Lazy Saturday

So I'm sitting here in my living room in the sunshine thinking about how nice it is to simply enjoy the quiet. Lauren is napping in a chair across the room and I'm not too far behind. About the only thing that would make this better is a good book (which I am lacking at the moment) and a dog lying by my side.

Lately I've been wistfully thinking about the mountains. I really need some wide open spaces to go and wander about.... I'm getting restless again. Here is a picture of what I need to find and explore....unfortunately its over 3000 miles away....

I took that while on my honeymoon with Lauren. Now I seem to be captive to the urban (suburban) environment with little in the way of prospects to explore wilderness. That probably won't change while I'm in graduate school at U of M but I amgoing to need to find an outlet at some point.
