Way to go! I am really impressed with your fantastic attitude and your dedication to the goal you set for yourself. I'm so happy that it turned out to be a great experience.<BR/><BR/>Side note...when I was reading the part where you were deciding about whether or not to turn back and thinking about making it another two hours it made me think of being in labor...those are the same thoughts i had then! The only difference is when you're in labor there is no turning back! : )fullerfivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13800236638437948388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270374569821794222.post-89433031201395190282008-09-09T21:26:00.000-07:002008-09-09T21:26:00.000-07:00You bet, wana come with me?Brian McFarlanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07065282476614095321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270374569821794222.post-58389338320289315102008-09-09T00:52:00.000-07:002008-09-09T00:52:00.000-07:00Wow man!

I could feel the joy in your words. But, each time we spoke today it was clearly obvious how much this event meant to you. Your voice was beaming and we could hear the pride in your words. This was certainly a huge undertaking. You researched, trained, and prepared for many months. Diana was also a supportive and encouraging part of your success. We are very proud of you and happy knowing this climb was such a rewarding experience for you. As your parents, we worried, but were always in your corner!Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13186191136495505228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270374569821794222.post-62348541172361770842008-09-08T17:24:00.000-07:002008-09-08T17:24:00.000-07:00Brian, what an amazing accomplishment.
