The Retired Deso Queen Visits her old Canyon.

WARNING IN THESE PICTURES I HAVEN'T SHOWERED IN DAYS!

So my cute brother Jesse invited me to go down Desolations Canyon with him on his free trip. He is a guide down in Moab for the same company that I worked for. It was great fun! Karen, or better known as K-Love was on the trip as well. She and I were first years together. It was just like old times. I didn't realized how much I miss the river until the first night when Karen and I were sitting on the boats reminiscing about old times. I can honestly say that working on the river was the best memories I have. No offense to any of my friends, it is just that the river was the place that I found myself. I realized who I am and who I want to be. I was myself down there and didn't have to put up any fronts or pretend I was someone that I am really not just to look good. Sorry I know I am mumbling. I am so grateful that I had those summers to find myself. I consider myself lucky to have figured that out so young. Also I would be married to my cute hubby had I not worked down there. Thanks Jesse for taking me on a trip through memory lane. I loved spending so much time with you and getting to know you better. It was fun seeing you as an adult and a leader, you are a really great river guide and WWE is really lucky to have you working for them.

So I am totally jealous. When you told me about your trip alone (well sort of alone), it makes me just ooze with jealousy. But totally jealous in a good way, like "I am so glad you got to go", but "gee, I really wish it were me" jealous. =) Have a great day!

It's awesome you got to go back down there. The river, whichever river you happen to find yourself on, is such an amazing place for exploration and just what it does for your life. I pretty much owe my working for Western to you via Brad and Jenny, so thanks! and I'm stoked you got to go again.
