Mom, look!  I am squashing my evil plastic plants!

What?!  It doesn’t count if my butt’s still on the ground?!  No fair!

Spent the weekend near Asheville for my sister’s wedding.

I love that autumn weather is finally here.

The high-rope forest was a success - I did the three routes I had wanted to do, and I did not have a breakdown afterwards. It probably helped that M2 did not do the last route M3 and C did which was a very difficult one, so I had company and we talked while waiting for the other two to finish which was just nice and kept me from getting too up in my head about what I’d just done. There had been a few moments where I hadn’t been sure I could do it but I managed to get over it and continue. It was really lovely that my friends acknowledged that this wasn’t easy for me and told me I had the right to be proud of myself!

As great as the weekend has been, though, I’m so exhausted. I hate not having at least one day on the weekend where I can stay in and just relax - dance group and meeting friends is great but to some extent, for an introvert and homebody like me, it also requires a lot of energy. I wish the work week wouldn’t start tomorrow :(. And it’s a particularly busy one, too…

I have been missing this.  Hiking, climbing, laughing hard with friends. Enjoying the view. Breathing deep. Smiling at the sun. Feeling so grateful to be alive. Drinking beer at sunset. What else do we need ?

Tried to work on my balance today. Turns out I have non! Had some pretty amazing climbs though, I attempted a 6b which is way above my level but I got quite far and managed some darn good moves. At one point I turned to my boyfriend who was belaying me and said ‘Did you just see that? Did you just see that move I managed?’ 😂

last weekend.

what a treasured weekend this was. we opted to stay near town and i’m so glad we did – it ended up being a delightful mix of getting outside and having cozy time at home.

i ran eleven miles after work on friday and then passed a quiet evening at home with riley. after a slow saturday morning, i took advantage of REI’s clearance sale to buy ski boots [!!] and then we went climbing at north table mountain outside of golden. it was a challenging [read: fun] day on the wall for both of us. that night we saw mipso play at a little spot near our house – a comforting taste of home. it began snowing late saturday night and continued into sunday. we went to eldorado canyon, up near boulder, for the first snow hike of the season. it was a magical setting and i loved the peaceful time with john + riley.
