I've been wanting to change the background of this place for about a year and every time Jake asks me if I need help, I remember how long it takes and change my mind. so we finally did it last night. I mean, Jake did. I was tired and went to bed while he was working on it still. so nice of him, right? that html stuff exhausts me. so anyway, there are probably a few things I'm going to [ask Jake to] change, but I really like it. the background is just some fabric I bought in Boston with Julie that we scanned in. clever, eh? here are some pictures of some of the hikes we went on.






This one says "triumph"
