Welcome!

So I was sitting around at home surfing around on Facebook and one thing led to another and I stumbled upon the blog of one of my close friends. I perused her blog and I have to say, my friend Kelly is even more amazing, accomplished and adventurous than I previously thought (which I didn't think was possible). Her blog about her travels and experiences have made me feel pretty boring (although I'm happy I was in at least one of her adventures this summer, so I'm not *that* lame, haha).

Kelly has inspired me to blog, although I doubt mine will be a quarter as fascinating as hers, but I'll give it a shot.

Anyway, I'm going to try to travel more and do more this year. Right now we're 8 months into the new year and so far I've been doing a pretty good job... maybe there's a correlation between doing cool things and having a cool guy in my life this year? :)

So far this calendar year I have gotten out of my comfort zone and climbed Mount Whitney (in one day), climbed Half Dome (less than a day), completed my first triathlon, started playing tennis again, and went on my first backpacking trip!

This blogging won't be just about the super cool and adventurous stuff that I'm doing but it'll also include random stories for friends to laugh at, and semi-mundane updates so my mom can stalk me (Hi Mom!). Happy blogging!
