Yo,
So, it's just about 1.5 weeks until our 3 day hiking trip. I think we've got everything we need to get as far as preparation goes. Laura and I have tested our packs with a few pounds of gear and I think we're in good shape. Got some Powerbars for the trip and such too.
Lately I've been in the rock climbing mode. I've been bugging Trent to go to this new area he found that has some climbs that we haven't seen (not like we've seen a lot). I think Chris has the bug too since he's been wanting to get our own set of climbing gear. It looks like it'll be about $200 or so to get a beginner's set completed, including ropes, harnesses, caribiners, etc.
Anyway. We also bought tickets for our St. Louis/Chicago trip for August, as well as the Amtrak train tickets from St. Louis to Chicago since we won't have a car for this trip.
That's about it for news. Same ol' working and stuff. I've been trying to take more intermediate vacations since I never seem to use them, but this year I will try to use them all since it'll be my last year here.
Well, I'll leave it at that for now.
Later.

Hello...
So I'm about to do more stuff on our wedding video that I finally started to do. Anyway, I miss Laura! She's been gone for only 2 days. I think she's having fun, but the baby's quite the work.
Nothing new. Callie seems to still be recovering. She's using it more, so that's good. She gets her sutures out on Thursday. Hopefully the wound doesn't open or something.
The other small thing I wanted to say was that I was looking at some photo galleries today, but not just any photo gallery. This was a collection of pictures that were taken by blind folks. Pretty interesting to see and it had a weird atmosphere to to all the pictures, if that makes sense, for obvious reasons. But anyway, to get to the point, one of the quotes from one of the photographers went something along the lines of:
"...I may be blind, but I haven't lost my vision."
I just thought that line was a pretty strong phrase...it invokes a lot of thoughts in my mind.
I was going to write about it a little, but I think I'm going to just work on the wedding video. I've been tired lately!
