what i've been up to!

see this mountain?

i CLIMBED it today! me and a very large group of youth ages 16-18 drove up to mt timpanogas this morning at 1:00am. and then we hiked up the mountain. it took about 5 hours to get to the top. i reached the summit just in time to see the sun rise. it was such an amazing experience. it was so hard. the whole round trip took about 10 hours. i hiked up, then waited for an hour and a half for my group of friends to get up and then it took us about 3 hours to get back to the car. it was madness. i'm not sure if i'll ever do it again. definetly makes one of my top 3 hardest things i've ever done. here are some pictures.







i wish that i could describe how beautiful it was. the whole experience was crazy and amazing.
other than CLIMBING MOUNTAINS! this past week i went to school alot. (haha) and on tuesday some of us went to thanksgiving point when it was only 2$ to get into the gardens. i also went to the volleyball tournement on wed. here are some pics of thanksgiving point.





my friends are goofy. we all get along so well! :)

Happy B-day you 17 year old. I can't believe you are growing up so fast. I'm glad you enjoyed Timp. Sometimes you have to do hard things to get great rewards.
