Healin' Up, and some BIG NEWS

It's officially been two months since my ski accident, and I'm still feeling it every time I get out of bed, or when forget that I'm banged up and try and jump off a curb or get into my car faster than I should.

The MRI results weren't good, but they weren't horrible either. I have an MCL strain (whew!) with a fibular bone bruise (eak!). All together It should be about 2.5 months of recovery time... hopefully only a few more weeks until I can throw down on some warm spring stone.

Now on to the BIG NEWS.

I've been offered a job with the National Forest Service, and I accepted! I will be working 4 days a week and 6 months out of the year with the Forest Service as a Forestry Technician. I'll be outside all day, everyday... using my degree.

The other big news is that I also accepted a position with an internet climbing media company called PodClimber. I'm a sales rep, and I'll work selling content and maintaining and acquiring relationships with anything related to climbing that we wish to promote or produce.

This all boils down to me being happy at my job, outside... and having plenty of time for climbing!

Looks like 62 degrees and sunny on Sunday... I'll follow up here with an update on how the day goes. I've got a trip to Red Rocks in Nevada in about 2 weeks, so hopefully it'll feel top notch!
