I am currently on a backpacking trip in Wyoming. Potentially without service. This is one of the first weeks where I feel like I legitimately need a weekend in the mountains to get away from work.

I often have the desire to go and get out from the business of life, but this is one of the first times that I felt like I actually NEED it. Stressful times at a software company pouring over a screen…not the best when you absolutely love the outdoors.

This post is scheduled, so it is likely that right now I am looking up at a mountain in the background and am busy making a fire at our camping spot.

Good times getting to know each other and being separated from the world. Sleeping out under the stars.

Getting off the grid is an important part of my work. If I don’t get it I get worn down at my job. I’m blessed in the role I’m in, but I have a desire to involve myself in lots of outside activities. If I can’t do this, my morale level goes down greatly.

I’m off the grid. It’s the good life
