On Thursday I went hiking with the goal of getting to South Sandia Peak. With more than 2 miles left to go I was pretty sure I wasn't going to make (I had to get to work that afternoon too) and Mark called me on his lunch break. He suggested another peak just to the south of Embudo Canyon, Peak 7840. So I managed to make that one.
On this Thursday, I will drive up to Colorado to meet Mark for a hike up Mt. Elbert, Colorado's tallest mountain at 14,433 feet. Whew! Hopefully we make it on Friday and then can enjoy the success of that hike for the next 2 days.
Today my younger brother turns 30. And we celebrate my mom (also known sometimes as "mommalupe" or "mommaloo"). Nate and I definitely plan to celebrate her and how much she cared and cares for us next week (May 18-27) when mom comes to Albuquerque!
