Got It Covered...

This picture says it all. If the "world ends" aka if all the technology in the world stopped working and grocery stores were no longer a viable source of food people may panic. People would panic. There would be a world wide frenzy in search for food, people would die of starvation if they didn't know how to get food without a grocery store (which is kind of pathetic but probably true). While everyone else results to scavenging etc, I would be feasting. I wouldn't have that problem, I wouldn't have to scavenge. My husband would keep us alive. He is great at spear fishing, normal fishing, he knows how to hunt birds and other kinds of animals; he can clean them and gut them and skin them before I could even blink and eye. He's a regular Bear Grylls.If my husband participated in the hunger games he would have been just like Katniss Everdeen, he's a survivor. So just in case the world ends, I want you all to know I'm not worried about a lack of food. I will survive, thanks to my husbands skills.

25 Years Wiser

I am 25.
TWENTY-FIVE.
1/4 of a century old.
OLD.
If the movie "In Time" was real, the clock on my arm would have started ticking down indicating that I only had a year left of life unless I gained or gave away time. It was weird to watch a movie where 25 was the age that everyone remained at and here I was turning 25. What irony, to watch that movie on the very day that I turned 25. What would I do with my life if I only had a year left to live. In all honesty, I'd have a baby. I'd start a family even with only a year left to live I'd want to have a child. I would also try to enjoy life more, which is sometimes hard to do. Agh. 25. I feel OLD! Kevin's brother said he didn't feel old until he turned 28... but I am 25 and I feel old. I don't have any kids, I just got married 6 months ago, but I did graduate from college and served a mission for England. I do feel accomplished, but I also feel like there are things I should have done already!

I did have a good birthday though and my husband was a sweetheart. He brought me flowers, so I woke up to him holding flowers and he made me french toast palooza. He was a total gem the entire day. Overall 25 has been good, but I still feel OLD. :) (Especially since Kevin is only 22, and will not be 23 until October--marrying someone younger, definitely doesn't help with the whole feeling old thing.) :)

Climb Every Mountain

Well I did it. I climbed to my first peak. Mt. Humpreys in Arizona. It's the highest peak in Arizona at 12,633 feet which is a pretty good altitude. It was really cool to get on top and be the highest point around for miles and miles, as far as I could see. It was a hard hike though, there were lots of roots and rocks on the trail and at parts there was some pretty steep incline. It's labeled on the internet as "strenuous" and in ways it was. The last thousand feet from the saddle to the summit was killer and we took it very slowly. Hiking + Altitude change is no joke! It was a lot of fun. I have been on lots of hikes before but this was my first summit. It tired me out like nobody's business BUT it did make me feel really accomplished, climbing that mountain showed me that I can do difficult things. If I can climb that mountain I can climb any mountain in front of me (tangible or imaginary).
So these pictures are of me when I started climbing up and at the end when I was on top. My calves have been sore for the last 4 days though haha. It feels good to climb a mountain, to be out in fresh air and do something that you don't necessarily feel like doing or that is hard. This is a really random blog about nothing very important except that you can climb every mountain. :) Such a fun experience, hard but very fun. Kevin and I are already planning the next summit we want to climb.
