Ready, Set, Climb!

Erik & I are always trying to do something "different" for date ideas and memories. We like to keep it spicy and alive for us. Marriage can sometimes get into a rut, but we try to keep it alive and kicking!

We both have Life List we would like to accomplish someday! Of course, I love to be adventurous and feel a little close to the edge of life. What a better way to do that is to practice rock climbing on "wall rocks." So, we could be prepared for "real rocks" later in life. Something about the adrenaline rush you get when you get to the top of the rock walls!

We both started our love affair for rock climbing! I have been rock climbing most of my life, but Erik was thrown into this last year. We decided to go back to Stonemoves, but this time we would throw in a little twist!

Meet Brad & Stefanie!

















They are such an awesome couple to hang out with! We do almost everything with  them. We are truly blessed to have each of them in our lives! We love you guys!












Here we are  getting set up! Look's like Mr. Erik is ready to rock climb!

I must say rock climbing is all about how you need to "trust" your partner! Stefanie and I did a  great job at being their  for each other! Erik & Brad challenged each other with the advanced walls.
Now, you are probably thinking why didn't the couples get paired off as partners. Well, last year I "dropped" Erik twice from 15-20 feet. So, we are still working on our trust with rock climbing. Rock climbing is a lot like marriage. If you don't have trust in your partner then your relationship won't succeed.

To gain each others trust we started with the easier rock wall then   we conquered the advanced walls. Of course, I took pictures of all the action!



























Yes! We all did extremely well rock climbing those walls! Perhaps, later down the road we will conquer the "real thing."

Words could not express how much fun we really had with Brad & Stefanie! Our stomach muscles were so sore because of all the laughing & memories we made that day!

What's next on our agenda? Who knows! Maybe Scuba diving with sharks, traveling to Bora Bora, or it may be a surprise! Tune in ...for the details
