Appreciation for husband,Sunday, the 33rd

This week I must take time to pause and appreciate Corey coming home alive from hiking the Middle Teton. He has become quite the hiker. It is keeping him healthy and in the mountains he loves so much. I keep encouraging him to start a blog (Feel free to submit good names) as a means of a life history for his children. He is having some adventures many people don't/wont/cant/shan't have. Like me for instance. I basically hate adventure. I really love just being at home and doing house wifeish things. I have no desire for the level of excitement he does. I have no desire for hardly any level of excitement. I am so my mom in that area. Lets make it clear though, I do love going to a good movie or GNO night with friends. Or even a scrapbooking sleepover retreat. I can handle that for sure.

I didn't mean to turn out so boring. I just did. But I am happy.

So a few weeks ago when Corey went to hike the Middle Teton, he sends me a text from on the mountain that says he is in a sticky spot and is a little bit trapped on the mountain but not to worry. He is only a little bit nervous. Also that he can't go down so he is going to go back up and try to get unstuck. And that he loved me.

Awesome.

I maybe should be, but I am not really a worrier when it comes to Corey's adventures. I can't be or I would be worried all the time. But since two people have died this year on the Middle Teton I know it is dangerous. So after not hearing from him for about 4 hours I did start to wonder what I should do about the situation. Just as I was going to start to panic he text me and had just made it down the hill. He insists that was the soonest he could text me to tell me he was safe but I have my doubts....

Enjoy the pictures...

I know it is long but it is life altering!

C.S. Lewis- Meanwhile the cross comes before the crown and tomorrow is a Monday morning...It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you say it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. But it is immortals who we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of the kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption, and our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner - no mere tolerance, or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses."

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are course; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fotune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." Margaret D. Naduald

" Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela-
