winter '09-'10

Don't let the short sleeves fool you. This is Christmas eve and my sister Hiedi's birthday dinner.

I can't say I love winter, but I do love a sunny day on the mountain. I managed to ski Sundance about 10 times, enough to keep away the winter blues. I even convinced Brandon to join me.

Rocco, however, loves the snow. He will whine at the backdoor relentlessly until you let him out. Then he will bounce around like a bunny chasing little snowballs he kicks up and eating so much snow that you'd think it tasted like a roast beef snowcone.

Halloween 2009

A trip to the dollar store and a stroll down the toy aisle at Macey's was all it took to complete our halloween costumes. One might assume I'm very creative and thrifty or that our costumes weren't really that much of a stretch from the truth. Either way I had to pick something that Brandon would agree to, because I refuse to be denied entry into the party for not dressing up. Presenting Dog and Beth, Bounty Hunters.

Crusing the Mediterranean

We made ten stops: Venice, Athens, Kusadasi, Istanbul, Mykonos, Naples, Rome, Livorno, Monaco, and Barcelona. Turkey and Greece had the best food and shopping. The gelato was divine everywhere. I never got enough. Brandon however could have had less walking and less sun and less buffett. Something is wrong with him. I am pleased to report that I didn't gain any weight on my cruise. I attribute this to my apathy of dessert and the bowel issues that inevitably accompany all overseas adventures. I love mylanta. Before I get too personal here are the pictures.

St George

This spring we visited St. George a few times. We stayed with our friends Ashley, Jake, Bill and Ginny. Great people and Fun times.

Less than Stellar 2/12/09

Our outfits and dance moves did not disappoint. Vanilla Ice and McHammer however did not bring their "A" game. Needless to say we had a blast and were asked to pose for several pictures. Really.

Getting My Moneys Worth - Sundance

This was the first year I have ever bought a season (skison) pass and I wanted to make sure there were no regrets. I had a blast and even ventured over to Park city and Deer Valley. It kept me from slitting my wrist over seasonal depression too. Oh and I occasionally chase people down the slopes to steal a picture of their awesomely bad outfits.

Jan 11, 2009

To celebrate our 2 year anniversary Brandon and I started with a lovely brunch at Sundance. We stayed at the Inn on the Creek where we had our reception and stuffed ourselves with sushi from Sushi Maru in Park City. Does it get much better without leaving the state?
