Olympics here I come!

Last Friday I took a 2 hour introduction to curling class.

Yesterday was snowshoeing.

I didn't get a picture of it, but I was able to get $5 tickets to a motocross event. Amazing what a bike can do in the air!

The official return to blogging

Many of you may wonder what has kept me from blogging for the last few months. The answer: School and work.

I retook anatomy, physiology for improved grades and added microbiology to the mix.

In preparation for my 18 tests (21 scheduled but I was fortunate enough to get out of 3) I spent a lot of time making flash cards.

But all the paper and hours spent were a recipe for success.

The end of the semester happened to fall on national cupcake day so my good friend April and I celebrated by making some adorable cupcakes.

There were some fun diversions during the semester as well.

Following the end of school. There was Christmas, new years, snowshoeing, and a double doughnut adventure... This is one of two gingerbread endeavors. You should know this was a group effort.

After we made the doughnuts we went and did donuts in the freshly fallen snow.

I'm the one laying down in the snow on the right.

Time for Goodbyes:(

My good friend and roommate of 3 years got a "real grown-up-peoples" job and moved to Cedar City yesterday. Cambree and I have enjoyed so many new experiences, new friends, food cravings, camping trips, parties, and projects together, I only thought it appropriate to create a tribute to our friendship.

Hope you enjoy the photo journey of the last couple of years.

A Farewell to Summer

It is official: Summer has come to an end. At the bright and cheery hour of 7:00am this morning a attended my first class of the semester.
It has been a fabulous summer of fun! I feel grateful for all the fun trips and adventures I was able to enjoy with so many wonderful friends.
For my last weekend of freedom, I was able to attend my Park City retreat for work, volunteer at the jazz festival, and a relaxing trip up Logan Canyon and past Bear Lake.
Unfortunately the retreat and jazz festival have no photo documentation. But here are a few from the Logan trip.

We had a picnic lunch up the canyon. Here Evan, Patrick, and Cambree are playing BFLD (big fat lazy dog: usually played after a filling and satisfying meal) I took the chance to walk along a tree lined trail that ran along the river. I can't wait to revisit it in the fall.

Apparently our guy friends feel a sense of accomplishment climbing to the top of climbing structures.

We took a moment to hug the trees.

We didn't really have to use the restroom but thought it was so entertaining that this was off the main road. They had a sign on the main road advertising public restrooms. It caught both Cambree's and my attention.

There was lots of laughter.

I have no caption for this next one.
