Whoever wishes to keep a secret must hide the fact that he possesses one.

  Well, I knew Nate was up to something this spring and summer. I had heard the rumors and watched him smirk when I asked  about the stash of boulders he had found in LCC.  I continued to ask and at some very low points beg and threaten, but he held his cards close.  At one point I might have chased what I thought was his car up the canyon honking my horn and yelling that I had found him.  Sadly it was just a family out for a hike and I hope I wasn’t the cause for their daughters tears.   Sure, there are plenty of problems to keep me occupied in the canyon, they have for YEARS, but there is nothing better that throwing yourself around on new gems.  Yes, that is what I finally was able to do this weekend. Thank you Nate, for sharing with me the boulders I will never be able to find again since you blindfolded me.   Here are a few photos the master took.  This roof problem was dope, I broke a hold at the top, but am stoked on it. The first move is a powerful throw to a decent crimp. I think its a V6 or V7.  The other photo is right before I started (almost) crying after pulling on up top, slipping off and banging my knee on the rock as I slide head first into the cave. For some reason, Nate is always there to witness my worst falls and stupidity .  the-stash.jpg ouch.jpg  

a smile on my face

What makes you happy? Cupcakes usually do the trick for me and a good day up LCC. Here are some things in my life that  ALWAYS put a smile on my face. Yes, I am a material girl.

gifts

I am really excited, design public just contacted me and Luke’s birthday present has finally shipped.  His birthday was Sept 16th so, a little late, but worth the wait. I think it will look perfect next to the chair I gave him for our one year wedding anniversary. I know the tradition is to give paper, but I am sure I wrote him a card, I am too superstitious not to.  What do you think?  asteroid-lamp2.jpg   

shop till you drop

Peach is open and I am stoked. We are doing well, learning a lot and hopefully getting better everyday.  Here are some shots from the multi-talented Jason Kehl. Come in and shop or at least keep me company, I can dress you up for fun.  peach1.jpgpeach2.jpg peach3.jpg
