Summer Lovin, Had me a Blast...

42 degree water

11 complete strangers

10 Hours in the car round trip

9    hours I waited to go potty at the gas station

8 hours of sleep total

4 Runs down the river (also the level of rapids we were hitting)

3  days of going non-stop

2 the number of times Aaron got thrown in the river

1 completely awesome time river rafting

0 the effectiveness of wet suits against freezing cold water!

I'm so excited, I just can't hide it.

The summer was looking pretty dismal, summer school, No A/C, U2 concert canceled, and nothing remotely close to a trip or vacation in sight. I was feeling resigned to school and heat and already desperately needing a break from both. Until I found this lovely little gem...

University of Utah's Cooperative Adventure trips 

I immediately called Aaron and we both promptly decided to "Just Do it." We will be running the Snake River in WY, and here is the best part. We don't have to plan a thing! They've already got the campsites, the gear, the guides, the food, and the transportation. All I have to do is pay them (which is a smoking deal because we are students &staff) and show up and get on the bus!

I'm soo excited it even brought back my desire to blog!
