...: I've missed you.

I've missed blogging. Although public, it's a diary of sorts and I've been going a bit crazy without the release... Plus, there's been a lot of cool stuff goin on that NEEDS sharing! Firstly, here's what happened when Jeremiah stepped on my computer! Haha, it's not actually a huge deal considering I spent $200 on the thing... BUT it has been a demotivator for blaggin.

The ink spotching keeps changing along the crack... weird.

Before I tell ya'll about the Kentucky Derby, Eva leaving S'merica and this weekend at the ranch, here are some pictures from when my mom and Westy last visited Denver. I'm headed back to Iowa for Westy's graduation from high school in a couple weeks and I really can't wait! What a big event! Jeremiah is tagging along and will meet my dad for the first time since we've been a couple so that should be fun--I hope he's nervous!!! I'll also get a chance to do some Iowa climbing with the brohams and see Mike's girlfriend Addy. Oh, and some IOWA FRIENDS!!!!!!

Westy did some climbing comps while here--one in Boulder and one in the Springs.

Sick bouldering skillz.

Mom does this at every comp. Westy likes grapefruit and peanut butter sandwiches for strength and solidarity.

This is my favorite gym I've been to. Really wished I'd climbed in this comp.

Scoping out the route.

On the route. I think the scoring was the top five routes and top five boulder problems.

Lead climbing is different than top rope and garners a better score because the climber is essentially "free" climbing with no protection until he gets to the first bolt and each bolt after. I think Westy is clipping the second bolt in this pic.
