heavy

We finally had a fabulous snow storm....full of heavy, WET, snow....it was a joy to come home at 11:00pm and shovel for an hour. it's great exercise and it always feels good to head over to a neighbors while you're at it. Maybe i found it enjoyable because 80% of the time Josh is out there on his own. I like to do it together though...it's hard to watch the other work hard from inside the warm house.

Also, we've finally changed the look of the blog...slightly. I like it.

pickle post

hello.

i'm here to discuss pickles. i promised alyssa and mike that i would post this as my first picture post. i think it's my first picture post anyway.

FRIED PICKLES

alyssa (and mike) introduced us to this delicacy and josh even ate 2. he HATES pickles and that is zero exaggeration.

to start off winter ( that still hasn't come for real) we spent an AMAZING weekend at the park city resort. and one of the best parts was the restaurant we found on main street. BEST SERVICE WE HAVE EVER HAD...it was stupendously enjoyable...truly.

hmm what else is there to report. we've started one of our first traditions - shooting our pumpkings once xmas decor goes up. i shall go find a picture to post. be right back.....

here is our ginormous pumpkin.

here is me.

and the photos that i tried to drag down are gone...thanks to my ghetto blog setting. uggg.

i should be speaking more words...well writing them. words of wisdom. but i have so many picutres that are speaking so many thousands of words that i'm getting overwhelmed.

this little man makes me so happy that even though i rotated his photo and it never works i don't even care.

this is a lovely day at solitude...it's quickly becoming my favorite place to ski. but i have so many places to try that i can't say that for sure.

i've been married to a cowboy for 3 years now.

naturally, i've become a cowgirl. bare-backing

christmas morning. josh got me BOGS. i'm becoming a legit ranch-hand

with so many pictures in words, i'm feeling like there are too many. we'll see.

clippers

finally, there is something decent for me to add to this blog. it's getting lonely but it's relatively easy for me to not think about it too much.
The other night was a bit windy, really windy, windy enough for leaves to be EVERYWHERE the next morning. Before dawn, at approximately 2am, I awoke to Josh leaning out our bedroom window with our heavy duty bush clippers...Apparently the scratching of the branches against the window all night was too much to bear. kind of like nails on a chalkboard but I was able to sleep through it. Josh has very keen hearing so it was different for him I guess. So, he got up, went to the garage, got our clippers, removed the screen, and clipped away. I was pretty confused to say the least. I was half asleep and I remember telling him not to get sap on the floor. I was partly dreaming that he was dragging branches into our house and leaving them on the floor. he told me these kinds of branches don't have sap. phew! He never brought any branches inside in the first place.
Naturally, we spent saturday doing yard work...including aggressive trimming of our bushes.

time

i am starting to believe that my time is spent most wisely when i am with family and friends, and especially with friends. for some reason, friends fulfil something inside of us that can't be filled with even our closest family members....they fill something that friends can't fill too. being in the mountains this weekend with some truly great friends had me feeling true joy several different times. i feel like true friends cheer you on, support you in your stresses and desires, and listen to you tell dumb stories. and being a true friend allows you the opportunity to reciprocate the same things- you get to cheer people on, celebrate their successes, and share their sorrows. I know I will always be friends with these people because we all share the same desire to care for each other and enjoy the time we find to spend together. i cherish the time we had, it was as though time slowed down so we could get a real chance to enjoy the company.
it makes me glad.
