The Walk ...

Wednesday was the LONGEST walk of my LIFE! Rachel and I had decided a week ago that we would walk to Fred Meyer. This walk is ladden with hills of all ranges. Most of them located in the mountainous region of said range! Imagine a roller coaster stretched out a few miles ... and then you will kind of get the picture of what 164th looks like. Very exhausting. The end.

Once we got to Fred Meyer however, Rachel poked and prodded me with camp fire roasting sticks and an evil glint in her eye to continue on ward. The song, "Onward Christian Soldiers" ran through my head as I thought of several different scenarios's to get her back. Needless to say we made it to the summit of our journey and skipped the way back to Freddies, of course hitting up a flower shop on the way. Of course.

After we got back from our treacherous journey to Mt. Everest (c'mon you have to have a little imagination here!) we had a picnic and then jumped our nasty, grimy, sweaty bodies into a the refreshing goodness of my apartment's bug infested pool. *Ahh- I sighed in relief. It was pure goodness.

I will add that Libby Murrey and several other's honked at us as they drove by! What an exciting feeling to know I have friends out there motivating me even from the comfort of their air conditioned car! Thanks guys!! (Insert cheesy grin here:)
