Update On Life

Things have been going well, but not necessarily as planned. I had hoped to have a job lined up by now, but it has not proved to be that easy. So the job hunt continues. In the meantime I am finsihing up my internship with Pierced, which has been a great hands on experience that I wouldn't trade for anything else. Other than that I have been using my free time to get out into the great outdoors of Colorado. I have spent many days recently climbing, moutain biking, and just being outside. On Thursday Levi and I are going to attempt to rope in and climb Crestone Needle in preparation for Long's Peak. This will be challenging and hopefully an experience in which I learn lots about mountaineering.

I think reading 'Into the Thin Air' has inspired me try out mountaineering more. It even gives me hope that mountains like Everest are attainable. That does not mean that I would attempt such a feat, but it makes me wonder. I still havent finished the book. I know that the end of the book may change my outlook once again. It has at least helped me to admire even more those who try and accomplish such dreams.
