This Little Light: April 2011

The BEST Vacation!

We Took a vacation to visit Lynne and Steve and get out of the wind and cold for a while. I LOVED LOVED LOVED the weather. It felt so good to walk around in shorts and sandals again. It was nice to have to use sunscreen for a change and we had a fun time climbing, eating, watching conference, exploring new canyons, relaxing, and being with family. Although Daniel got a kidney stone while we were on the trip we were still able to get out and have fun for most of the trip. Poor guy was out of commission for most of Sunday and Monday in a lot of pain. :( Good thing nurse Lynne was there to take care of him. Lynne and Steve were so good to us while we were there. One of the favorite parts of the trip was just sitting around and talking to them while we grilled up dinner.

Steve and Lynne took us to Red Cliff Park (I think that is what is was called) But it was a fun slot canyon we could hike up through the water in. It was very beautiful and a good way to end the trip.

Now I know where Daniel gets his climbing blood from.

Beautiful Lynne was so fun to have on the hike. I love how she appreciates all the beauty's of the earth.

So there is Rock Climbing in Rock Springs!

So we got a little desperate to rock climb out side and discovered that if you look hard enough you may just get lucky. After our First climb I was not to impressed after climbing through rats nest that had random bones in it and have 3 holds pop off. But then we found it the new project. It was a awesome off with crack and was bolted for some of it. I guess someone else became as desperate as we were.

Our First Visitors to Rock Springs!

We have been in Rock Springs almost 6 months and now that the winter is coming to an end and the roads our open I have been counting down the days until our first visitors came. We will just say Steve and Lynne were welcomed with desperate and welcoming arms. We had a fun time celebrating there B days. But they brought us the best gift of all... A NEW BED.

Daniel and I have been sleeping on a double bed. I like being close to him but after a few elbows to the head I was ready for my QUEEN SIZE PILLOW TOP BED. Granny Francom had left behind a detailed list of what was to go to who when she passed... and I am grateful to Granny Francom every night I lay in bed for passing on her bed... even if we got it through default. Love you and Miss you Granny Francom.

The Birthday Boy!

Daniel turned 31 this last Feb. He is the man of my dreams. I love him more and more everyday. Our newest adventure to Rock Springs although lacking in Rocks to climb, has been a good one for us. We both felt strongly that we needed to come here and although sometimes I loose the reason why in the wind we have grown stronger and closer together. I love having my best friend with me on this adventure. I love you Babe. HAPPY B DAY!
