It's been awhile and I'm procrastinating...


These were the flowers Francisco got me for my birthday! They started out a little beat up, but with some water and love, they looked beautiful! I came home from work the night before my birthday and Francisco had these on top of my presents all set up in the living room! Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes and presents! It turned out to be a pretty good birthday. :)



Francisco and I went rock climbing about a month ago... I convinced him to take me to the Quarry, a local rock gym because I missed rock climbing! (I used to have friends take me often enough to keep me satified but I hadn't gone in awhile) So, we went and I think he liked it even more than I did! but It's wicked expensive so we can't go real often...
This is me on the bouldering wall (you just climb without getting hooked up and stuff) but I didn't like these walls because I couldn't get down!!!! I has too scared to jump and my arms were too tired to climb down. So I would never get very high on these ones. I did make it to the top on one of the easier runs down at the regular walls.
and Francisco was a pro! He could just climb right up with no problems! We only had someone take pictures of the real wall when he was climbing! So that's why I have no proof of me on the tall walls.

Anyway it was great fun! Afterwards we went to Coldstone for icecream and bought a lamp from Shopko (from my parents for Christmas-- Thanks Ma and Pa!) and Francisco left his lights on in the car so we had to ask someone to help us jump it! Silly boy. We are just thankful for so many nice people in Utah!

It's true--Utah is probably the best place to ask strangers for help :) And I'm glad you had a good birthday! We'll have to get together soon and celebrate it again, belated...

Ha! I'm commenting before your mom!! :)
Beautiful flowers... I always love when I get unexpected flowers and I love having them on my dining room table at home.
And the rock-climbing... I'm impressed! I don't have the upper body strength for that. Or the desire, so I keep my feet on the ground!

Fine Jennifer. You beat me. I'll bet I read it before you though! Then again, maybe not. Guess I'll just have to take the time to comment when I read...

I do not have the upper body strength either. Although...I can do a few pushups now. And, I also do not have the desire. And anyway, How DID you get down if your arms were too tired, etc.?

Beautiful flowers. Good job Francisco!

Yeah for a new post! Beautiful flowers. Glad you had a good birthday. The rock climbing wall looks like fun. I like them better then being outdoors. I don't feel like I am going to die if I fall. It does take a lot of strength. We went Kayaking yesterday and my arms are so sore today. I feel like a wimp, Tob's fine. Thanks for then new pics!

What happened to your family and friends? It just dawned on me that I hadn't checked Amanda's site for a long time. Now I know why! Where is it???

Dawn said...

PLEASE count me in for Ecuador! I would LOVE to go. Do you guys have any idea when you might go?

It's been awhile again, what's going on with you guys? Actually you are probably headed to Jeff's wedding. I will cut you some slack for another week. :0)
