For those of you reading that haven't used the link I have for my wonderful friends Dustan and Betsy - they are finishing the Appalachian Trail -- (yes, the whole freaking thing!) And I just have to give a shout-out to them! (for more on their wild adventure -- click on the dang link!)

Bets, I remember when you won that award at the Honor Academy and gave that rocking speech about building monuments at defining points in our lives- like when Joshua took the people across the Jordan River and they built this sweet pile of rocks that the priests had stood on in the river- where they carried the presence of God in their backpacks.... yeah, well, ... at the end of that speech that inspired my whole community of microwave-mature friends- I stood and clapped and cried and rejoiced that you were the one who had been honored to speak to us that night. There is something of 100%maplesyrup love when you feel rewarded when your friends receive their reward. "...we will rejoice when you are victorious!"

Can't wait to catch up after you spend some time acclimating back to bath and body work showers and electric vegetable choppers.
