My Sunflower Girl


"Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes - every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man." Orison Swett Marden

Let the Fun Begin

Okay, we've been planning and saving to take a year-long trek for years, and it's finally around the corner. Right now we're thinking about heading out of here in early April to go on a 186-mile hike in Nepal, called the Annapurna Circuit. No plans beyond that yet. We're trying not to make a lot of plans or have a lot of expectations so our trip can evolve into...well, whatever it's meant to be.

Jason won't let me bring more than one carry-on backpack, so I'm a little scared to try packing. So far we've bought a bunch of stuff, but Jason insists that he can survive the whole year with only one pair of chonies (underwear). That scares me even more than trying to squish my belongings into a carry-on. Yikes!!!
