With the help of my lovely sister-in-law we were able to get away for the weekend. We stayed in a condo at Wolfcreek resort. It's a beautiful place up Ogden canyon. We had such a great and relaxing time. We watched President Hinckley's funeral beside a crackling fire with no distractions. It was peaceful, serene and our view was spectacular to say the least!
When we woke up Sunday morning, it had snowed at least a foot and a half from between ten pm and eight am! I have never seen so much snow accumulate so fast! I was really worried - we were skipping church to be at the condo and we had to drive through a canyon in some of the worst weather I've ever been in. Heavenly Father forgave us and watched over and protected us on our trip home.
I love a good snow storm - just ask anyone I work with. Anytime it snows when we are at work I cheer while everyone else complains about driving home. Luckily I have a short commute home, and with a little common sense, most people are okay. Rules to live by: keep an extra safe distance from any car in front of you, don't speed up fast or try to stop fast. If you start to slip, don't brake! Now, that I say this, I'll probably get in an accident!
My theory is this: if everything is going to be gray, brown, and dead, let's cover it up with some beautiful snow!
The snow behind these pictures is not snow on a hill - it is the actual shoveled snow off the sidewalk! It was so crazy deep!

Oh maaannn!! Get Amanda to hook you up again, I want to go so bad! But it's best I didn't, the other chorister I co-lead with, didn't show up for her part of sharing time, and I had to lead songs I wouldn't have thought to practice if I had gone.
Ok, I always knew Bryant was my man, but to see him in a BYU hat makes aunt Nana tear up. Go Bryant! So sorry about the braces though. They will only make you stronger my man (and better looking. Not that you weren't already). Oh, and you've already been kissed by a girl with braces . . . yo mama! Ha!!
