DATE: July 25
ENTRY: It was an early morning today although not nearly as early as Montana mornings.  Yesterday was great. I was really excited to see Ashley. She's been begging and pleading with her parents for months to meet us and send the states and here, at nearly our last stop, she made it. It's been awesome. If you're ever wondering what will happen if you train too much let her know and se can give you all the gory details. 

Today we ventured back to the top and got on a few more boulders. We officially named a problem after SendTheStates, well, as officially as we have the power to do.  Then we called it a day and took off for....ice cream!!  There, in a Dairy Queen wanna be ice cream store, Ashley downed the largest Oreo Blizzard I've ever seen and then topped it off with my leftovers from a medium cone. She's an ice cream monster.

After a slow start on the drive out we made great time back to Nashville. Ahhh, it's good to be home.  I sent a postcard from Missouri inviting my best friend to lunch at our favorite spot in Nashville. I hope she gets it in time. Or maybe she'll just read this. Either way, fingers crossed.  

 
DATE: July 26
ENTRY: Today's a special day for climbing at Climb Nashville, the local gym. They have a really amazing group called WE, Women's Empowerment through climbing, and they're inviting kids from a low income area to the gym today. The cool thing about it is that my mom was really involved in getting it together.  So there at the gym I call home is all this talk about my mom. Very strange. See, I told you she's into climbing. Now if I could only get her into a harness...
