something i've realized with my new obsession with instagram, is that I feel less of a need for blogging. i can upload my instagram photos to facebook or twitter, if i so choose, which sometimes i do, and part of me feels bad that i will post those photos oh all 4 of these social networking sites... but... most of me doesn't. so i'm gonna do it anyway. if you follow me on instagram... you can just disregard those posts, i will still love you.
we've haven't been up to a whole lot lately. mostly just adjusting to having basically completely opposite schedules. at least will still sleep at the same time. i don't know what i'd do if that had to change! it seems like most of the week, devin's shifts overlap my work just enough that he lives right before i get home, and doesn't get home until i'm in bed about to fall asleep. it's worth it, right? right. always will be. we still have a good time. my favorite things are meeting him for lunch: out or at home - i absolutely love those days! and i also love going into the gym while devin is working just to work out or boulder. i have also convinced him to have me in mind when he's route setting which has so far resulted in some really great technique training! when devin sets a rock climbing route, he sets it with a sequence, and following a sequence and using proper technique is what i'm trying to learn! today he texted me and says "i set a 5.6 for you today. it will be a good warm-up route." how great is he?!
i'm also going to start climbing more with Banner. Banner and Devin have been climbing together as climbing partners for 10 years! Their climbing styles are so similar, and Banner coaches climbers as a living, and teaches the rock climbing classes at UVU. She just wanted a climbing partner, and that means I get free coaching out of it! I have a lot to learn, and between Banner and Devin, I'm bound to get good at this evenually.
We went climbing last night (banner devin and i) and i got so frustrated on my first route. my fingers kept locking up and i felt like i couldn't control them, and it was scary! it took me a long while after that to get back on the wall, and it's sort of discouraging to see devin and banner walk up 12.A's... (they are both amazing!) but I eventually got 2 more routes in, not very happy with any of them, but banner gave me some tips and devin made the point that if i start climbing regularly, my skill level will sky-rocket. i'm sure it's true. it's just a matter of getting up there often enough, with someone to climb with me! (any takers??)
work has been good. getting pretty used to it, and getting trained on senior stuff (that's the next step up i can take), and other than that... not a whole lot. at all.
our anniversary is in 38 days.
which means devin's is in 35 days.
which means we've got a lot of celebrating coming up!
i can hardly wait.
oh, and don't worry about how there's no photos in this post. you'll be overwhelmed come the weekend... trust me!
