Outdoors and More

This past week has been pretty great; the weekend especially.  Kat was able to come up and hang out this weekend.  Plus got to see some amazing friends as well when we went kayaking on the Flint River.  To say I have the kayaking bug is an extreme understatement.  As many as you know I have been wanting a kayak for awhile and after this weekend I have been doing more research and price gauging.  Sadly, it may be a little while before I can afford the kayak.  If anyone is willing to donate to the "Chelsea Kayak Fund", please make all checks payable to Chelsea Nazareitan.

On top of the kayaking trip this weekend, I was go to journey to Guntersville with Rory while we dropped Kat off.  We enjoy a jog around the lake as well as playing the water.  Needless to say, Rory was confused at first about the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks.  He enjoyed playing in the water like a typical lab.  The more and more I think about it I am so thankful for Rory.  Not only to have somebody to go on adventures with but someone to keep me sane.  Being at the apartment by myself would drive me bananas.  Which is why when the weather is decent, Rory and I are outside hiking, swimming, or walking around research park. 

To complete my awesome outdoorsy week, Rory and I hiked Rainbow mountain together.  Sure, I had to carry him a little and believe me carry an extra 60 pounds up the mountain is on easy task.  He did pretty well.  A bit more work and he will be ready for a greater distance.  If you haven't guessed I love the outdoors and all the freedom and peace that comes with it.

This next week, Kristin has talked me into working out in the morning.  We will see how long this lasts.  Anyways, get outside, find something you love, and enjoy the little things.  Peace.
