In February, I made my first trip to New Jersey/New York City - lots of fun. Mark and I enjoyed it thoroughly (you did, didn't you Mark?). We had pizza in Hoboken, went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, walked through Central Park, attended Evensong at
The end of February, Mark and I began a competition to see who could reach the summit of the most peaks by September 9 or so. I hiked to the high point of the Manzanitas (just east of Albuquerque), there was no trail and I made it mostly by compass and map and persistence. I was winning for a few weeks with that one peak and currently Mark is 5 and I have 4 summits.
In March, soccer started up and two weeks ago I scored the first goal my team had scored all spring up until that point. I also apparently helped break the drought because one of my teammates scored a goal last week too. This Sunday is our last game for the season. The middle of March, I made my first trip to Florida to spend the weekend with Mark and his parents. We celebrated Mark's birthday and one year of dating.
April -- I took the National Counselor Exam a couple weeks ago and didn't like it, so certainly hope I passed and don't have to do it again.
Upcoming in May -- May is a busy month for me. Mark is getting an unexpected business trip to Denver the middle of May and so I am meeting him in Colorado for the weekend and he hopes to hike to the top of the highest mountain in Colorado - Mt. Elbert. I'm hoping that I am the only one that makes to the top. The next weekend after that I am helping run a K9 water clinic for my search and rescue team. Teaching dogs to search on the water for people. Then the next weekend, Memorial day, I am flying to Maryland to help my parents pack up all there stuff and move it to Wisconsin and Mark will be there too.
