The Demise!

Three things that led to the demise of our blog entries:

1. our computer broke
2. Katy randomly lost all abilities to communicate (don't worry, she is currently being outfitted with a voice box and enrolled in a program which is teaching her to combine fridge magnets to form phrases and sentences that will help her complete daily tasks.)
3. Our trip actually ended....oops, did we forget to mention that?


I don't want anyone to fret about this...our lives will go on post "chix rock climbing tour", well, at least we hope so. In all actuality our trip ended a couple of months ago and we have been in 100% denial...hence complete avoidance of all things that would make the end of our trip known...like, i don't know, a blog site formed around the existence of our trip, for instance.

So, even though our blog entries were the one thing that continued to make our trip tangible; as the end of our trip neared, our money dwindling as we headed west towards the setting sun, we retreated from the computer in attempt to make the trip last longer. I am still not sure I have come to terms with a life that does not revolve around my best friend and the camaraderie that develops between car-mates, climbing partners, and giggle infested tromps through the mud in search of the elusive turtle. But my spirits are high as the daily phone rants between Katy and myself consist only of a road trip east, our reappearance at Sturgis, and a plane ride across the ocean for a climbing/adventure destination not yet known (set to take off in fall of 08').

So, keep checking back (if you haven't already given up) for details about the end of our trip. I can't guarantee they will ever come, as we may choose to live in the everlasting glow of this adventure. But, there will be more adventures to come, outcome sure to be the same (read: too much fun and laughter, ridiculous blog updates and stories, denial towards the inevitable ending, the end, recuperating, then more plans for another trip....and so the cycle repeats).

Until then, friends.
