playing catch-up

So I have been super slacker lately and am trying to catch up on weeks of fun before the big move (duh duh daaaa)
A little over a month ago my best friend from nursing school had a little baby girl.  A few of us went out to lunch to celebrate at the garden restaurant at the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial building

 the mom to be..

I got all ambitious and made her this quilt.  I think it turned out rather well for only my second baby quilt! Aren't you impressed? You should be.  Alicia's baby Elizabeth came shortly after our outing and she was beautiful.  We were out of town for a funeral when she came but she was just as cute when we got home.  Congrats to Alica, Geoff and Abby!

A few weeks ago, Andrew and I were able to get away and go skiing up at Deer Valley for a day thanks to our good friend Don.  When we got up the mountain, it was overcast.  As we rode up the lift, the clouds parted and it turned out to be a gorgeous day.  Almost too gorgeous, it was one thousand degrees with all our ski gear on, I had stripped down to almost nothing by lunchtime and my pockets were bulging with extra shirts. I have actually never skied at Deer Valley and was actually way impressed with the amount of terrain and high speed quads. It was definitely posh with the skier only attitude but had a huge area to work with. 

 Doesn't he look thrilled that I am taking his picture

On the way back out at lunch, notice blinding sun

Ok, that's all for now, you may look forward to my post on the half marathon.  You may all wait with baited breath(is that right?)
