What an awesome weekend!!!!! On Saturday I took the whole day off for my b-day...number 25! Some friends and I headed down to Shelf Road to climb all day. It was quite an adventurous day too! As soon as my friend and I got down there I let Brandy out of my car to run free and someone ran up to me yelling to get my dog on a leash because there was a bear over by the campground. So I put Brandy in the car, grabbed my camera, and proceeded towards the black bear to snap some shots. The bear was a cub only weighing probably 120 lbs. so it was scarred of us. It ran away and I was unable to get any good shots. But, it was cool to see a black bear so up close and personal. I got within 15 feet of him, had the perfect picture but my memory card was full...dang it! We also heard that last weekend two adult bears tore off car doors in a nearby campground to get to food left in cars...that is scary!
Climbing was awesome. It was a beautiful day and it was good to be out with my Christian friends. I also managed to get pretty beat up that day but not from climbing. I decided to take a walk down a hill to go pee and well, it was not so pretty. I fell down the hill, scraped up my leg, and managed to fall into a cactus. Oh, and as you can see in the picture above of Brandy, the cacti down in there are brutal. I was in so much pain trying to pull the cacti out of my foot and bum. I came back from going pee bleeding and in pain. It was not pretty! No more going to the bathroom in the woods; it is more dangerous than climbing!
Later that evening a friend took me out to Old C's for my b-day and bought my dinner. I enjoyed a yummy lager with lime and a mini-pizza. We went to the downtown Old C's and sat outside so Brandy could be with us. She was soooooooooo happy on Saturday. She got to swim in the river, run around at shelf, and lay outside while we ate dinner. After Old C's I met some friends at Jack Quinns, but I was way to tired to stay out. I went home and both Brandy and I passed out from exhaustion. Good times!On Sunday, I went to church...yay for me going to church! Then I parked my car at my friend's house on GOG and I-25. I then road my bike downtown to Mountain Chalet and then to Old Colorado City for Territory Days (the big street fair every Memorial Day weekend). Total ride was about 15 miles by the time I made it back to my car. It was an awesome ride...I love the downtown culture. Everyone is so bike friendly!
So you may ask: what did I get for my b-day? Well I got the Lady Antebellum CD and money from my parents, which allowed me to buy new sunglasses (mine broke:(), lights for my bike so I can ride to work, and new tires for my bike. Yes, I like my bike!
