I seem to be drawn to exciting/adventurous/crazy ideas

Let me explain. I was chillin in class yesterday when the teacher introduced a guy from Alaska Coach Tours who is here on campus recruiting people. They are looking for people to go to Alaska for the summer and be a Driver/Guide for their company. Their employees drive a 50 seater bus around Juneau, Ketchikan, or Skagway showing tourists the glaciers (usually people from cruise ships, like what Mom and Dad did). It sounds really exciting to me (though driving that big of a bus scares me a little...ok, a lot!) and I'm seriously considering going. 

I've only had one other recruiter come to a class of mine and that lead to the awesome adventure I had at Disney World, so it was exciting to hear another presentation. (And it's a great distraction from actually having to learn something ;) ) The only thing that has been keeping me from becoming totally committed to the idea is all the family stuff I'll miss. Nate's coming home from his mission, Rachel's having a baby, Robby and Jenny are heading to New Zealand (of all places!), and I'm sure there's other fun stuff as well. But I've decided to apply anyway and see where things lead. If they don't accept my application, then there's no reason to stress, but if they do then I'll have to make a hard decision. Right now, I'm trying to not think about it lol, it'll only drive me crazy.

I have an interview today at 3:30. I'll let y'all know how it goes!

Um, Katie? You get to travel around Alaska for a whole summer!? And they're going to pay you for it?!? And you're considering not going!?!? GO!! You can see Nate later, and Rachel's baby will look just like Shelly or Jason. And you can come visit Jenny and I (and who's kidding, the kids, who you really care about) in New Zealand any time you want. Alaska's calling. And they have moose.
