One year later – My fondest memories…..

Advertisements

  • It’s been one year yesterday (Jan. 25th 2007) that you were taken from us. i wanted to just write down some of my favorite times/memories we had together little Sis :

*The beauty of Taco Sauce packets while camping (you know what i mean…)
*Going outdoors and being attacked (at least in our minds) by birds of prey (I do think that California Condor was eyeing us, and i know that eagle at the top of Millcreek canyon was out to get me)
*Skiing with you and Aaron and taking out the poor little squirell.
*Always laughing at my crazy sense of humor. You were the one person i could always count on to get me. But this is why you were such a wonderful person, because I know that everyone who knew you felt the exact same way.
*The poop report
*Gummy bears
*Your awesome T-shirts. My personal favs were ‘Homosexuals are gay’, ‘tell your boyfriend to stop calling me ‘, and of course ‘love for sail’
*Our mutual respect for people no matter who they were, as long as they weren’t an Ass (life is too short to tolerate that, eh?)
*WT baby!!!!
*Mountain biking in yellow horse canyon. You were such a trooper, even when you crashed into the river while me and the guy on the horse just laughed and laughed…
* Going to the jazz and heckling the detroit pistons

  • *Introducing me to the awesome Pete Yorn, Wilco, Travis and Nora jones while we drove together to move me to Arizona (and spotting elk for Darin all along the way)
    *Making me a better person by your example    i have so many more, but i can’t type any more thru my tears. We all love and miss you so much. Sydney and Cedar are so cute, they miss their Auntie Trud’s, and their loving, carefree spirit carries the rest of us.LOVE….Scottums

 

Alta – Jan 19th 2008

So after a long week on the road for work, i decided to head up for a few runs on Saturday at Alta. I’ve been feeling sick off and on all week, but getting out did me good. After a couple of hours though, I’d had enough. Still, it was a good to get in a few runs.
Playlist – Black Crowes, Kid Rock, Johnny Cash, Gym Class heroes, and Bright Eyes.

Alta in Jan 08- 1st ski trip of the season

Chicky chicky ya!!! So i finally made it up to Alta for the first ski trip of the season. i’ve been waiting for the ski resort to get a 100 inch base, which happened this week, so Saturday me and jared headed up. The conditions were perfect, with 6 inches of new powder everywhere, hardly any long lifts lines. With both of us strapped in with our new helmets ( which i always use after my crash two years ago) and ipods set with great tunes (my playlist was a cool mix of Ben harper, Wilco, Pearl Jam, and Coldplay) we were set to go.

After 15 runs though, we both were beat. I guess no matter how much you workout, age just kicks your trash. But, I hope that after this season, i’ll have improved not only my skill, but my endurance. More to come in the coming weeks. keep the snow falling!

Whole Fish?

On a recent trip to AZ, i decided to take my co-worker Mark out to dinner in Sedona (an awesome place by the way if you haven’t ever been there.) I went to my favorite restaurant called the barking Frog. It’s a mexican restaurant in a building remodeled from an old style Mexican catholic church. Anyway, they had whole fish as there special, and of course i think it will be a whole fillet. Mark said the look on my face was priceless when my dinner came. It was smiling at me!
