Well, summer is almost over but it has been one to remember. Moab is AMAZING!!! I have had so much fun being a river guide. It hasn't been easy, Steve and Nicki work us hard, but really on the river work and play go hand in hand. I have had lots of crazy adventures with all of my new found friends. We survived training in the freezing cold of early May and helped one another endure the endless Ciscos (three day youth trips) through the scorching heat of summer. Whether it be mountain biking in the dark, late night floats through the rapids, or crazy birthday surprises I couldn't have done it without them. And then there is Tim....need I say more :) Tim joined our little group after training just in time for the start of the season. I came back from the two week break between the end of training and the start of the season to find a green VW bus parked in the yard. I walked up to the warehouse and saw this bearded, hairy guy sitting on the couch. Needless to say, I instantly knew who owned the bus and was intrigued. We didn't start dating right away but after doing a few Ciscos together and hanging out around the warehouse we decided we might like each other...turns out we did and life has been good ever since. He has introduced me to rock climbing, which I think I might actually be good at. I bought my first pair of climbing shoes on the way back from our Idaho trip this last weekend. It's going to be hard to say goodbye to the river and Moab for this season but I look forward to coming back next summer.
