Bouldering

On Friday Jonah and I decided it was past time for me to try out my new climbing shoes that we've had for about a month now. We called up Heidi and Phil and they met us at slick rock. I was excited because this was not only to try out my shoes, it was my first time bouldering!


This was the third and hardest one we did. Heidi and I both struggled with the move that I am attempting in this picture. You had to get all your weight to you right leg which as you can tell was practically in my armpit. There weren't really any hand holds except one which was pretty far to the right so I had a hard time being able to use it at all. We tried a few times each and then Phillip finally gave Heidi the slightest bit of help and then she made it to the top. Naturally my Chandler competive spirit kicked in and I had to try it again. I got the same bit of help and made it as well.


Trying to get the above mentioned move.

This Just In....

(A special news announcement)

A couple of weeks ago I took the CBEST which is the first of a few tests you need to pass to become a teacher. It would also allow me to start substitute teaching. Today we recieved the results and I passed! My overall score was a 139 and you need at least a 117 to pass. The news came just in time for the holidays. What a great suprise! The end.

COS Dance Recital

This semester at COS I took two dance classes: ballet and modern. At the end of each semester there is a recital in the COS theatre. I love dancing and enjoy being up on the stage so it's always something I look forward to.

This is ballet, we danced to Angel by Sarah Mclachlan.


Modern was supposed to represent hell.
