One of my husband’s and my favorite shows this winter was ‘Beyond the Limit’ on the Discovery Channel. It was an awesome show about a team of hikers climbing Mt. Everest and all the dangers that go along with it. I was pregnant at the time that the show aired and I was having some amazing dreams. Every night I dreamed we were climbing Everest. Now because I was pregnant and my baby was pressing on my lungs to capacity, I really thought I was there where there is 50% less oxygen.
My husband is a very active man. If we had the resources and I gave him the OK, he would climb it in a minute! No hesitation. Unfortunately for him, he’s married to a very cautious and worrying wife that would never ever in a billion years allow him to go on such an adventure.
Well, I was searching the web one day and I came across a Mt. Everest site. On the site they gave just Basecamp tours. I understand that to Basecamp is higher than I’ve ever hiked but I figure maybe a Yak would give me a lift. So, it’s official! I’ve put Mt. Everest on my List to do before I die! I’m so excited! Now, don’t expect the pictures to come anytime soon. I’m sure it’s at least a decade away before we do this. I’m starting the Mt. Everest Fund today!
