You are AMAZING Paxton!! For a guy that didn't even have his leg muscles attached six months ago, it is pretty unbelievable that you just climbed the tallest peak in Utah. Twenty eight miles (32 if you count the extra miles you had to backtrack because you forgot the camera) and 6,000 feet is big deal for anyone, let alone someone who has only been walking for three months! I'm so glad you get to have that time for you and your dad. You will have to keep up this tradition with our boys. I only hope you can find enough mountains close so you don't have to be gone so long. (And no, I won't move to Alaska for that :) I also appriciate that you took pictures of the little yellow flowers for me. I am your sunflower after all. Just like you said, I need my daily dose of sunshine or I start to wilt. (Although I got a little fried from my dose of sunshine yesterday! Shocking, I know!)
I'm excited for our next adventure now! I can't believe that I'm going to be able to run a 10k. My borthers and sisters were always the runners, not me. I don't like running but it is good to feel like an athlete again. I did 5 1/2 miles while you were gone! I've NEVER ran that far before. Now, after four babies, two back surgeries and being all 31 years old, I'm personal records. Heck Yeah!! Try not to beat me too badly in the race though. I don't know if my new little running ego could handle being pounded by a guy that spent three months on crutches.
You rock my world and I'm soooo lucky to be your wife (even if you come home with a mountain man beard and I won't let you kiss me till you shave ;)
