When I was in the sixth grade, my parents, sister and I took our first vacation out to California. I had my first "taste" of the mountains.
-
When I was in my first year of college, I went to Big Sky, Montana with the ski club and was overwhelmed by the mountains.
-
Shortly after graduating from college, I began guiding bicycle tours and went to Rocky Mountain National Park for my first trip. This was the point I realized I had to live near the mountains.
-
Shortly after the tours ended for the summer, and I had spent one more cold winter in Minnesota, I had the opportunity (thanks Ben and Jesse!) to move to Missoula, MT. Although there was a drought that winter and very little snow, I knew the mountians were for me!
-
After spending the winter in Montana, I deceided to work as a tour guide again. I had the chance to explore much more of the western United States!
This is me rolling into a very small western town. Can you find it on a map? -
Yay! I finally made it to Colorado! Then the snow fell:-)

I started school again, this time to pursue my Elementary Education degree. It keeps me very busy, but I love where I live!photo
