This is the life! Kayak lessons start this week. I am very excited. I have also signed up for UVU for the fall semester. I am excited but also a little frustrated. I have to catch back up on math which will take a few semesters. I hope that I am able to do so fast enough. I have decided upon a Physics degree. I hope to be able to find a niche that I am able to make a career with this degree. If I can find the right program I may go on to get a masters degree. This is all very difficult to decide.
As far as the kayaking picture. I am in the Jordan River. You can see from the nervous look on my face how annoying the current is. This month will be a very interesting one in my kayaking pursuits. I will have my lessons. But I will also be going down the Green River up Swayzee's canyon with the UWC. I get to see what I am made of in whitewater. I really hope that one of you ends up picking up whitewater with me. I would love to share my hopeful Grand Canyon experience with one of you. This is what is driving me to take up this new sport. Before Jarrett was born I read an article in National Geographic Adventure. It was about a trip down the Grand on a kayak. It was very exhilarating just to read it, let alone dream of doing it myself. I wanted to take up the sport then. If I would have I would have been in better physical shape at that point. But now with my 2 children at an age that is more manageable. I am hoping that my dreams will become a reality.
Here is a link to a write up of a Grand Canyon trip: (link)
This is a decent description.

How exciting that you actually went out and kayaked! That is cool. did you end up rolling over at all? that is what would scare me! I think it is neat that you are going into physics. Good luck.
Glad to hear that you're having fun with the kayak. School ought to keep you busy along with work, family, and hobbies. Way to go! We have Ryan, Greg, Christian, and you all in college this year. Kudos to you all. Tell Judy we'd like to hear from her on the blog.
