What a Weekend!

This past weekend I drove up to Utah for a training conference for my Shade Clothing business. The plan was for me to drive up on Thursday, go to the conference and see some friends on Friday, and then drive home on Saturday. Those plans, however, were slightly interrupted. To make a long story short, I had some car problems which delayed me a couple hours (I had to hitch a ride with my mom who was driving up to St. George on the same day), then some snow problems that delayed me by about... mmm... 9 hours (I had to stay the night in Beaver... luckily my parents are friends with some awesome people--Jay and Nedra Bunker--who let me stay with them). The snow was still pretty bad in the morning, here's what my drive from Beaver to Provo looked like:




I still made it to my training conference almost on time (1 hour late), and later that night I got to see my long-lost best firend Chelsea Greene!






Saturday morning I left to head back to St. George, but couldn't help stopping at the Salt Lake Temple as I drove out of town. I used to live 4 blocks away from this temple and I absolutely love it:



I drove to St. George to give my mom her car back and James (being the best-est husband that he is) drove up to pick me up. I was really happy about that because he got a chance to meet my Grandpa & Grandma Speirs and visit with my Grandma & Grandpa Stanton.




So we finally got home last night around midnight and all in all it was quite the trip! I really enjoyed the whole adventure, but I am really glad to be home!


Here are some pretty pictures of the clouds visible from Grandma's balcony:

Hello, Hello!

So I finally gave in and decided to start a family blog (Katie will be so proud of me!). Here are a few pics of our most recent adventure:






These pics are from a couple weeks ago when we went up to Mt. High for a super fun day of skiing/snowboarding (James boards, I ski). Every time we go I am amazed at how good James is (you would think that I should remember when my husband is da' bomb at something, but somehow I forget just how "da' bomb"-ish he really is). Check out that air!






I wish I could do that--maybe someday... okay, yeah right, but I can dream!








At least I can look cute on the slopes:)
