Best. Summer. EVER.

Image
I had great aspirations to blog regularly and share my epic adventures with those who care to witness me nerd out about my love for outdoor experiences. Unfortunately, life just gets in the way and somehow I end up trying to squeeze too much into each day and blogging tends to fall off the list of priorities. I swear I intend to document it all because I really do enjoy sharing, plus I like to go back and look at how far I've come. Maybe some day I'll have more time or more willpower to actually sit down and do it! I guess you can say that my absence from this space indicates that I've done lots of cool stuff since then. I certainly have! I spent nine days on a hiking road trip with a friend at the beginning of summer. We hiked in six national parks (from Utah to Montana) during that time. We saw so many incredible things and I can't wait to plan my next one. It's definitely something everyone should do at least once in their lifetime. We didn't book any campg

This is me. I'm not fancy.

Full disclosure: I haven't always been a hiker nor have I ever been a blogger. Also, I'm not fancy. I'm not even sure I know how to do this blogging thing but I'm going to give it a shot. I hope I'm not terrible at it! Becoming an avid hiker and having the desire to document my experiences are things that are a bit unexpected for me. You see, I didn't grow up in a family that particularly relished in the outdoors (although I lived in rural towns) and I have always been an introvert so public speaking isn't exactly my most favorite thing. That being said, my career in higher education has pushed me out of my comfort zone and has caused me to be in positions where public speaking is necessary. I do it. It's fine. I just don't tend to seek it out. That's the "work me"...the one who speaks up, gets things done, and has confidence. The "outside of work me" is my fly-under-the-radar self...the one who loves to go unnoticed. Perhap
