gone trekin.

for something i entirely loathed four years ago, and refused to never do again. i was astonished at how much fun i had on trek. in fact it might be my second favorite thing i've done this summer.

i especially loved my family. they were amazing and we had a blast together. our experiences on trek consisted of..sitting on a school bus for 6 hours.. and we walked...and walked...and waited...and walked...and walked...and walked...and waited...and walked...and walked...and hydrated...maybe urinated (had to GO)...and walked...and walked...and walked...and pushed...BAGER HOLE!!! and pulled...and walked...and walked...and got rabies...and walked...and walked... and walked...and slept??? and walked...and walked... and walked... and blistered...and walked...and bled... and laughed...and cried...and walked... and screamed...and walked... and tents collapsed...and walked...and "iv"ed... and walked... and walked...and got wet...and walked... and ate...and walked... and got dehydrated...and "half-wayed"...and walked... and walked... and walked... and star tripped...and walked... at least we're not dead... yet. 

i love you anderson family! and our adventures (: thanks for helping me see that i can do hard things. and that i also don't have to do hard things alone.

we are young.

we go hike the G.

and then we go to the lake to do a polar bear plunge. 

thanks for an epic day annika, carson, and jd (:

what is this fluffy stuff?

it's beginning to look a lot like chirstmas.

good thing it's almost march. 

snow?

it isn't a lot. but i've never been happier to wake up and see snow on my lawn.

i hurt... EVERYWHERE

this weekend i...
- hiked a half marathon
- learned how to pee in the wild
- learned how to change a tampon in the wild
- never been so cold in my life
- or shivered so much in my life
- repelled down some rocks.
- climbed down a waterfall
- cannon balled off a ledge into a pool of water infested with logs.
- swam, walked, and waded through ice cold water.
- me and annika were always the caboose
- got sick the night before this extravaganza. so lets just say my cold got worse times ten.
- ate wendys at 11:00 at night. that's gross.
- i think my leaders thought i was going to get hypothermia. because they told me multiple times. "bre! keep moving your arms!!"
-  at the last miles thought i wasn't going to make it. because i was so cold, tired, and hungry. and my body hurt so bad that it felt like my legs were 10 pounds every time i took a step.
- i saw my friends struggle and they saw me struggle.
- i saw my friends triumph and they saw me triumph.
- i all in all had a good time. and it was a blast!

i will share some pictures with you soon.
