PARK CITY THANKSGIVING

JEFF AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO PARK CITY FOR THANKSGIVING THIS YEAR. WITH ALL OF THE SNOW THAT WE HAVE HAD WE FIGURED THAT WE WOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO GO SKIING. THURSDAY MORNING WAS ABOUT 5 DEGREES AND SO I OPTED TO STAY IN AND FIX OUR TURKEY DINNER AND JEFF WENT OUT FOR A HALF DAY OF SKIING. I KNEW THAT I WAS FIGHTING A LITTLE COLD, BUT AS THE DAY PROGRESSED, SO DID MY COLD AND BY FRIDAY MORNING I WAS AT THE PARK CITY URGENT CARE. AGAIN JEFF SKIED A HALF DAY AND I STAYED IN WITH MY ARSONAL OF MEDS. ALL IN ALL WE HAD A GREAT TIME, THE SNOW WAS BEAUTIFUL AND THE HOT TUBS WERE HOT. (DR'S ORDERS, SIT IN THE HOT TUB AND BREATH IN THE STEAM)

FINALLY BY SATURDAY I FELT GOOD ENOUGH TO DO WHAT IS A NECESSITY IN PARK CITY.... SHOP!

BLIZZARD OF 2010

THIS WEEK WE EXPEIENCED THE (SO-CALLED)BLIZZARD OF 2010. THIS STORM WAS A DOOZEY AND WITH THE THANKSGIVING WEEKEND AHEAD AND FAMILY TRAVELING I WAS A LITTLE CONCERNED FOR EVERYONES SAFETY INCLUDING MY OWN. THE SNOW STARTED ON SUNDAY NIGHT AND WITH THE OLD FAMILIAR WINDS WE HAD A MESS. BY TUESDAY THE ROADS TO MONTANA WERE CLOSED, MADISON COUNTY WAS SHUT DOWN AND IT WAS TAKING PEOPLE AN HOUR TO GET FROM BLACKFOOT TO IDAHO FALLS. HOWEVER, WE IDAHOANS ARE RESILIANT AND WE TAKE THE SNOW AND WIND IN STRIDE. UTAH WAS ALSO BRACING FOR THE WORST , BUT UTAHS STORM WAS A BUST. AND EVERYONE TRAVELING FOR THE HOLIDAY GOT OUT OF TOWN OK.

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF OUR YARD AFTER THE BLIZZARD OF 2010, IDAHO.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

TODAY I CAME ACROSS THIS QUOTE THAT MICHELLES SISTER-IN-LAW POSTED. I HOPE THAT IT IS OK THAT I AM PASSING IT ON... THANKS TIFFANY
‎"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."

BITTEN BY THE BUG

BEING THE GOOD GIRL THAT AM I DECIDED THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE A GOOD IDEA TO GET A FLU SHOT THIS YEAR. WELL I DON'T KNOW WHAT STRAIN THIS YEARS SHOT IS FOR, BUT EVIDENTLY NOT THE ONE THAT GOT ME THIS WEEK. I GUESS THAT THOSE FREE FLU SHOTS GO ALONG WITH THE SAYING "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR". ON THE BRIGHT SIDE HOWEVER,WHEN I STEPPED ON THE SCALES THIS MORNING I WAS DOWN QUITE A BIT, UNFORTUNATELY THAT WILL LAST ABOUT AS LONG AS MY FLU DID. :)

GREAT DAY

FALL IS IN THE AIR AND TODAY WAS NO EXCEPTION. LAST WEEK I THOUGHT MY DAYS OF TAKING A NICE WALK UP THE HILL WERE OVER BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY HAD A LITTLE SNOW. TODAY, HOWEVER WAS A PICTURE PERFECT DAY AND I TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE BEAUTIFUL WEATHER, I CAN ONLY HOPE FOR A COUPLE MORE WALKS, CAUSE I NEED TO GET THESE OLD LEGS IN SHAPE FOR THE SKI SEASON.
