Have you ever been someplace so amazing that no matter what happens you are still happy and never want to leave? Last night i was up in the tetons, planning on hiking with sven and my buddy Meg. We got planned on hiking all night to summit the jaw, but we were tired, started at 11 pm, and kept getting kind of lost. We kept passing the dicreet trail that shot off of the main one. so then we find it, and start hiking up. I am feeling the burn, my heart rate is getting up and i am switching into climbing mode for the next few hours. Feels good- its been a while. But then sven stops suddenly and announces the presence of a large animal up ahead. Well, move. No. we talk to it, holler at it, it never leaves. We figure out that its a bear. TO hike on would be stupid, because, since it is dark and we only have headlamps, we are not sure how many others there are or how big this one is exactly. We didnt want to run into any cubs or anything like that. So we wait for a while and weigh our options, finally deciding on decending. Thats okay with me because i am BEAT! i really wanted to summit but maybe some other day, and All of this didnt bother me, because i LOVE the tetons. The sky was so full of star- they were bright and there were jsut so many of them! I kept wanting to just lay down and stare at them, but even looking up would make me trip over the rocks and roots on the trail. I was in heaven though. Well, long story short, we fell asleep in my car until 6 am and then went climbing at rodeo wall near the hoback to make up for last night. We had some pretty fun climbs- a 5-9 + and a 5-10 C (that one was the tough one- with a crazy overhang that was fun...then we raced home so i could get to class by 12:30...rough day. anyhoo so i am going to alaska on THURSDAY!!! AHHHHH!!!! i am so excited!!! i am leaving in TWO days!!! i havent been for two years and its going to be SWEET! well i gotta go to my football game!! see ya

hey mare, that would probebly be fine, we have an extra bedroom, one of you would like have to sleep on the couch or lovesac, bc of of our bedrooms we changed to an office, with just an arc instead of wall and door, and the other went to workout room with the bowflex thing, so theres one extra. amos might be coming down too, but since aud and mom are moving down next month it should be fine, cause theres always their place, just a few blocks away. so how serious is this anasasi thing going? i talked to uncle kelly and he's heard of it. anyways, call when you get to alaska. it reminds me of when heidi and anna or was it heidi and jenae who picked us up, i think heidi and anna and me and you did the sling shot. that was fun. enjoy it for me!!! Awwwh! i wish i was joining you! its 115 down here and our air wont work because our car keeps overheating, and no cold water during the day from a tap , its just too hot outside! is that wierd or what?
