A New year!

I cant believe its been 7 months since I last updated! Well, actually I can. A lot has happened since then.

In July I moved back to Arizona, temporarily, for a job selling ski and snowboard equipment/accessories. Its really nice to be back near family and friends. Its weird to be back in the city. That job has kept me so busy traveling all over the west coast for the last 4 months. Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego...all over!

I was the Maid of honor in a good friends wedding. That keeps you busier than you think it will when you agree to do it! :)

Then the holidays... always keep you busy and football season, of course. :) So things have slowed down. Its snowboarding season now! So I will be finding ways to make it to snow. I have friends and a free season pass in southwest Colorado. That will be my first stop! Here is my timeline of the last few months....

-Goodbye Colorado-

I miss it so much! Pictures of my last hike through the Rockies

This shower was so cute! It was a Kentucky Derby themed. All the guests wore big hats and red roses everywhere. We served fried chicken and mint jullips. So much fun!

Opening gifts and playing games.

Same ol same ol

So I have not been on here in months! Nothing new. Just enjoying the change in seasons. Im glad the snow is gone and everything is in bloom. Lots of rain this spring. I wonder how the summer will be? Ive been on a few trips here and there. Was able to go to Canada for the first time. It was beautiful! Then to AZ to enjoy the heat. (I dont even recognize this white skin! Its been covered up all winter.) And of course I'll be going camping whenever possible. I cant wait for this summer! Lots of things going on. I get to see my sister and her family in August! Cant wait to laugh till I cry :) I think this will be the first time in a year or 2 my whole family will be

together

Lot O snow

Winter Wonderland

For anyone who lives where it snows it is so nice when you have a good mild winter. The weather this year has been awesome. Hardley any snow and rarely has it fallen to negative temps. Which was something that happened way to often last year. We have had so much sun for December and January which are usually the coldest month. I am still snowboarding and just got a whole new set up which I am very excited to put to use.

New Jersey trip

Ok, so it has been sooo long since my last blog. I have lots to update. I went to visit Cassie and the Ross family in Oct/Nov and we had a great time. Cassie and her family are currently residing in New Jersey. We saw lots of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Washington DC. It was all so beautiful. Im sure I just picked the right time to go. It was a great trip and I had so much fun hanging out with my nephews. They are so sweet and so cute. I miss them again! So here are some of my pictures from the trip including our Halloween costumes. We were the Peter Pan gang. I did not bring enough memory on my camera for all the pictures I wanted to take!
