Year of 32

New post for a new year!  New year of Melanie!!!

A lighter post because this, I've decided, is going to be a lighter and more fun year than last year :)

My weekend turning 32 was spent in Leavenworth and it was delightful.  I was spoiled by Will and all my lovely friends and family with cards, presents, calls and generally just nice thoughts.  After dinner Will and I took a walk around Sleeping Lady Resorts grounds and saw a momma deer and her baby fawn eating their dinner.  They were so close we could almost touch them and they weren't even scared!

Then we saw a bunch of horses eating their supper, too ;)  Naturally I went over to them and petted them for about 20 minutes.  And then went home and ate ice cream cake.... thank you Jonas, Shawn and Will!

Instead of getting "older" I've decided I will only get "better."  Starting now.  And I will focus this year on fun and exciting things I want to do.  Like climb in Red Rocks again with my own private guide ---- BOOKED! Check!  My list for 32 is long and continues to grow.  So check back periodically to see what I'm doing. 

I feel like I missed posting most of last year so I'll include a highlight or two in my photos below.  I will try to do better this year but no promises --- I'll be busy living!









Back when I was 31 I did stuff like...
Hiked the Rim-to-Rim of the Grand Canyon (Oct 2014)










 Went to London and Barcelona



Bartha...







Went to Japan...
































I think I'll pause there for just a bit.  Sensory/information overload with Japan.  Plus I should probably actually write something about it.  But I likely won't (b/c I haven't even gotten around to telling you about Thailand and Cambodia from last April....).  At least you got some pictures!

I'll try to sprinkle some of my last year's adventures into future posts maybe as flashbacks ;)  You can see it was a busy year, a hard year on many fronts, but also a great year for me.  I'm fortunate to get to travel and explore.
