Now that i am aclimated and my legs dont feel like cement any more i have a little more energy to do some writting. i figure some of you wouldnt mind knowing how a typical day goes out here so i will do my best to paint you a little picture. I usually wake up at about 6 o'clock in the morning because i dont trust that my alarm clock will go off at the pre-set time of 7AM. i then fall in and out of sleep waking each time with a jolt because im afraid that i slept through practice. when my alarm finaly does go off im forced to get up right away because i lack the necessity of a snooze button. having gotten used to hitting snooze 4 or 5 times before i ... read more

I spent my last night in California with sister Birka and friend Jeff. We went to a local dive where i preceeded to beat Jeff at a game of pool.

We had plans to go to Seven Falls tonight after going to church, but we're all so tired we're just ready to go to bed. Tomorrow ... read more

At The Foot of the Mountains Saturday May 22, Kelly met me in Garden City at my hotel about 8am and helped me pack my car and his for our trip to Colorado. We didn't really know where we were going, but it would be either Colorado Springs or Denver and their surrounding areas. I checked out and we headed to Scott City where we dropped off my car at his dad's house for the few days we would be gone. They were getting their house sided and his step mom was very nervous because already the siders had made 2 mistakes. Anyway we got what we needed in the car and headed west. We didn't have to decide which direction to go until we got to Kit Carson. Arriving at the point of decision, we ... read more
