So just what have I been up to since closing this chapter of my life you ask? SO MUCH! A little WanderlustI celebrated graduation by spending almost 3 weeks in Europe. It was such an incredible experience... and because of my new hip, I was able to fully enjoy every minute of it. If any of you have ever been to the Greek Isles you know just how many big, uneven stairs there are throughout the island. I can't even imagine being able to manage all those stairs with the way my hip felt before PAO. I was so thrilled to find that I had absolutely no problem with them on our trip! We did so many fun things on our trip that required a ton of walking- like visiting Plitvicka National Park in Croatia or walking the streets Prague in search of the best goulash or hiking the hills between the little towns of Cinque Terre in Italy. No matter what we did or where we went, my hip was ready to go. I couldn't have been more thankful for these surgeries and the life I am now able to live. Backpacking in the Rocky MountainsThe week before I moved to Salt Lake City, my friends and I took a little backpacking trip to Conundrum Hot Springs just outside Aspen, CO. If you haven't heard of this place, you gotta check it out. It's a long trek in (especially with all your gear!), but it is totally worth it! Breathtaking views and natural mountain hot springs awaits you at the top. It was so much fun... and absolutely no problem for my new hip :) 14,000 ft of funThis new hip and I have also been keeping busy this summer by climbing some 14ers... 5 of them to be exact! There is no better feeling in the world than summiting a mountain and being able to see for miles around you. You are literally on top of the world... It's a magical experience to say the least! If you would have told me this time last year that I would be climbing 14ers just 1 year out of surgery, I would have thought you were crazy!
