First time for everything

Klane and I went up to Snowbird for my first skiing lesson! Klane was a great teacher and very patient with me. Everything about skiing is completely backwards from snowboarding, it was crazy! I kept trying to use my skis like I would use my board, and I got pretty frustrated with myself. But we still had fun! By the end of the day I finally started to feel like I was getting a handle on it. I'm excited to be able to do both! And Klane says he's willing to give snowboarding a shot sometime. We forgot to ask someone to take a picture of both of us, so we took one the next morning with our amazing sunburns. We were raccoons! Take my word for it, this picture doesn't do them justice at all.

Old news, still exciting

I got bored and searched our names on Google (the top hit for mine was this blog), and I was surprised that the top hit for Klane was on CNN.com! I got all excited and clicked through. I had forgotten about his success earlier this year with CALLE in the Fortune Small Business Competition, and I just have to brag about my husband a bit - he and his business were in the top 6 small businesses across the country! Klane said it's old news but I thought it was pretty cool.
Check out the article if you get excited about stuff like this like me! Try googling yourself sometime, it's fun to see what comes up.

Snowbird

Little Cloud; that's Mike up ahead. It was kind of snowy!

Proof that skiers and snowboarders can live together in harmony :)

In the tunnel (I guess I'm hanging loose?)

Klane and Mike in the tunnel. Woo!

Mike, Klane and I had such a fun day at Snowbird on Saturday! Sorry there are no action shots, but that's just proof that we were having too much fun skiing to stop and take pictures. It wasn't crowded, the snow was pretty dang good and we even got fresh tracks on one run. :) It snowed the whole day so the light was pretty flat. Kind of crazy to be flying along and not know whether you were about to hit a bump or a dip, but hey it was exciting! I don't think I've ever had a day when I was so tired after every run (once again proof that we were having too much fun to stop. And proof that the snow was fairly deep: Awesome!), but it was so fun and I couldn't wait for the top of the lift and the next one! It was a really fun time.

My Cute Husband

I had to get a picture of Klane with his cute hair before he cuts it! (The day is soon approaching.) Isn't he just adorable?! I am so lucky I get to be married to him. Klane is so thoughtful, funny, smart, talented, spiritual and just fun to be with. He is such a great example to me. And he is dang good lookin'! I'm the luckiest girl in the world. Love ya babe.

"Remission": What a beautiful word!

This pic is kind of old, it's from February 19 when I was lucky enough to be the one to sit with my mom at the cancer center. She had a really great few weeks leading up to this, and was just glowing. (I keep saying it's not very fair that she looks healthier than me and she's in the middle of chemotherapy... :)

But here is some awesome news: She had a CT scan and the tumors are gone! Her doctors were amazed, but she is now cancer free! The miracles of modern medicine combined with the faith, prayers and fasting of SO many people around us... what a blessing! We are excited and now she just has to finish out her last two chemo sessions. Hopefully I get lucky enough to go sit with her again, it was fun to have nothing to do but sit and chat for a few hours with my mom. She is awesome and an amazing example to me!

He's Home!

Klane's brother Michael came home from his mission on Friday! We thought we were really hilarious with our airport signs: HUGE pictures of Mike's face.

Needless to say it was a really great weekend, with lots of time spent with family. Klane and Mike are great friends and they're hilarious together so it was fun to see them back together again.

New Addition

Check out the newest addition to our apt: Klane hung these shelves for me for Valentine's day. They look great!

It's DONE!

Klane and I have been married for nine months now and I just finished putting together our wedding album. It didn't take me a long time, I just didn't get around to starting the project until a few weeks ago! But it looks beautiful!  I only have one problem. There were so many pictures of our wedding day that I loved, and I couldn't bring myself to leave any out, so the album is, well... HUGE!

Hopefully anyone who sees it won't think we're obsessed with ourselves since we have this huge book of pictures of ourselves. In the end, I think it turned out great (although a bit bulky) and I'm glad I got to include so many pictures!

Update:

Maybe I wouldn't suggest that movie. I was up all night Saturday because I kept having nightmares. Haha, oops!

Date Night at T.P.

So tonight Klane and I went up to Thanksgiving Point for dinner and a movie. We're still using up our spoils from the contest we won at the TP Bridal Fair last year... lots of free food and movies!

We had a nice dinner at Harvest restaurant (it tastes so much better when it's free ;) and then saw Cloverfield, which just came out yesterday. Holy cow, it was INTENSE! The whole thing was filmed by one of the characters holding a camcorder, which made me a bit motion sick at times with all the running around and camera-flinging (I would recommend taking a dramamine before going) but we decided the movie wouldn't have been as scary otherwise. If you've seen any of the previews, you were probably infuriated slash enthralled by the fact that they never really show you what is after these people. Well, since it was filmed by camcorder, much of the movie you couldn't see what was after them or what was coming next - but it was so good!! It definitely kept us on the edge of our seats, and it was one of those movies where it ends and you just sit there like, "Whoa............"

I'd recommend it if you like intense movies and if you don't mind a little blood. (That sounds awful but it wasn't bad. :)

My Mother is My Hero

Look at my cute mom!

If you're ever having a hard day, I know someone you should talk to. My mom has to be the most positive person I know. Today Klane and I went over to visit her and she is all smiles, even though the last of her hair fell out this week after her second chemotherapy treatment. Look at her in this picture earlier this week! My dad cut her hair short for her when it really started coming out. She has always been such a great example to me of the power of positive thinking, and since she was diagnosed with Lymphoma a month ago, nothing has changed! We're so blessed to have such great examples around us from our wonderful family.
