My Favorite Memory of this Summer

Climbing this mountain. This is our view in the morning. We climbed to the summit all day. Rock climbing the ridge all the way up once we hiked to the base.

Ah yeah!

BACK UP YOUR HARDDRIVE NOW!!!!‏

As you may have realized by now, my harddrive was stolen on my honeymoon. I lost everything. This has been one of the hardest things I have ever experienced.

Then one of my companions (she was at the wedding) just texted me yesterday saying, "Uggghhh, i think my harddrive just crashed."

Then she wrote this on facebook today:

Singleton:
remember that one time when my hard drive crashed... with no back up... because I ignored the thought that kept coming to my head saying BACK THAT MOTHER UP... so now I feel ill and nausious... how does one go on after a trial like this??? HOW!!!



So I am telling you RIGHT NOW, BACK UP your information. BACK UP your BACK UP. BUY 2 or 3 EXTERNAL HARDDRIVES AND HAVE THEM ALL COPIED ONTO EACH OTHER. Don't wait til the end of this month. Don't wait until the weekend. Do it right now. Do it tonight. I wish I would have.

Amen!

This blog by my friend Jade reminded me of something from my past.

Saving the Planet One Floor at a Time

Many of my friends would ask, "What'd you do this weekend?" and I'd answer, with a random spontaneous trip I didn't know about the day before it. I was always running to this or that. There was always something to be documented.

Then I'd hear my roommates tell others what they did that weekend and they would answer, "I cleaned the bathroom".

I had one roommate get frustrated that I never cleaned the bathroom, when there wasn't anything dirty about it at all. I mean it was the cleanest bathroom I had ever seen or ever had.

I would rather live than sweat over a tiny speck of dirt or a pile of papers.

But don't get me wrong, I'm the queen of organization. I still think I surprise Donny that I know exactly where everything is. Even his things. (My favorite thing this week was building a bookcase and organizing all my books, scrapbooks, and binders. I mean I get giddy about it).

But I'm not going to stress over a crumb or thin layer of dust you can't even see yet. Because I like to live and in Jane's eyes "Save the Planet"--and instead I'm going to see the planet. :) one weekend at a time.

Do you have any of these?

I've been going through my stuff at parent's house and I found a bunch of cases of my old CDs.

Look at a Picture I Found

I just found this picture of me, my sister Jess, and Donny on the Salmon this summer. I had never seen it before. It's crazy to think that 6 months ago, we weren't even anything but friends and now we're married. Crazy!

How long did it take you before it really sunk in that you were married?
