A day NOT FORGOTTEN.

It's been 8 years since that unforgettable day...

I was a junior in High School. Entering my first year into Criminal Justice. It was the 3rd day of school. When our principal came into our classroom and pulled our 48 person class into his tiny office. Every one of us stared at the TV, not one of us said a word.

On 9/14/01, my dad and a group of men from our local fire departments made a 5 day trip to NYC to help clean the wreckage. It saddens me that the human race is capable of such hate, but it makes me so proud that so many more of us have such big hearts.

Here's to a day we will never forget....

All little time in the great outdoors..

So we got spunky and wanted to take a day out of the weekend and go for a hike. Lucky for us Grays Peak is pretty close so we piled into Pauls truck and headed out on a Sunday Morning. Paul was already excited because I agreed to take his truck, but as we were driving up the trail people started asking if we had room for more. You should have seen the smile on Pauls face. He was so excited to first get the chance to offroad and second that he looked so cool going up the trail that people actually wanted to get in! Off roading makes me nervous on parts like this so I got out of the truck, halfway to a heart attack, and took some pictures of Paul doing all the fun stuff.

We ended up sleeping in a little too late so we didn't get to the trailhead until around 8 or 9AM. By the time we were reaching the top it was soooo windy! Right through your clothes windy!

And can you believe it.. Middle of August and we're having a snowball fight.. I won by the way, I always win.. Just kidding.

I think Pauls favorite parts of all this camping and hiking is that he gets to use his GPS, and his gear, not to mention bouncing up and down the trail in his truck.

My favorite part is it's not about being Glamorous. Hopefully next time we'll wake up in time and climb both Grays and Torreys!
