Hello blog... it has been so long. I am sorry I have neglected you for so long. Sometimes I do something so much that it is no longer fun or interesting... so I stop. Then eventually down the road I wonder why I ever stopped... then I remember... oh yeah its because I no longer had time to wipe my own butt cause real life was so crazy... so I started cutting at my virtual life. But now... maybe I just have more time on my hands because Derick is gone, I miss the blog.
So I have returned.... Alot has happened since I left you last spring. We found out we are moving to Missouri this summer. Derick is going to a super great school for his career and I am now hanging out in Japan alone. Not complaining.
I hiked ALOT this summer... with my fabulous friend Kendall who turned out to be a super kick ass adventurer (I had no idea)! I rock climbed a fair amount with my Uh-Mazing climbing "coach" Kate! Derick and I visited Hawaii (he had a conference for work). Camped a couple times... then Winter was like POW and now we have two feet of snow and I ski almost every weekend and have started to learn ice climbing.
Maybe I feel like blogging again because I feel a recent shift in myself. Maybe I just finally have something to say again because I figured out again who I am. Something which is kind of elusive and constantly shifting. My friend Caitlyn said something once which I thought was Amazingly profound and super true... that its okay to have opinions that don't add up, you can love something and hate it at the same time... you can feel, think and believe something one day and you don't have to feel, think or believe the same thing the next day... that its okay to be "multifaceted." This is a comment that I have mulled over in my head so many times, had so many conversations with close friends about. Its something that I believe and live by. Not because its easy to be wishy washy but because we I am not a stagnant being. I am constantly shifting and changing. Challenging myself and what I believe. And sometimes I believe multiple things. I can see more then one view and agree with both, and they can live harmoniously inside me.
Anyways... I am back! (for now)
