well, i'm back from the climbing trip to leavenworth. we got rained on. i will try to not listen to j in the future when the weather reports say one thing, and he claims they're wrong. :) it wasn't that much rain, and it was mostly just when we were in the car or the tent. i'll post pics later. last night i couldn't sleep, so i took a nap later this morning for a couple hours, and woke up for the second half of the usa-czech republic world cup game. we lost - not a great beginning, but it's just one game, right? next one is at 12pm this saturday, usa vs italy. good luck to us!!!
