Today is my birthday! Happy New Year’s Eve to all of you. 2018 was unforgettable- I summited 72 peaks, near and far, including the 6th highest peak in the world, with 489,704 human-powered vertical feet of uphill (which is equivalent to climbing about 100 flights of stairs a day for the entire year). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀But by far, my favorite moment of the year was proposing to my best friend, @rob.lea, and having him say yes. We have big plans for 2019, and I can’t wait to say “I do!” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I’m also grateful we’re at a time in society where I could ask for Rob’s hand in marriage. To other women who are thinking about popping the question- there is nothing wrong with proposing to your man, and for speaking up and asking for what you want. Only the insecure person is emasculated by a woman who speaks up and asks for what she wants. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Thank you all for your love and support! I can’t wait to keep sharing mountain adventures in the new year!
