4 days until our mini vacation for the Summer. 4.5 days in St. Louis with Laura's grandparents and then 3.5 days in St. Charles with TJ and Ashley. Should be fun, to take a break from it all. I have some fun projects that I hope to accomplish while I'm there.

And yes, I'm still in climbing mode. I don't think I've put in the blog yet, but I did buy some gear for it...rope, rope bag, a carabiner, harness (for me and Laura), some slings/webbing, chalk bag...only thing I've left to get are shoes (been borrowing Trent's for now), ATC, and quickdraws...the latter being the most expensive at around $15-$16/piece and I suspect I would need around 10 or so to be able to do most sport routes, but not the super long, multi-pitch ones.

Oh well...my next BIG purchase is still a Nikon D90...mmmmm. I got a 50mm 1.8 lens for our 1st anniversary from Laura. I got her some pearl jewelry.

I can't believe it's been 1 year already (in 5 days)...I love you!!!!
