So this was the ridge that we had to cross. This was on the other side (when I got across) and a view from the top to the bottom of the ridge with the drop offs. I guess you can call me crazy or a daredevil trying to overcome my fears. The picture of me with the amazing background was at the top of the ridge. I guess I am crazy. :)
So a group of my friends and I decided last minute to go on a camping trip in Southern Utah. The guy to girl ratio was 3 girls and 5 guys so that means each girl had a guy. :)Don't worry mom, I will be safe. :) The weather was perfect and we really had a great time. As you can tell from the pictures, there was cactus and they were beautiful. There was other flowers that were just as pretty as the cactus. We went on a hike on Saturday and let me just say, it was one of the scariest things I have ever done. There was a part where we had to do some tunneling, and cross a ridge that had a drop off of 200 ft on one side and 1000 ft on the other side. When you are one that doesn't like heights, it is hard for you to enjoy it. Once I got to the other side of the ridge I was okay and able to take pictures. The view was amazing and I really had a great time. At the beginning of the hike, we went to a spot that had some water. Knowing myself I knew something would happen to me. I was trying to get to the other side and I didn't reach the guys hand fast enough and slipped into the pond. The water was brown and came up to the top of my stomach. So for the rest of the hike I was in wet jeans but I still made the hike enjoyable. I have learned that I love camping and hiking. Camping makes me grateful for nature and the beautiful world God has given to me.
So this past weekend, I had the wonderful opportunity to get my wisdom teeth out. Let me tell you, I think I might have lost some wisdom. :) My face didn't really get that puffy but it had its moments where is hurt. At work, one of the kids came up and hit my checks and let me tell you, that wasn't the most enjoyable thing in the world. The surgery went well but I got in trouble from my mom on the way home because I decided to talk on the phone. (you aren't supposed to do that right after you get your wisdom teeth out.) My recovery went very well and I only bruised a little. Don't worry, I had a smile on my face the whole time. (like always) The first picture is before I got my teeth out and the second was at home after the surgery. I was trying my hardest to smile. The last picture is one of my favorites because it shows that I really did look like a chipmunk. Let me just say, I have dreamed of looking like a chipmunk but doesn't everyone. More than anything, I am grateful my parents were there to take care of me because otherwise I would've been a wreck. Thanks mom and dad.
