All day today there has been a rain storm looming. The day got progressively more and more dark and dreary. Just as I was getting home it started to come down. It was perfect timing. Usually when I get home I get straight to work but I was really enjoying the sound of the rain. Isn’t it just so peaceful? I decided I would just be calm for a bit before I start rushing all around the house to get things done. How does the rain make you feel?
First time to Utah (but not first time in the snow)
I mentioned a few times that I was going to Utah and I took 2 cameras with me so I got quite a few photos. As you can imagine Utah is pretty cold this time of year but Austin is rather warm this time of year. I was so confused about what to wear to the airport. I finally decided that I would dress for the warm day in Austin and then slip on my boots and coat once we landed in Utah (that worked very well).
For me seeing piles and piles of snow was not out of the ordinary being from Michigan. Walker, on the other hand, was completely amazed and it was so fun to see him in utter awe of it. The mountains are not something I’m used to so the drive through the mountains was really beautiful. The coldest night was the first night so we didn’t spend much time walking around but we did enjoy the outdoor hot tub. Walker got to see what it was like to have frozen hair. haha!
Snowboarding was alright, I went down the bunny hill 4 0r 5 timesĀ and decided it was a little too intense for me and spend the rest of the day playing in the snow. Snowshoeing was my favorite (I’ll have a post about that tomorrow). It was a rather short trip but we enjoyed ourselves quite a bit.
The picture of Walker and I looking disinterested is one of my favorites from the trip. One because it’s just kind of funny and two because we are both wearing sweaters that I knitted. I teased him about that a bit. But come on it’s super cute right?! Also I wore the hat I knitted for this trip and wrote about here.
My New Sandals!
March 5, 2012
I have been wanting a pair of these for so long! I have no idea why I waited so long because they were nicely priced (even more so because I can buy the kid version), they can be worn in and out of the water, they are comfortable and I love the way they look on my feet! I was so happy that the 2 days after they arrived were so warm so I could sport my new, super cute, sandals all around! They make me sooo happy!
