1) Get hitched (June 28)

2) Bike tour of Yellowstone (week before the wedding)

3) Climb Grand Teton (Exum direct - June 30ish)

4) Climb Mt. Rainier - this was supposed to occur prior to the wedding trip, however, due to a lazy winter and busy schedule it has been postponed until afterward.

There you have it, our upcoming activities. Matt has never done a 50 mile bike race and this will be Mel's first foray into the ultra world. Guess we better get training!

Not so sure about this...

After some thought and consideration, along with the acknowledgment that we are terrible about picking up the phone, I have decided maybe a blog might be a good idea. As you can see from the mights and maybes I am still not sold on this idea. Also, notice I stared off speaking of I, from here I will continue with we. The blog may be my idea but I am dragging Matt down with me. Where was I, ah yes, when did we become so important that people really care to read about what we are doing?? At the very least maybe our parents will be interested, you can usually count of them to care about your daily life.

There is another perk of this blog, it will keep us honest to the adventures we are talking about doing. When it is something discussed between the two of us it is fairly easy to back out. When others know about our plans, well, it makes it harder to wuss out. Coming soon - a list of adventures in the works.

So, with that we send our inaugural blog out to the w.w. web.
