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.

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?

Lava II

Here we are again at lava hot springs in Idaho. Just a quick overnighter to enjoy the autumn weather.

I can fly

I finally did it. I went sky diving. Yes, it was indoors but it totally counts. I tried several times to do the whole "jump out of a plane thing" but I always had interference. So I tucked away my dreams of flying and being daring. On Sept 15 I went with my mom to visit Gwen and Eli for the first time since their wedding. The whole time they kept telling my mom they had a suprise for her but never let me in on the secret. I think I was more curious as she was. When it turned out to be the indoor skydiving I was stoked. There was never a moments hesistation. I didn't care what it cost or what I had to wear. It was totally awesome. You only fly for 3 min and yet the next day I had sore muscles. Now that's my kind of work out. I plan on going again to hone my skills and show off my nice moves.

Bear Lake Aug 2008

Brandon and I went with the Pierce family to Bear lake this August. We swam, biked, hiked, rode 4-wheelers and ate raspberry shakes. It was great to spend time with Brandon's family and get to know them better. You really feel like family when you have 2 bathrooms for 20 people. The nieces and nephews are all cuties and had a blast playing with Rocco. His siblings are all great and super easy to have fun with. I was really suprised at how much that area has grown. I last visited bear lake when I was in high school. It still gives me the same feeling and brought back some great memories.

Fresh doggie

Here is a perfect example of a rat dog, drown rat that is. Rocco does not like his baths and runs away from the blow dryer. But it's all worth it when he is soft and fluffy and smells good. He has more than doubled in size since I got him and will probably be 10 lbs when he is full grown. Rocco has started chewing on flip-flops and humping his blanket. He is lots of fun and a great puppy.
