Go Away Snow!

We made a trip to our favorite store today, REI! We went

to buy rain gear for backpacking trips because we had our dividend (if you don't know what I am talking about it is where you get so much money back from the things you purchased the previous year) and a gift card from my brother Alex and a 20% of coupon, YEAH! However, being at REI made me really anxious to get out and have an adventure, I am so sick of being shut up in my little cinder block bomb shelter (aka, my apartment).

Anyway so I was reflecting on the fact that it may come as a shock to some to see this once ballerina as a backpacker/camper, after all it is a well know fact that in my previous life I was (and still am to a point) a major priss. And then I thought many of you may not even believe me when I say I love to go backpacking. So thus the reason for the picture! This is Eric and I at the top of Kings Peak (13,528 Feet) last summer. I know we both look like total dorks but I love this picture because I never thought I would ever be able to climb the highest mountain in UT and it makes me feel like one tough cookie! We did this 30+ mile trip with Mel and Jim and had so much fun. With that all said I will never ever climb Kings Peak again! However, I am in desperate need of another adventure, any suggestions?
