This past weekend we went camping at Baker, a first for me. I'd done some hiking (such as the gruesome-but-gorgeous Church Mt trail), but I'd never gone right up to the mountain before. It sure is gorgeous. There is something about Washington in the late summer, even a true Californian such as myself is in awe of the breathtaking beauty. I wish I had brought my camera; the iphone pics really don't do it justice. It was really nice to get away with some of Jeff's friends and rough it for a night- sometimes it feels like that doesn't happen enough anymore. Things haven't exactly been "normal" lately; I have been working a ton (for me, anyway), and my sleep schedule is even more messed up than usual- I'll go to bed between 3-5am and wake up by 8am and try to get a nap in if I can. My insomnia has hit a whole new level. Or, maybe I am just enjoying my last months of nighttime alone time before I switch shifts and have to start acting like a normal person, who knows. There is so much on my mind right now. One thing I do know, I am super sad that summer is wrapping up. I'm not ready for fall yet. Like everything else, it just went by way too fast. It's like they say, those best things end before you even realize it started. Wow, it really must be 1am since I am not making much sense. But yeah....that Baker sure is beautiful!
