Baker was amazing... the hardest thing I've ever done. Simply beautiful and life changing: Repelling into never ending crevasses, walking over snow bridges that make you wonder if they'll hold, climbing on the steepest slopes that make you worry about slipping and falling down the mountain. All in all, amazing. There are no words to describe how I really feel. No way to convey the true meaning of the experience... I'm simply left standing in awe of so many things... still processing and wondering... And of course already getting ready and excited for more mountains next summer. St. Helens and Baker have been a beginning to something big and meaningful in my life. Its still undefinable, but its in the process of manifesting itself. Its a pretty cool thing.
I moved this weekend too. Still living in Greenlake... just now in a house instead of the townhouse. The adjustment has begun. Chaotic, dishevelment describes the scene in our house as belongings are unorganized and thrown randomly throughout the house. In time everything will be in order. I like my room. It's green, inviting, relaxing, pretty... :) Makes me happy. Spiders are going to be an issue... i'm a wuss when it comes to spiders... but maybe it'll help me become even more tough... or something... i'll keep you posted. So far the count is up to 6 killed... and we've only been living there for three days. Oh man.
This weekend was fun. I am happy. Things are well.
Oh life, how I love thee.
