march madness

Lately I've been feeling grateful for all the wonderful people in my life. Here are just a few pictures of some of the many people I love.

roommie SARAH & twinner BETHANY

People are really what make life wonderful, aren't they? One of my other besties is my sister Catherine. She has come to Utah TWICE now! I conveniently got Strep throat right when she got here, so I got work off. The doc said I was too contagious to infect all those chillin's but she didn't say anything about getting a manicure & pedicure.....

Manicure faces

She also didn't say anything about going on hikes to Ensign Peak to see this beautiful view:

We also we went on a double to see Vocal Point and eat ice cream at Catherine's favorite place, the BYU creamery! Everyone who knows Catherine knows that she appreciates ice cream more than anyone I know. ;)

Scott, Cath, Eric, & Linz

 THEN WE WENT SKIING UP AT CANYONS! Despite the fact that I have been 3-4 times now, I still feel like I'm starting all over again every time. Frustrating. For loving to learn new things, I'm sure an impatient learner sometimes. Usually, I start to feel comfortable on skiis the last thirty minutes on the slopes, and then it's awesome!

We're cool!

How I felt most of the time skiing

Catherine insisted we take a "boot pic"

"This is supposed to be fun, right!??'

 THEN I WENT ON A SNOWSHOE/XCSKI/NATURAL HOT SPRINGS ADVENTURE with my friend Bethany & Robb up near Spanish Fork.

This was the view most of the way xc skiing...

Beautiful sunset!
