I have been in love. And for those who know me well, I chant TIMP! everytime I see the mountain, which is a lot.
It's the BEST. And I have this weird obsession with it... Espesh considering I live right next to Rainier in Washington, but there's something about timp.
Liz and I being bears:
Anyways, this weekend, a dream of mine came true and I finally got to hike it. ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP. It was WONDERFUL. I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT! And I can't wait to do it again! It will prob be after my mish, but I'm so glad I got to hike it.
chillin' on the saddle:
We had a few close calls hiking, and I had a few wipe outs. But it was an enjoyable experience, none the less. First of all, when trying to get around the glacier, I was climbing on rocks and caused a large ish rock slide. It was terrifying and Elise was right below me. Luckily, she got outta the way fast. The second big thing that happened was that on the way down, I was kinda booking it, cause I had to pee. SURPRISE!! But yah, anyways, Elise started yelling down the mountain and I couldn't really hear her, but then I saw a HUGE chuck of ice flying down the side of the mountain. "AVALANCHE!" is the word she was yelling. I was pretty close by where ice and large rocks were flying by, so I turned and booked it in the opposite direction. It didn't last very long, and luckily, no one got hurt, but it was a kray experience.
top of timp, I was BEYOND stoked:
I also ate it twice. Once on the glacier, [yes my tail bone is sore today,] and once booking it down the mountain. But nothing too serious. it was fun!
me, amongst the flowers:
Anyways, I'm sooo grateful I had this experience. On the way down, I got the opportunity to pray for a reallly long time, and it was fantastic. I'm so grateful for all the blessings I have. I am overwhelmed when I look at the people and things I am surrounded by. Life is wonderful!
And the Church is TRUE!
