Ok this is a new record. 2 posts in 2 days. I know what you must be thinking but don't worry it probably won't be a new tradition or anything. I just had a scary thing happen today that I thought I'd write about. I was working at the ropes course today doing maintenance and at one point othe day I was climbing up the poles and tightening the bolts. So the first one I climbed up and decided to take a chance and shimmy out the cable and check the pully in the middle. Bad idea. I got stuck just about! It was so hard to pull myself back over to the pole that t took just about all my energy. So I started climbing back down the pole and all of a sudden my belay device somehow became disconnected from me! So here I am 30 feet up this pole not connected to anything and tired as heck. I tried getting it back on my harness and I couldn't get it so I started freaking out completely and my whole body began to shake and my hands were so sweaty it became harder to hang on. After trying multiple times I finally got it connected again and eventually got down. Whew! I am exhausted! But glad I am not laying in some hospital with some serious injuries:)

UPDATE
ok, so it's time for an update. I figured since my Mom checks this every week I'd be nice and give her some new reading material :) So I'm all done with my internship and am officially done with school!!! SO WEIRD! I feel a little like I'm in a state of limbo right now. I thought that by the time I got done with school I would know exactly what I want to do with my life and have everything all planned out. The only thing I know for sure right now is that I'm staying in Vegas. The living situation is good, the ward is good, and I love the weather! I have a couple of possibilities for jobs and it looks like if I wanted to I could manage two jobs. I got a job right away working the ropes course being a facilitator. Which is awesome but since it's winter and the course is up in the cold mountains the actual ropes course is closed for the rest of the year until April. So since it looks like I won't have a lot of work to do there I also have a job teaching snowboard lessons at the local ski area. But I haven't quite decided if I'm going to keep it. It would be fun, but I kinda feel like if I'm going to work at a ski area I want to be somewhere in Colorado or a really nice area- not the podunk one that's here haha. So we'll see. I'll hopefully have it all figured out by the end of this week.
