I swung by Big Horn on Monday and after the workout, a few of us were hanging out and chatting. While I was foam rolling, Coach Kane walked over to me and asked a question that really got me thinking: “So, is this your life? Running around and playing outside?!”
I laughed and admitted that as of late, things had been pretty hectic. But, as I drove home, I started thinking about my current state a bit more, and even sent Will a text that said, “You know, we are pretty lucky.”
Because y’all, things have been absurd lately, but completely in a good way. I’ve tried my best to keep you guys posted, but in case I’ve been hard to follow, here has what has been happening:
December 26 & 27: Friends Came to Town
December 29-January 5: Grand Tetons & Yellowstone
January 8-11: Park City for the OmniGames
January 18-19: Winter Backpacking with Sierra Trading Post {Stories to Come!}
Yesterday-this Sunday: Back in Salt Lake City for Outdoor Retailer
To top it all off, guess what else? Caleb and I won the trip to Jordan! Columbia announced the top five winners on Monday night and we were psyched to learn that #OmniTeam5 had worked our way up the ladder to finish in second, securing our spot in the fifth season of the OmniTen program. {For those of you that don’t know, the Spring, 2014 OmniTen is comprised of the five winning teams from the OmniGames…so yes, I get to be an OmniTen member twice.}
Season One of the OmniTen
After this all shook out on Monday, I sat down on my couch, processing everything. It was then that I thought back to what Kane had asked me that morning: Is this really my life? I don’t need anyone to tell me how flipping lucky I am; trust me, I get it! It’s just hard to comprehend sometimes. In fact, I don’t even know how this happened. However, I do know that I am more than happy to enjoy the ride!
Once again, I’m going to be MIA while at OR since I am jam packed with appointments today through Friday. However, my life gets back to normal next week so we’ll return to regularly scheduled programming. Have a great week!
