sky that night......pitch black !
Our view
Doing school work
The campground became very full that night. We had the biggest site in the campground. I really wanted this site but it was secluded from everyone else. That's what I liked about it. For that very reason Gene didn't want it ! LOL Might have been the reason it wasn't taken when we got there too ! Gene thought we should be near people in case animals tried to come in our campsite. I felt like we should take this one and prayed a quick prayer. Gene then took this one for us ! I was happy :) Later on Gene and I were even more happy we had this site. The campground became full and we watched people drive in and out again. It was late and getting darker and darker. We ended up flagging two different couples down throughout the evening to tell them we would share our campsite with them. They were so relieved and grateful. The first couple with their camper said they had been driving hours and over 100 miles all around just trying to find a campsite. All the campgrounds in Yellowstone were full along with all the rest in or near the town. The second couple was a young couple that came in after we were already getting settled in our "bed" for the night. Gene put on his shoes and ran out to the road to get them as they were driving out. They also were very happy. They didn't even get a chance to eat supper yet ! They had to pitch their tent plus make supper. Gene restarted a fire for them as they put up their tent. We both fell asleep that night feeling very happy that we could help others out. With the situation we have been in for the past year we often feel as if we do not get to help others as much as we would like. This gave us a chance to share with what we did have :)
Camping right outside of Yellowstone
We camped here the night before we went into Yellowstone National Park. This site was located in a honor system campground. The campground was located up a higher mountain overlooking a small town. The town survived only because of Yellowstone tourist. I was very glad we were sleeping in our van and not a tent ! I woke up constantly throughout the night in fear of the bears but definitely felt a lot safer in our van then I would have felt behind a cloth wall ! LOL The town was really full of tourist. We were told that it was unusual for this time of year. Most hotels and campgrounds were completely booked ! In fact the next night we came back out of the park to camp here but the campground was full. We thought we had gotten there plenty early but others beat us.
Last day of September 2009
I just realized today is the last day in September. Where do the days go ? I have a lot of work cut out for me tonight if I want to get the rest of those pictures posted in September !
WE have been making some "life changing " decisions the past few days. Eugene felt like the Lord has shared some things with him. A while ago I had a dream in which I know the Lord was telling me some things but wasn't sure all what it meant. Well, I have decided I will come along Gene and support him in his decisions. That was one huge part of the dream I had. So the biggest decision he has made ...... we are moving back to Pa. ( Unless God does something HUGE by tomorrow ) haha Actually I think God is about to do something huge for us...... even if it is in Pa. We are taking some big steps of faith. Even bigger then the ones we have already made. I know though, that God will be with us every step of the way. He will show himself faithful. Pray that I will be able to consistently pray and lift up my husband on a daily basis. I want to be the wife God is asking me to be. I know I am being called to support him and his decisions in prayer.
Blessings,

Therapy Session :)
So I am taking to the keyboard for a little therapy. I have had a rough 2 days. I feel drained. I was positive Gene had a job. It would have been a big pay cut but it was a job ! The job was said to be his. We were at first confused by it but then became excited. As a family we so desire normalcy. We prayed that if for any reason it was not what God wanted that he would intervene and cause the job to be no longer his. Arhhhh ! That is exactly what happened. I have been asking God for a job and home. Yet I don't want 3rd or even 2nd best because I am not patient enough for God's first choice for us. Eugene told me today in church he really felt God tell him that He is asking him to step out in more faith then he has yet ! That was scary....... I already feel like we have stepped out in ton's of faith ! How much more ? LOL
Please pray for me as the past 2 days I have been really discouraged. I know God must have exciting things in store for us if he asking us to step out in more faith........but along with the excitement there is also some fear. I believe my husband is about to take some big steps. Pray that I can follow in faith and be the praying supporting wife God wants me to be.
Getting caught up........
I wanted to quick write and let you know that the last few days of September I am gonna be posting a ton of pictures ! I need to get caught up on all our travels in the month of September. I want the pictures from that month to be under the same month in my blog. Just wanted to pre warn you ! :)
Happy Sunday to you all and remember to take some time to rest today.
Blessings,
Stacy
