'and when I'm lonely, I can't help but think you are lonely for me too.'

Lots and lots

ALL I feel like I have been doing lately is shooting pictures. Not that its a bad thing, but I'm trying to make sure I'm not exhausting that creativity. Not much on the climbing front except for the fact that I have been training harder than ever for Hueco Tanks, TX this Christmas.


but without futher adieu, some recent shots: A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO TOOK TIME TO LET ME SHOOT PICTURES OF THEM :)

a new part of my life

Recently I adopted a dog. Her name is Vedauwoo and she is probably one of the best, most complicated and wonderful choices I have ever made in my life. The reactions that I got when I told people I was getting a dog were less than enthusiastic. And they were mostly from people who I thought supported me the most. However, it made me realize that my choice was making me happy and in life you will never please everyone. The most you can do is make sure you are happy and hope that other people are happy for you.

Veda is definitely still a puppy. My things are now divided into 3 piles: very chewed, only kind of chewed, and saved from the puppy. Thats ok though. Its all part of the experience.

Now that I am all moved into the house in Laramie, I am learning all sorts of good life skills. Things like shopping for food for myself, how to live with multiple other people who were all raised differently, how to get someone un-stuck from the attic and how to crawl through the window when you're locked out of your room. All great things to know.

Anyways, sorry the posts have been so delayed- its been very chaotic lately. Hopefully soon I will be able to update on a regular basis.

wholeheartedly

things that I have done today that I feel are worth mentioning:

I woke up in a beautiful house alone and made a huge breakfast for myself while listening to great music.

I finally got two of the teachers from the class I belay for to climb the entire wall which I can imagine, if you don't climb, is very scary.

I layed on warm pavement after it rained and got to see the cold rain mist off the road.

I jumped in puddles and got mud between my toes.

I played guitar for hours and was taught a couple more chords.

I had a wonderful and eye opening conversation about life, religion, the war, and its after effects with a new friend.

I feel like that conversation taught me a lot about life and the way I live.

I haven't been sleeping lately, a lot has been on my mind. I feel like lately people don't believe in me which makes me doubt myself and what I can do. Just keep remembering that only you know yourself best. Who can judge you if they haven't experienced the same thing at the exact same time? no one.
