Hi Again -

I want to start the first series of posts on our GC trip blog. If you guys could add a pic and a little diddy about yourself - as long or short as you want - that'd be great! Here's mine:

Morgan here (on my first river trip of the year on the Sandy). I'm about 9 months in on the first "real" job I've ever had. You know, one of those 9-5, 5 days a week, health insurance, 401k deals. I work for a water resources consulting firm (http://www.sspa.com/ if you want to check it out :)). It's great work - I'm learning a ton and I have three great co-workers. But I have to admit, one of the best parts of my job is that they're letting me off for two months to go play on the rivers in Idaho this summer. I give a big thumbs up to that! The work I do has also inspired me to look toward school and I'm even taking calculus so that some day, some hydrology graduate program will accept me! I think what keeps me going day to day is my ability to ride my bike to work, my runs in the parks right behind my house, and the flowers (which are in bloom!) all over my front yard. I can't even begin to tell you all how excited I am for our weeks on the river. I don't know if everyone get's to check off one of their life goals at age 26 (which I will be by the time of the trip) - so I feel pretty darn lucky.
