Spring Break to Utah

By -
After Houston, we caught a plane to Utah.  Going home is great.  We get to see friends and family that we miss in England.  We eat all the food that we can't find in London (good Mexican), have late night campfires, make s'mores, and go shopping at all our old stores.  However, there is also a downside to going home: the dentist.  We still go to our Utah dentist because we love them, and they are great, but this last visit, I had to get a crown.  ... ... ... ... ... I felt like my mouth had betrayed me!  I take really good care of my teeth.  But I guess it's genetic?  That's what they said anyway.  So I went 3 different times to get things sorted.  I'm glad my US dentist could help me, but now I'm a bit obsessed with my teeth, like tons of brushing, flossing, mouth wash, oil pulling.  I'm becoming a crazy lady, but I do not want a repeat to last time.

We always go stay with our friends Ali and Jon for a night.  We eat great food, play games and have a fabulous time.  Ali always has the cutest guest room set up!


We saw a double rainbow at their house!


And then Ali made the yummiest breakfast.  I love her frittatas!


We had some good family time as well.  This was after a little jam session at my Dad's girlfriend's house.  She has a lovely baby grand piano.  We all took turns playing and singing.


Rachel and I got pedicures.  It was heaven!  


I had an blushing purple and her color was electric watermelon.


We had to grab some Utah hiking before we left.  This was up Lamb's canyon near Park City.  We told Kyle we wanted a nice easy walk, so he took us up a mountain...  However the view was great once we made it up.



Goodbye Utah!  Until next time.

Impromptu Photos Shoots and Leg Hangs

 I shot a wedding the other day and rented a great lens for it.  Because I didn't want said awesome lens to go to waste I made Porter come out for an impromptu photo shoot with me last Sunday.  We went up to Westminster College campus and took these.  I think they turned out pretty well considering I set up the shot and took the pics via remote (a fabulous christmas present from the hubster ).  Porter really likes candid shots instead of posed ones.  So I try to set up moments where we can be in a nice position to have a candid moment, wink, wink.  It's not posing, I promise.  At least he believes it's not, so that is a win! The snow made it so bright.  After this picture I think we were both a little snow blind.  In other pole dancing news: I can finally do leg hangs!  I went to a class the other night with a fabulous teacher and ended up having a private session.  Classes where I am the only one scare me becaus...

Creepy Dog!

The creepiest thing happened last night.  I was minding my own business, sleeping the the night away, when I woke up.  And when I open my eyes, I see two big eyes starring back at me.  My dog, Puck had inched his way up till he was sleeping right next to me with his head on my pillow, and his eyes were wide open.  As I groggily came too, I pushed him away, saying something like, "Puck, go away!"  However, he didn't move, he didn't budge.....he didn't blink!  Just this big potato sack of a dog laying there starring at me.  So I pushed him again...nothing.  By this point I'm pretty awake and wondering what the heck is going on with my dog.  I started to shake him gently while talking to him, still nothing.  So now I'm thinking to myself, 'if this dog croaked in the middle of the night right next to me with his eyes wide open, I don't think I can sleep in this bed again!'  I began looking for breath, he didn't even look like he was bre...

Paris Catacombs

It took us 3 times to actually make it to the catacombs. The first time, they were closed, second, we went to the wrong location, but third times the charm. We waited in line for about an hour before entering here. Next we had to go down 65 steps on a tiny, spiral staircase. It was very tight, and you could feel the temperature dropping as we descended down into the bowels of Paris. We then had to go through a system of small tunnels. The ceiling was only 6 ft. and was just bare rock. It was even dripping in places. I am not claustrophobic, but I was definitely feeling uneasy. Just the thought of getting trapped down there sends shivers down my spine. The bare tunnels opened up a little to reveal this great passage way, but it only lasted a little while before we were back to the tiny tunnel. The door way to the burial chamber : "Stop. Here is the Kingdom of the Dead." There were bones stacked up 5 1/2 feet on both sides. I'm not sure how thick it was. And this went on...
