I’m in!
I know it’s been awhile since I’ve updated, but James arrived on Australia Day and I’ve been trying to spend as much time with him as possible, since he’s only here for two weeks and I won’t get to see him again for 5 1/2 months. We had a good Australia Day, complete with an Aussie BBQ. No, James didn’t put shrimp on the barbie, but we did have great steak burgers, caramelized sweet potatoes, and potato wedges with sweet chili & sour cream.
The big news I got yesterday was that I was accepted to the Three Peaks Challenge in May! I thought I’d be pretty low on the waiting list, having only applied for a spot in January, but apparently someone dropped out and I’m in. Even better was that I talked to my grandparents about it, and they approved and somewhat promised not to try to drive me to Bristol. That means I’m actually going! I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I probably wouldn’t go because my mother was so dead-set against asking my grandparents to let me go, so I’m just amazed right now, and so excited. I’m filling out the official forms tomorrow and am going to set up a justgiving website to start raising money for the Meningitis Trust. I think I can raise the £375 in time, and hopefully can raise even more for the cause. Now, to start training and get hiking boots to break in…
