What I do if i'm not at work:

When I am not in my drab little corner of the office trying to find legitimate things to do for money, I find ways to have fun. Here are a few:
Emily came Friday night and went climbing with me, then Saturday we went to Lake Powell with Sheri, Doug, and their friends. Dont worry, it gets better- Sunday Jo, Carrie, and Carla and my new friend Nikaela from here came to visit, and Monday we hiked the SUBWAY, from the top down, which was fabulous.
CLIMBING
Emily and I, hanging out at chuckwalla.
If you want extreme harness sweat, climb in St gorge in August when the suns still out.
Here is Emily- gotta love climbing buddies!This picture needs no explanation...
LAKE POWELL
Rainbow Bridge at Lake Powell...cool eh?
MY cousin Ruston wakeboarding...i bet can do that just as good, you know...
Some silly looking rocks at Powell
SUBWAY HIKE
Jo eating Subway in the Subway... notice the neoprene socks and swimsuit outfit...
Carla got a little sketched out on some downclimbing
Dave, our friend we met in the ER, in a tight spot on a rappel
He told me this pool was waist deep. Oh SNAP! definitely over my head. swimming in stagnant water...mmm
The last rappel was down a waterfall, off this log...classic!
In the waterfall room
I wish my camera picked up the color in there... we are about to hit the 'subway' section
The crew, minus dave: Jo, Nikaela, Carrie, Me, Carla

I think I want to be 'Canyoneer Jo' for halloween this year...
Well, thats the freakin weekend and I had me some fun.

i think i want a canyoneer jo stomach for halloween. the subway is so pretty!!! so is lake powell! man i am really jealous of your travels right now! and yah you should really watch out for that stagnant water mare, i hope you didnt drink any, and i hope an amoeba didnt get in your ear. man vs wild man, bear grylls, said he heard of a man that died within 5 days of an amoeba in his ear. glad you have a new friend down there. i dreamed last night we drove to st george just to see you and surprise you and you had gone to lake powell so we had to turn around... it was sad.

Mare,

What a life!

I should have just gone... I knew I would be jealous every time I looked at your blog. Yes, I can take cameras in the wilderness. I just can't take pictures of any of the boys faces and I feel silly taking a bunch because it's my job, not a vacation...
