And He was Large in Stature

I want a man who is large in stature. I want people to describe us as "She's really short and he's like SUPER taller than her." I want people to giggle a little at out engagements because we look so ridiculous and great together. At our wedding I want him to have to pretty must pick me up to kiss me. I want him to have to sit in my side of the familie's family pictures so he doesn't steal the show because he's so much taller than everyone. I want to have him get the sugar from the top shelf because I con't reach it. I want people to tell us that we're like Babet and Morry. I want buy him shoes that I can fit my babies into. I want my sons to be as tall as he is. Ha ha I want a man who is large in stature.

Dog Days

Hahah oh my day went all WRRRong. I'm a terrible guide and a horrible person. Poor little girl.
I'll just word it all fast, I feel like I have to blog lately and don't really want to.
She was terrified. Super TERRIFIED. And I didn't get it. Kevin switched guide modes and I kept with the funny hope-ya'll-are-safe act and it was a bad Idea. She ended up not even trying the first zip and three people got off.
This is when I lost a man card. I drove the Polaris up the mountain and on my way back down I could figure out why it would move. It sounded like it was out of gas. And we tried a bunch of things to get it going and nothing worked. So I radioed the office and they said a bunch of things . . . end of the story is that they came up and all it was the e brake. Nuts.

Oh My Days

Friday.
I decided to accompany Hobbsie on the morning ride today. This means wake up very early. Worth it, I absolutely loved it. Its was the most beautiful I've seen the trees. I knew it would be and I've always wanted to and I'm glad I went. Plus Hobbsie is so awesome. Such a dynamite guy. The only nut balls part about it was the big a spiders I saw. Ooo, I don't want to talk about.
Saturday.
Started early, which is what I want in life. First tour, Koreans. I was so happy, Kevin loves Koreans. And the mom was SO cute, I loved her. She kept saying OOH! That was so fun! (Korean accent) And at the end of the tour they wanted to take us out to lunch! How great is that! Its a tip we didn't have to share really. Its was awesome. Plus there was a guy on the tour who was high up in Disney who gave me a fifty for my tip. I was so excited to show Kevin what the guy gave us. I tell him only to find out that Kev Kev got one too. Thanks silent Disney guy, I guess you had a good time.

I swam I swim

These events may or may not sound a little more dramatic then they are but they most definitely happened . . .
Today we the power couple start a tour at around three thirty with the tallest most giant people in the world. Everyone was at least six two! What! Even Kevin looked small.
A storm was supposed to come in but we booked it and did it for the weather looked just fine for another two hours. Then I see the thunder, I hear the lightning. But we decide to hurry along anyway. When I send off the last person from High Chesty I see it. I see the lightning! Its right here! I'm thinking shoot, we've got to skadadle when I look across the line and my heart shakes for the six foot six inch boy didn't make it. He didn't make it all the way, he came back to the belly of the line. We honestly really don't have time for this.
What do you do? Well Kevin just has to go get him. Bless his heart, the thunder will be terrifying in a lightning storm. I'm worried and stranded on High Chesty. And I feel like it just gets worst so I radio the office. They encourage us to continue for we are almost finished with the tour. Ok, understandable. But its getting worse and Kevin just got in. So I zip over and Kev Kev and I agree that we need to get down. I radio office and tell them to get the frick up here! So they're on their way, the rain is pouring wetness, and I jump down to get the belay bag.
We are scrambling to get it set up. Kev rocks the prussic, I OWN the munter. And we start. The Polaris comes. We're all wet. I mean we are WET! And we get every one down. The guides scramble down the hole. We scramble down the mountain of foot, falling in the mud. Its wet. The thunder is loudy.
Mean while, down at the barn the power is out and C.L.I.M.B Works people are waiting with out me knowing. I'm not going to lie, when we pulled into the parking lot and everyone cheered for us I felt like THE champion for like a second. Puddles in my shoes, jeans sticking to my body, water running down my everything champion.
I love my job, today was a good day.

Movin' Trees, Gettin' dirty

Bah! Grossest thing happened to me. Day off and we were at the pool. I got some water stuck into my throat and started a coughing fit. Coughed so much that I threw up a little in my mouth. So I got out of the pool so spit it out. SICK! And then the coughing started up again then I felt the puke coming up so I threw up in my hand and pretty much at the exact same time I threw it over the fence. Yes. I threw my puke. It was thick and just a huge chunk in my hand. Rough.
And this place called Tennessee is doing the weirdest things to me. Today I was jamming out to the country music these kids listen too and LOVING it. This is weird. This isn't me what the heck.
Oh what did I do today at my awesome job?
Polaris trained. Done.
Moved trees off the mountain. Done.
Mini tour of two world travelers? Yes.
Super dirty and sweaty and grossie. Ya kind of.
