Las Vegas and Red Rocks!

Hey All!
We have begun the first part of our Jan-March journey. Evan and I met up in Las Vegas on the 29th and then met up with our friends Nate and Cassalyn to enjoy the bright lights of Las Vegas for a few days. We headed away from Vegas on the day of the 31st to enjoy ringing in the New Year out at Lake Mead. It turned out to be a fantastic idea: enjoying good friends, a blue moon and 2010!
We then went to Red Rocks for a few days and did some hiking, rock scrambling and some rock climbing.
I will post pictures when I can hook up my card to a computer! Red Rocks is AMAZING I would highly recommend it to anybody, though it does get quite busy on the weekends. TONS OF PEOPLE!!
Mom, our phones died so, sorry we couldn't call!! ; )
From Red Rocks we are getting some much needed showers and heading down to Joshua Tree where we will stay for about 5 days and enjoy some more rock climbing.
I'll put another post up next week when we get back from Joshua Tree. Until then!!

I am a snow bunny....Aspen is great this time of year!! Come stay at my condo!
Evan is a biker, unfortunately (or maybe fortunately!?) in this picture, you can't see his excellent spandex!

Halloween!

Here I am again! I've taken a bit of a sabbatical from the blog, not on purpose, just haven't done it! I am at my last semester (WOOHOO) at UAA. Halloween just passed, so I thought that I would post a picture of my sweet costume and my cute boyfriend!
Love to you all!

Summer plans

Alright, we here we are at the last week of school.
I am VERY ready for school to be over for the summer. I am still taking a sculpture class over the summer, though it is just a few days a week.
I'll be staying in Anchorage for the summer, for the first time!! I've lived here for 5+ years and I've never spent a summer here. I am excited, I've got some fun adventures in mind...
Evan is going up the Slana in Wrangell St. Elias Nat. Park where he'll be a backcountry ranger. He's stoked be able to hike around the park all summer!
Okay, I'll report back later!

February 09

So, let's see....I"m back at school for my second-to-last semester!!!WOOOOOOHHOOOO!! I am very excited and my classes are fairly easy this semester, just finishing up some genreal ed. requirements to graduate. It's a nice break from last semester which was a bit stressful, but I came away with 2 A's and 3 B's. Overall I am pretty happy with how it turned out.
Evan and I are in Anchorage and things are going well here, Evan is continuing his job search for the summer and cooking me delicious dinners when I come home from school! I can't really complain!

Hiking in Shenandoah Nat. Park

Full Moon over Washington DC

The beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains

Those mountains sure are small down there...

Back to the grind stone...

It's been awhile since I posted a blog...I'm back in Anchorage, going to school. I'm taking 5 classes, which have been going pretty good. Now things are starting to get busy and a little hectic. I'm practically living at the Arts building, I don't even know why I pay rent at my apartment!
Evan is off in Nepal right now, he will be back at the end of November. Then we're here for another month to finish school and everything, then we jet off to Virginia and Maryland for Christmas. After seeing all the family in Maryland and Virginia we are off again to Mexico!! WOOHOO!! We are going to a fairly small place (i think) called el petrero chico. It's not on the beach, but it's supposed to have some really amazing rock climbing, whic is why we're going. I think I could go anywhere at that point, as long as its not related to school or cold!
Well that's it for now...
