Busy Life

I have been running myself ragged this week! Driving to Mississippi, Moving, Work, and trying to mentally and emotionally deal with Tucker's accident has left me exhausted and a bit out of sorts. I feel bad bad because I am super excited about moving in with Eryn but I know it doesnt show in my face or actions right now. I love her and am so happy about starting our future together!! Mike's accident has forced me to take a close look at my life and my activities. Its scary to think that death and serious injury are SO close to us at all times. As I told most ppl close to me I seriously thought I was done climbing forever, however there is danger is in everything we do. Far more in fact during the drive to and from work everyday. When these things happen we need to take a close look at the items we have and the things we do to keep ourselves safe, to keep ourselves as safe as possible. However we also need to look within and grab hold of that drive to do the things we love and remember the joy they bring us. Thats getting into a soon to come post about climbing safety and the stigma around it in the community. Its a subject that has been written on many times but its my blog and I wanna write about it so there :P

So the apartment is shaping up SLOWLY but surely. I will post some photos tonight of its current disastrous condition. We plan on spending all of Sunday arranging the new place and trying to make it resemble an apartment instead of a storage unit. Chris brought over a beautiful HUGE flower arrangement for Eryn as a house warming gift and a card with another gift inside that was simply way too much! I am thankful to have a friend like Chris on almost a daily basis. He is a very considerate man that would be there for me regardless of what I needed.
