I decided what I really wanted to do, even more than eating lots of sugar and various deliciousness, was try something new. So I signed up for a rock wall climbing class. My friend Brionna was courageous and came with me. These were the short bouldering walls you could climb without needing to be hooked up with a belay. And these were the 40 foot walls for which we were so glad for that rope hanging onto us. Climbing a freaking wall? Wall and autobe.

Including Pam, Jake, Alex, and Dean. Sunday, September 06, 2009. Jake is out shopping with Dean so I have a few minutes for an update. School started for me last week and so far it has been great.
