2007 Burning Man

My girlfriend Wendy always shared Burning Man stories with me and I loved them. She told me that I was a natural burner. I planned for a year my first burn with Wendy,Adam & me. Wendy did all of the planning and showed me the ropes. I really wanted my sister Emilie to go but she had a wedding to go to and had to work. I was sad but understood how it was and that sometimes you have to do the grown up thing. I was so excited. We picked up the RV and than had to load all our stuff in it. I was the organizer and Wendy & Adam brought everything to the RV down a super steep hill from their house. I was almost done packing when I walked into the bike rack! Blood was everywhere and I had a killer scare on my nose for my first burn. Wendy and Adam were great they took me to the house and put ice on my face and Wendy ask me how many fingers she was holding up. She was great just like a mom. Sweet. I love my Wendy. This put us behind given that they wanted to make sure I was OK before we got on the road. While I was laying down with a bag of ice on my nose and forehead I called my sister. When she picked up she ask were I was because she was at the ATM pulling money out for Burning Man! I told her we had not left because of my challenge with the bike rack. She came right over and ended up going to Burning Man without her work shifts even covered! Freaking awesome. Plus she was coming off a fast! Wild how life works. In this photo the man in burning right behind us. It was amazing and I new I had found my second home in Black Rock City. I am so happy I was with my sis and many loved friends.
