Gear Up!!

So some of my friends know that I used to climb quite a bit, enough so that I had all of my own gear. I loved it, it was the only thing besides swimming that I could go do to de-stress, vent, or just go out and have a good time with some friends. It was right up my thrill seeking ally!
But not so much Landon's. When Landon and I got married I was the much more adventuresome one of our duo, but with school, work and being newlyweds it was just easier to put away the climbing gear and focus on what life had to bring us.
Until this year.
Im not sure what snapped in me, if it was the mundane of my job or the exhausting repetition of day to day life, but I needed so thrill back and so I drug Landon to the climbing gym one day with me!
And much to my surprise my very not so adventuresome husband loved it! over the next few weeks we went out and splurged a bit on getting him outfitted with climbing gear and I dusted off mine and we started to become climbers!
Now I am proud to say that Landon has quickly picked up on climbing and I have fallen happily back into my old niche! Now I'm just bummed we didn't start 3 years ago...It would have helped us keep of the comfortable married couple weight gain!
The best part about it is that it has really strengthened our bond and husband and wife and best friends, we enjoy challenging each other and cheering each other on!
And now that the weather has warmed up for the most part we are loving being able to go climb outside! If anyone ever wants to come with us we love having company just let me know!
I don't have many pictures of Landon and I climbing seeing that our hands are usually preoccupied but hear are a few from with we have taken my family climbing with us.



Happy Climbing!
Love Michelle
