my life, as of late.

[Warning – there’s LOTS of pics in this post!]

Back at the end of January, I went to San Francisco! I had to go for work, and then spent the weekend with my friend Matt – who I know from my Portland days, but now lives in SF. Good times.

Went to the Lady Antebellum concert with JoyLyn – such a great show!

Went to the aquarium with my adorable nephews. I love them, and I love penguins, so it was a perfect afternoon! We’re wearing shark masks, if you can’t tell what they are….

I spent a weekend skiing in Jackson Hole with my roommate and 14 other friends. I’ve always wanted to ski at Jackson – it was amazing. Not to mention, we had perfect weather, and I got to ski the morning with my Aunt and Uncle who are up there working for the winter.

Last week at work, we rented a suite at the Jazz v. Timberwolves game. Everyone brought their spouse, and it was great spending time outside of work with co-workers and their spouses. Go Jazz!!

I’ve had a few AMAZING ski days with these two boys. They make it so I can’t walk the next day… let it snow :)

ReAL Salt Lake opening game with Dan. We won!!! Hopefully it's the start to a great season

Wednesday night…. Cosmic bowling. I’ve always been a horrible bowler, but this was just an embarrassment!

And most exciting…. I’ll be spending all next week here:

Turks and Caicos in the Caribbean… with three of my favorite people.

It’s going to be a blast!!!!

happy birthday, lover boy!

(oh my heck! we look so little!)

i'm sure you're having an awesome birthday party in heaven!

a crafty weekend!

i had quite a crafty weekend!

i got this table from work - it was pretty ugly, but for $10, i couldn't pass it up!

here's the final product - i don't LOVE it, but it's ok. maybe in a few months, i'll just sand it down and start over again... who knows!

....also, i made this halloween banner. there's 2 of each, and i still need to get something to attach them to, but not too bad for my first banner! i think frankstein and the candy corn are my favorites.

i also did a little scrapbooking, got some crafts ready to finish up this week, and helped my friend make some cute birthday buckets.

too bad that i have a full-time job and can't craft this much every weekend!

my newest love

i finally got my road bike!!

and although i've only been on one ride so far,

i'm already in love!

[maybe it's because it's yellow - who knows?!!]

best day at work. ever.

Last week, the accounting department went to Park City at the Olympic Park for a "Team Building" day - it was great! We started with yummy box lunches from Kneaders - sitting outside and enjoying the fresh air while we ate was SO much better than eating at my cubicle! After eating, we did the 2 ziplines, then the Alpine Slide....and then the Bobsled. That's right - the same track from the Olympics. It was A.W.E.S.O.M.E. SO awesome! Our sled was going 70.3 miles an hour - I can't even explain how great it was!! Each sled had a professional driver, and then 3 of us employees. Here's the whole group afterwards:

And a few more pics from the day......

These three girls make my work days survivable!

Jill, JoyLyn and Steph

Proof that I have a huge head. Me and all the boys wore the large helmets. JoyLyn has an extra small helmet on. I don't know why we thought this was so funny, but J and I seriously couldn't stop laughing!

See... I wasn't lying. Best day at work. Ever.

two years ago today... THIS happened

and my, oh my.... how things have changed.
