a tall personality

I had one REEEALLLY crappy day this week, but before I talk about that, I want to talk about how the rest of the week was so awesome. Monday I got a tattoo on my arm!  Just kidding,  I got to be a part of an awesome celebration of a marriage of two friends of mine.  They decided the Monday before their wedding they would organize a Tri for all their friends.  It happened to fall on May 5, so what did they call it?  Cinco de Tri-yo, of course!  We got to choose our numbers and I chose 99686, the Valdez zip code.  The next day I worked with some fun co-workers who teased me about my 'prison tattoo' all day.   Later that week we had the actual reception which was lovely and wonderful.  Kevin and Jerrica looked so happy and peaceful, plus they had a super fun party complete with a bean bag toss, ammo box tug-o-war, a tandem bike, and all my favorite people. And something curious happened. People kept asking me if I was Rainy, who unfortunately couldn't make it.

 These are all the fun things I have been doing! Canyoneering in Robber's Roost!  I have done some canyons before but nothing like this experience.  It was much HARDER as there was less rappelling and walking and more down climbing.  Down climbing is rough!  Literally, the walls are like sandpaper and you use the friction of your body against them to not fall to your death. Despite being quite scared for much of the time I loved it and want to go again Cotopaxi Questival!  Ran around between SLC, Wyoming, Park City, and Provo for 26 hours with three great friends, scored lots of points (made it into the top 25 out of maybe 300? teams), did things I have never done (Homestead Crater), got an awesome backpack, and forgot to tuck my shirt in for this picture, oops.  It was such a cool picture though and one of the only ones on my phone :) Attempted Trail Ragnar in Zion with this lovely crew!  We're called the 509ers because everyone (except me and Jason
