time in between

below is yosemite, the craggy looking rocks are mt whitney

Well, there wasn't much time in between getting engaged and getting married....about 2 months...it was stressful, but enough time! And i got to go on a sweet trip with my sis that we'd been planning for months...we hiked Mt Whitney in N. California...it's the highest point in the continuous US...almost 15,000 ft. It was rad.

We went to yosemite first to do some warmup hikes...that was way fun...it was rad to be just us...then the big day came...we did it all in one day (which, if i were to do it again, i'll do it in 2 days) so we left at about 3:30am to get up to the base at about 4. It was pitch dark and we had our headlamps and our bearmase ready (it was pretty scary actually! Picture hiking in the middle of nowhere in the pitch dark!) but it was rad...it was cool to see the other hikers way ahead of us...their headlamps looked like little fireflys in the night sky...it was honestly one of the coolest things i've ever done...

About 8 hrs later we were at the top...and you could definetely tell you had less air...the altitude was tough...it was really tough on kel...she didn't do so good....but probably cause she had been stressing out the week before we left planning a bridal shower for me! Its amazing what your body reveals about itself when its 15,000 ft above sea level...

the way down was rough, but pretty sweet...we were definelty anxious to get down...all in all, we had a blast...i love my sister! I did miss mike though...you know how it is when you're engaged and all lovey!! awe...
