The Climbing

"It was the most beautiful place under heaven or sky. Mountains and rock, trees, desert, and blue lake - all lay before him in exquisite detail. The air was so clear he felt he could see the end of the earth, the sky so deep blue, it seemed to merge into space. The view was entirely indescribable to those who were unwilling to pay the price, those unwilling to get out and make the steep mountain climb." "What was it, he wondered, that drove him to the summit? What was it that compelled him to climb the steep path, working his way up the dangerous trail? He couldn't answer the question; all he knew was that he felt it necessary to climb, to reach the highest point, to be on top of the world, to measure the distance, to see both sides of the mountain and the granite peaks all around. Being up there helped him, somehow, to understand the way things operated down below, reminding him that there was more to life than the daily grind."

Breakin' up w/ Lime Tostitos & Little Debbie Snacks...




Hey Friends-

So, there are few things in life that I enjoy more than Lime Tostitos and Little Debbie Snacks...I have loved Little Debbie snacks since I was just a little girl....We got them after every softball game with the little juice drinks..(Does anyone else know what I am talking about) To this day, I can eat a Little Debbie snack and be reminded of when I was younger....no bills, college, etc! Lime Tostitos was a new found love from the early "college days." My second semester at BYU-Idaho, my room-mate (Abby Hogan) loved them....She ate them not by the bags, but by the TRUCK LOADS!! It wasn't long until I too ate them by the TRUCK LOADS...She was able to store them a little better than me, I think...Because it didn't take very long until I looked like the "TRUCK" that delivers the chips to the stores...HAHAH! So, why am I breakin' up with Lime Tostitos and Little Debbie Snacks? Well, it's just time...and ofcourse I am having Gastric Bypass surgery in 5 and half weeks...(not that I am counting or anything..43 days, 6 hours, and 32 minutes until our flight leaves for MEXICO!) and will be completely changing every association or thought I have ever had with food! So, now I bid you farewell....It was fun while it lasted, though it lasted much too long...HAHAHAH! Though, I will soon be losing HUNDREDS of pounds...I can never lose my sense of humor! Sorry this post was kind of a waste of God given space & time..

:),
