43 Things & Our List is Growing

So. A while back – as in like over a year ago, I signed up on 43things.com – and could only muster a short list of about 11 things. It’s grown to 23things now – and I’ve even completed a few of the ‘goals’ that I put down. However, getting up to 43things and making it not a list of stuff like, read more, watch less, etc. is getting to be difficult. I mean. For me 23things is a lot. Especially when they’re sort of measurable goals. But I think I’ll put camping down. I want to go camping again sometime before winter – we attempted last year, but that was… not as successful as we would have hoped.

Basically, we arrived up there in Northern Georgia on a Friday afternoon and all of the spaces were taken up – half of them were taken by people who actually LIVE up there anyways. So that sucks. Instead of driving home though, we asked a large group if we could just take up residence for the night just off their own ‘official’ campsite. (and yes, we drove to several campsites and trust me, they were ALL full) So we had a good first night… and only night because the next morning the park ranger came by and told us to get out of there – but in a nice way so it’s not like we were all offended. However, it still sucked to have to leave after only one night when we were planning on two.  These photos are from a camping trip Leah and I took in Sedona, Arizona. It was quite awesome and beautiful and we had a really great time. She even learned to skip rocks!

So. Put Camping down on the list. Along with…some others in there for fun.
