My new year is off with a bang!

Last night, I had an epiphany or something.

One other new years goal is also to listen to my gut more. I think it's pretty much on target about most things. I just need to listen to it.

Anyways, with that being said, I've already put in an inquiry to Fox Mountain Guides for a two day Rockclimbing 101 Course they offer. It takes place in early March. Tons of climbing and tons of learning about the gear and knots, etc.
After that course, I'm going to do the Rockclimbing 201 course. They teach you how to place gear, etc. And maybe I'll learn more about how to lead, etc. This one is also a two day course. It's kind of expensive, but worth it though. Hell, I want to learn, and I'm tired of being the "cute girl that wants to climb". And I don't like being stuck in a gym hoping I get invited out on a trip.

I also put out another bulletin on the message board on www.rockclimbing.com to climb with experienced people. To be safe, I deleted my MySpace link though and made my page private.

I was also informed about a site for chics from a fellow female on the rock climbing website. It's called She Climbs Carolina.

I want to climb more in 2008! :)

I would like to go to Joshua Tree or to The Red Rocks at some point this year. They have beginner and intermediate climbing there too.

I remember last spring, all I wanted was to at least try the climbing wall at the gym. Who knew that I would end up liking it that much? Sometimes you just never know, until you try.

My friend, Paul, and my new friends I met are planning on skydiving soon too. Yeah!!! When it gets a little warmer...

And I definitley want to go snowboarding this year. This summer, I want to cool things off by trying out wakeboarding. I wanted to last year, but it didn't happen.

I'm so excited for the new year! It's already feeling strong.
