Summer, Fall, Winter

That is how long it has been since I have blogged. Here is what happened.

We hiked Pfiefferhorn (up Little Cottonwood) in late August, it was beautiful. If I remember correctly it was 16 miles roundtrip and we only had to cling to cliffs once.

After climbing in Ogden one September evening I got the nastiest case of poison ivy EVER. It lasted 3 months. Think every single area possible below the neck. I spent most of my fall nights screaming while soaking in oatmeal and baking soda baths. I have also tried every single product at Walmart, Walgreens, and Smiths. Finally after 3 months, 4 visits to the doctor and a couple of weeks on steroids it went away. Needless to say, I am no longer charmed with Ogden.

The Youngs had a Halloween party the day before Halloween. Oliver and I went as stick figures... my costume fell apart within 5 minutes.

We spent Halloween at the cabin with friends. It was laid back and cozy, just the way I like Halloween.

Thanksgiving Day - we went skiing at Snowbasin and spent the afternoon with the Johnstons.

Santa brought us our first home for Christmas. We closed on our house on Christmas Eve and moved in the following week. We are very excited to make it ours.

We spent the holidays with family and friends. Christmas Eve with Bethers and Mike, Christmas morning skiing at Snowbasin, Christmas afternoon/evening with Spencer and Sher. We also had many parties and gatherings with friends from work, college, high school, and childhood. It was really good to see everyone.

On our 3rd Anniversary we skied both Alta & Snowbird with Spencer, Sher, & Bass. We had lunch at the swanky Watson Grill. After being offered elk, rabbit, or duck, Oliver requested a cheeseburger from the cafeteria in the basement.

We moved into our new home on December 28th with help from our brothers. Although it is pretty empty and we haven't hung anything on the walls yet, it feels like home. We are very happy and feel lucky to be where we are. (pictures to come)
