How Great

Mt Timpanogos

Mesa Verde, CO

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,

consider all the worlds thy hands have made.

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

thy power through out the universe displayed.

Kings Peak, UT

When through the woods and forest glades I wander

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;

When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur

And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:

13, 528 Ft King's Peak

Fruita, Co

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee:

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

A couple of weeks ago in church a talented pianist played a version of this song on the piano...as he played, I thought of all the wonderful places I have ventured to this summer...I am constantly reminded by this world how great my Heavenly Father is, and how he must love us all, to bless us with such a magnificient place here on earth.

No Turning Back

Obviously, I am SO excited

The Great Escape
My Job- Toes off the edge of the plane, Head back, Belly Out, Breathe....
Master Tandem's Job- Push me out! :)

The Freefall
(60 seconds, going @ 120 mph -- Air is coming at you so fast they tell you to breathe thru your teeth, all you hear is air rushing by....)

The Chute
After the Chute was deployed its smooth sailing...just floating down to earth really. You can breathe regularly, talk, and enjoy the scenery!

Landing

Upon landing....I just wanted to go back for more! It was such a fun thrill, I would totally recommend it to anyone interested!

2010- This is going to be our year!

My friends and I are determined that this is "our" year, and so far its off to a great start! So here's to 2010!!!

I took a ride on the LEAP OF FAITH (an 8 story drop!)

ATLANIS RESORT, BAHAMAS

AHH!!!! The Beach!

Summer Snow

Last night some friends and I ventured up to camp along the Mirror Lake Freeway. It was rainy when we set up camp, and it was a little rainy when we took down camp this morning. Our original plans for today were to wake up and drive up to Mirror Lake and do some hiking in that area. As we drove up higher our expectations changed when we found this:

SNOW!!!! (At the top of Bald Mountain, Elev. Approx 10,000 ft)

Me @ Mirror Lake

I guess we will just have to go back again in the day time! ;) Oh....another excuse to get away for the weekend!

Run Away to the Rockies

I ran away to Colorful Colorado this past weekend. It was a very nice relaxing getaway to visit my cousin Rachel.

We hit up the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.

Spiral Jettiness

Only about 2 hrs north of Salt Lake City is Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty. I hit it up with my friends Matt and Tyson. It was a good saturday morning activity! (FYI: To get there take a 4 wheel drive to manage some of the dirt roads, and head up towards Promitory Point, UT)
