I started a new job in July and have loved absolutely everything except for my phone. I rely heavily on caller ID to help me not be totally awkward when someone calls me and my phone didn't have it. Well, ask and you shall receive! Here's my new phone with caller ID!

Ben in the rental center with NEW SHELVES!

Hadley, Sarah, and Indie on what might have been the crankiest day of climbing ever (for Hads and for me)

Amy and Matt in town for the night and for breakfast!

Ollie learning that rakes don't play.

My friend Hadley waking up at Raquette Lake

I got invited to join for a quick overnight to Raquette Lake for the last night of the outdoor orientation program. Sarah and I arrived and were greeted by baby Hadley's fan club.

All set up for Outreach (service orientation program) group to come over and make dinner - the challenge - dinner on $20 for the whole group and the host family. They made grilled cheese, vegetables and rice pilaf. Not bad.

Ben showing Ollie how fun it is to wear a cone of shame

Gorgeous day of friends and fun.

Yep. Abby really did belay like that.

Debby dancing at the surprise party she threw for her husband and son.

Brunch at the end of a weekend with Ben's family

Ben's mom and aunt dance on our last gathering at Ben's childhood home.

Ollie always has a hard time settling when we travel. Here he is at Ben's mom's house trying to get comfy.

I am really unclear as to how this pillow got to over to the other couch.

Ben setting up a climb

I like to say that Ollie and Ginger are headed out for a date in this picture and to emphasize that this is NOT posed. Ginger was just sitting in the car for a while after she and Abby had arrived. So one of us opened up the driver's side door to see if she'd get out, and Ollie hopped in, ready to drive her wherever she wanted to go - except no keys!

Selfie with the coolest thing in my office in the background

Poor attempt at a selfie in my office.

Shhhh... Don't tell Ben I took this picture.

Ollie + pile of camping gear. What's new?
