Fun in the Sun 2012

Anyone who knows me knows that I hate the cold! My heart longs for the warm sun on my skin.  One of our favorite activities is boating. I have been going with my family ever since I was little.  Here are some pictures of all our fun times from last summer (2012).

















FRIENDS AND SUNDAY FUNDAYS (SUMMER 2012)

I truly believe I have the most wonderful friends in the world! Everyday they help inspire me to be a better person.  Last summer (2012), we had a tradition of going hiking, climbing, or any out door activity every Sunday. We called it our "Sunday Funday". We are so blessed to have such down to earth and caring friends in our lives.  Together we unite, to love the life we live and appreciate  the beautiful world we live in. 





















Train Harder, Get Stronger

Once I got more comfortable with climbing, it was really easy to get the motivation to get stronger.  Bryce and I spent our first summer & fall together training to get stronger so we could climb harder. The best feeling in the world is having a best friend that helps encourage you to improve in all the areas in your life.  Bryce is an amazing climber.  He always has and always will amazing me with his strength and dedication.













Bryce introduces me to climbing

Bryce had been rock climbing for about 5 years when I met him.  I had never tried it and was terrified of heights.  He took the time to teach me everything I needed to know about climbing. Honestly, at first, I hated it.  But, the more I tried it, the more comfortable I got.  After time, I started to overcome my fears and enjoy it.  Since then, I have fell in love with climbing and became completely addicted.  This was the beginning of something beautiful for me.  For the first time in my life, I found a healthy escape.  When I'm climbing, all my stress and worries disappear.  My sole focus is the rock.
