Isn’t she beautiful!!!

I got my pack in yesterday and it’s so pretty!!!!!! I LOVE it. Green is my favorite color so I kind of wish I would have gotten the green but the purple is pretty and it will match my Eeyore! I love Eeyore so I will probably be bringing one along with me for the ride. Maybe I’ll name my pack Eeyore. lol  I’m going to get some sheepskin and have my dad’s aunt sew it into the shoulder straps (idea from Muk Muk) and I can’t sew so that is why I need help lol… I can’t wait to get started. Now all I need is my sleeping bag, tent, stove, and pad to get started on some overnight adventures!! 

My little cousins thought the pack was amazing lol My cousin Megan said that she could fit in the pack (which is probably true). I love that my family is so supportive of this adventure that I want to take. I can’t wait to get started!!!

Peace!

 

Slowly working out the kinks

I’m very new to blogging so it has taken me awhile, and many, many, many theme changes to get this blog up and running smoothly. Every time I try something it doesn’t look right, or it’s too light or too dark. I think that I am slowly working out the kinks. I now have a layout that I like and I finally was able to put up a background that kind of works. Anyone else have trouble with blogging? Sometimes I feel like I started this blog way too early, I’m not even hiking until 2015!!!!!!!! Yet, I think that this is helping me stay motivated. There was a time when I started thinking about doing this hike back in April, and I was super motivated but it tapered off as I got busy with other life happenings. With this blog I can come back to it on a daily or weekly basis and it keeps me motivated to research new things and stay in the forefront of my mind. Not that this is a problem, actually I have a problem with thinking about it too much. I find my self daydreaming about the hike and then losing focus on other tasks (like grad school). oops!    

I don’t have much to blog about this week. I got my new shoes, and I’m going to go on a little day hike this weekend (possibly Saturday and Sunday). I ordered my pack, and pack cover (it came with a free mini Sawyer water filter!!). I also ordered a pretty sweet PCT Buff, I’m excited to get that in (I’ll take pictures later).   

I’ll post pictures and write a little post about my day hike over at Turkey Mt. here in Tulsa on Saturday. Its starting to get pretty cold here in Tulsa. It dropped to about 18 degrees last night! I’m hoping that the weather isn’t too cold on Saturday for my hike. Brrrr 🙂

Pack..

 I ordered my pack! I got the ULA Catalyst in Purple, along with a pack cover. It is also coming with a free sawyer mini filter. Hopefully I can get my sleeping bag, and tent for Christmas this year. Then I’ll be set for this summer for my short weekend hikes. I’m going to do what Muk Muk did and sew sheepskin onto the straps for added comfort. I know it’s early to buy my pack but I just couldn’t help it!!!! It will be good to use on my training hikes.
