Nothing to complain about :)

Hey! I'm not too good at consistently blogging, ha. Life has been treating me well though! Earlier this month I went on a splendid trip to Utah for the DX Ski Trip. Paul was gone most of the month of December visiting family in Thailand, exploring around Taiwan, kicking it in Cali, etc., and then he flew to Salt Lake City to meet up with me for a few days before the rest of the ski crew arrived. It was wonderful to have two days to ourselves to catch up. We explored the communities of Odgen and Logan, Utah, and even ended up driving to Wyoming! We ate dinner at little local spots, checked out a couple of museums, and went to a beautiful park called Antelope Island State Park, located in the Great Salt Lake. It was breathtaking and we were literally almost the only people on the island it seemed like. We even spotted some bison! Skiing in Park City with the 55 GT people was a blast- everywhere you looked there seemed to be someone from our trip. In my effort to become more domestic, I cooked one night for our condo! I got a good bit better and more comfortable on my skis this year and only bit the dust a few times. Paul of course is much more daring on his snowboard- I have several videos of him doing jumps at the terrain park (did catch him falling on camera). One funny thing was that we slept on a bed that came out from the wall, and Amanda and Chris were on the pullout. Meanwhile, Matthew and Dan cuddled in a king-size bed! We felt like we owed it to Matthew, he did plan the entire trip.

Life since the holidays and the ski trip has been pretty normal. Things at work have picked up and we start to interview other potential fellows next week! I've really enjoyed my time at the Foundation, hard to believe 6 months have passed already. Paul and I have gotten to spend a good bit of time together, we've even made it out a few times and went dancing at Vision! Needless to say I've had a few slow, tired Fridays at work. I didn't think I would go to Moondogs once I graduated. . . Paul has sent off his two grad school apps to UW Seattle and Berkeley- talk to me in late March or April, I'm not sure how I will react to his decision. Of course I want him to stay here, but going somewhere like Berkeley would be such an opportunity- I do think about his upcoming decision, our future, my new job, etc., a good bit, but I try not to worry or stress out about it too much as there is nothing I can do about things right now. I've got a great job now that is flexible and not stressful, my boy is here, I have great friends, challenging and fun goals for the new year, an awesome August trip in the works that includes an adventure in Alaska, a solid job for September, a wonderful place to live, good health- what more could I want? I am so blessed!!
