Salt Lake City, Utah

Hello all, hope everyone is well. We are so sorry that we haven't updated everyone as much as we should. Please forgive us. Please know that we miss you and can't wait to make it back home to visit. We've been in Utah now since the last week of December and we'll be finishing up April 5th,my birthday!!! We'll be heading back to Tennessee until my next assignment. As of today, we don't know where we'll be. We are having such a great time doing this and can't believe this is our life. Thanks to all of you for being so supportive.
If I could sum up Salt Lake in one word it would have to be, relaxing. All we seem to do is work and snowboard. It felt like it snowed everyday the first 2 months we were here. And we just got dumped on again this past weekend. I've never seen so much snow my entire life. It was just 2 weeks ago that I saw the grass in front of our apartment. It's been wonderful being here, but the Gypsy feet are kicking in and we're ready for the next adventure.






Check out my husband's sweet moves....hotty!!! He's way better than me.


We love our friends coming to visit. We give everyone permission to use our house as a free place to stay. It's always to good to have familiar faces around.

I went to Las Vegas with my sister and her 2 friends from school. It was quick,fun trip and warm most of the time. Thanks Brit for the invite.

All I wanted to do there was ride the rollercoasters at the top of the Stratesphere. However, once we did the first one, I had a mild heart attack, so we gave our tickets away. Just to let you know how bad it was, I've jumped out of an airplane twice and didn't think it was scary. It was seriously the scariest ride I've ever been on.
This is Addison, aka Addie, my friend Ashley's baby. She is seriously super cute and such a sweet baby. It was a new experience seeing one of my best friends as a mom. She's just 3 weeks in this pics and already smiling. Thanks Ash for letting me come and spend time with you and Addie.


How Cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello To All!!!!

I know, I know...Thomas and I are the worst at updating our blog. So sorry. Well, I finished up my assignment in Manhattan Dec. 16th and made way back to Tennessee to make our rounds. We didn't have much time home this time,so needless to say it flew by. A few days in Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Lebanon then it was back in the car to drive cross country for the "third" time. We made it to Salt Lake City,UT after 3 days on the road. We were here this time last year for the snowboarding season, so we were excited to get back.
Once we got here we slowly adjusted to the altitude...no joke. All we wanted to do was sleep the first week. At 4:oopm we were seriously wanting to go to bed. It took all we had just to make it til 8:00pm. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to "shred" yet b/c off all things to leave in Lebanon, we left some of our snowboarding gear. Although we don't have any Utah pics yet, we have plenty left from NY that we haven't posted yet.


My friend Lindsay and I watching the football game with fellow UT football fans in Manhattan back in September. As soon as I walked into this place I thought I was back in Knoxville. UT football fans in NYC....what!!!! My friend Lindsay is on staff with Campus Crusade in the city and she was such a blessing to have in the city. We were roommates in school, so to be in the same city again was a total blast.
The Brooklyn Bridge at sunset.

There was a Halloween parade and this guys were dressed up as Ghostbusters. Everytime they said " Who ya gonna call" in there thick Brooklyn accent, I almost lost it laughing so hard.
Watching the balloons being blown up the day before the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, right by our apartment.

We had a great view of the parade. Right across the street of Macy's. Pretty sweet gig uhh!!!
Lacing up for ice skating in Central Park. My best friend Bethany and her husband Aaron came up to visit the week before we left NYC. Ice skating in New York was so much fun. Thomas and I think we missed our calling as figure skaters. We were pretty much doing 360's as soon as we hit the ice!!!



The tree at Rockefeller Center.



Wasting time on the Staten Island Ferry.
NYC's first snow from the top of our apartment.
Thanksgiving dinner at our friend, Caroline's, apartment. It was home away from home and Thanksgiving.

Good laughs at Thanksgiving dinner.

Thomas the tourist at the Statue of Liberty.
We got to go up to the top pedestal at the Statue of Liberty. I must say, my heart broke when I found out I couldn't go up to the crown.
The last pic is my favorite coffee shop in NYC. They knew my order when I walked in the door. Single shot extra chocolate large iced mocha....ummm. If I was a millionaire I would seriously fly there just to get a mocha from there.
