Wow..well I haven't posted in forever, so I apologize for my absence!  First of all, I finished A Severe Mercy, by Sheldon Vanauken, and it quite possibly may be one of my favorite books I have EVER read.  And definitely my favorite memoir.  Secondly, I'd like to publicly rebuke my two brothers:  Logan Daniel and Levi Benjamin for not telling me they were going home for mom's birthday!!  I was the only L not present for the family get together this weekend...thanks for the memo, guys!  Thirdly, last week I got the incredible chance of hiking the chimneys with Allan.  It was snowy and absolutely beautiful.  I think God likes to show off sometimes when we hang out. :)  And at the top, I experienced one of the most terrifying and invigorating moments of my life!!  We rock climbed out to this mountain that was waaay out from the top where we got a 360 degree view of mountains, which peaks were at eye-level.  It was so scary clinging to that rock, knowing that at any moment if you let go for even a second you would be meeting your death below.  There were moments when all I could do was pray for my safety and hold on with everything inside of me...it was INCREDIBLE!

These are picture evidence that could never possibly do it justice!
