We have been itching to get out and do some hiking. It continues to snow a lot of days here. Most of the snow in the city has melted....but the mountains are still covered in snow. We decided to get out there and hike Mt. Baldy even though it is still very snowy and even pretty icy in a lot of areas. One day Sarah and I went with some of our friends Dan and Nicki and their two adorable daughters, Ellie and Mazie (and Dan's cousin, Troy). That day I had forgotten my hiking stick so I (and Nicki, Ellie, and Mazie) did not go all the way to the top. If I don't have my hiking stick or Matthew I never go to the top of Baldy because it is very steep towards the top. In the winter it is very slick and icy and in the summer there are lots of very loose rocks. Then, Sarah and I went and hiked Mt. Baldy a second time with our friend Amanda. This time I had my hiking stick so I made it all the way to the top :) It was gorgeous. It is always so refreshing to get out and hike and enjoy the outdoors.

I am so blessed to have so many great friends up here to surround me and hang out with me while Matthew is gone. I miss him so terribly. I am so ready for him to be home. Can't wait!!! But, in the mean time I am so thankful for everyone here who has been taking care of me while he's been gone! Hopefully he'll be home in two or three weeks :)
