Life after South America



At the top of Mariuolumne Dome with Jeremy & Cindy (highest dome summit in Yosemite).


Cathedral Peak- another great climb with great friends.


Playing with rock and ropes.


Summer day at Tahoe with Kari-Mom.


Mountain biking on the Rim Trail above Tahoe- the only thing missing is Ryan and KC!


Dad demonstrating our new extreme sport.


Cullen,Mike, and Sparky on "Father's Day Peak"


There's only a fine line between golfing a round and goofing around...


We have been home now for 8 weeks and we are sharing a few photos of fun times to keep the adventure dialogue going. In the mean time, there have been big changes that don't make it into the photo album... I started working in a fantastic office with amazing people, doing orthodontics in my hometown of Fallon. We are buying our first home in Carson City (officially ours this week!) which means we have plenty of space to put up friends and family who come to visit! And the most important change that has occurred in our life, is that my Me-ma has been teaching us alot about courage, faith, and hope in the last 2 months. Every rock we climb reminds me of the challenges she faces daily, and we celebrate her triumphs over obstacles of the body as she continues to grow healthier every day. Now, more than ever, we don't take family for granted or the time we spend together. We love you Me-ma!
