defy the odds.

I finally did it. I climbed the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States with my best friend. We have been planning this trip since March! Mount Whitney proved our strength and endurance (just as I knew she would) and I am so grateful for experiencing this trek and all its glory.

San Gorgonio Mountain: the final challenge before our Mount Whitney excursion in 12 days! We kicked SG’s ass but it kinda kicked ours in return. Proud to announce the comparison from this hike to Baldy was like night and day. We conditioned ourselves SO thoroughly over the summer without even realizing it and SG put our strength and endurance to the test. Fortunately we passed with flying colors. Wish us luck! #sangorgonio #mountwhitney 🏔 🏕 (at San Gorgonio Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2PMchGg9bg/?igshid=7ztdbjdpe9yu

We came and we conquered our first mountain together in preparation for Mount Whitney in September and I couldn’t be more excited (and exhausted.) Love you @sierrakozminski 🥰 Cheers to many more! #mountbaldysummit (at Mount Baldy, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BywkzfjgyWV/?igshid=181t35on97m9k

Wow. Just wow. I had such a phenomenal time at Audrey & Ronnie’s wedding. Everything was so beautiful and perfect. Congratulations on your big day and for your new baby boy. Thank you SO much for having us!!! Also huge shout out to my cousin and his girl for spending some much needed quality family time! I loved every second of this evening.
