climb every mountain

Hey everybody
I know I haven't written forever.  I wanted to focus on getting school finished.  Right after school was over, I got to go on a big adventure.  Myself,  along with five other students from D.T.S.S high school,  got chosen to go spend five days up in the bugaboo mountains.    I only went for three days, but I think my trip could not have gotten any better than it was.  I got to go with my helper at school, and my good friend, Paige Ukass.  It was so nice to spend time with her.  It's quite spectacular up at the lodge.  We drove up with my mom.  She didn't stay, but thought just the drive up was an adventure enough.  The lodge was wonderful!  Everyone in there was like family and when they met you, you felt like a part of it. We started climbing right away.  I went up the mountains in what called a trail rider.  Its a seat with one wheel at the front and one at the back. It took three strong guys to get me up there!  I got to walk some too.  That was huge for me.  Ive never got to walk on terrain like that before.  It felt like I really concerd something.  The scenery up there in the mountains is breathtaking, and you just feel so peaceful.  All the guide said the best part of their job was coming up to the peacefulness of the  mountains after the  busyness of every day life!  I got to fly in a helicopter up there, and on the last day, I got to sit in the co pilot seat!  This trip was like nothing Ive ever experienced before.  I made friends with the nicest people and experienced once in a lifetime things.    Paige once said to me  " Kate, one day you and I are going to climb mountains together!"  And soon after, our dream came true.  After getting settled back into reality after all the excitement, the two of us made a book about our fabulous trip, on the computer.  Paige has a program that can take all your pictures and turn them into a book.  The book is amazing.    I will treasure it always  Thank you to all who made this amazing trip possible, especially to Rocco, the Heli skiing guy who made all this happen.  Of course, I cant forget my partner in crime, Paige.  Its amazing what we have done together.   If I can do this, I can do anything!  All I have to do is believe and I can move any mountain to make my dreams come true!
