A Week of Adventure



My mission this week is a slight twist on the old saying, "Do one thing every day that scares you." While I can't commit to bungee jumping or asking guys out every day this week, I can commit to doing something new or different (picture worthy) every day. I'm a few days into this so I'm going to try to catch you all up. I can't wait to see what the rest of the week will hold. A true reminder that everything in life is an adventure if you look for it. So, here we go.

Day One
Wear a sombrero and allow a picture to be taken. This one was in honor of my friend, Erin's, birthday. Friends and margaritas all around. The adventure this night was the conversation!!

Day Two
Start my community garden for the year. A little manure helped to break in my new cowboy boots. Add a little mulch, and we have the beginnings of a little greenery in the ghetto. I already have some chives popping up and am looking forward to seeing what else survived the winter. 

Day Three:
Spend 12 straight hours with my best friend, eating, exploring Fremont, antiquing and laughing our guts out. Fun find of the day, this old beer barrel that had been converted into a picnic table, complete with lighting. The scary part of the day was that I spent my money on breakfast at Delice, lunch on the run from Jimmy Johns and dessert at Zesto's for Ry, Sar and myself. Thank goodness Ryan served up a healthy dose of Boca burger for dinner or I'd be in the poorhouse!

Day Four:
Take a group of friends on a silent, contemplative hike. What I thought to be an "easy" 4-mile loop, turned into an after-dark rescue as a few members wandered **miles** off trail. Headlamps signaling, whistles blowing and celebratory beer and pizza after all were recovered. Great to put all of that training to use. Always remember your ten essentials!! 
(sorry I don't have pics of the rescue effort. It wasn't our priority as I'm sure you'll understand)
