I have about 50 road side pictures like this. You would think I didn't grow up in Utah or something - but I just couldn't get over how beautiful everything looked in a blanket of snow. Everywhere we went I was taking pictures out the car window.
I think I could describe our vacation to Utah with three S's. 1. SICK 2. SINGING and 3. SNOW.
I already wrote how Luke and I were sick - but that was just the beginning. Let me just tell you that at any given point on this vacation - you could hear the distant sound of a loved one somewhere throwing up. It was so sad. Every morning we'd wake up and get a report of the newest person who spent the night by the toilet. It was so contagious. I think by the time we left the count was in the 40s!! There was some sick going on before we got there but I'm pretty sure we got the majority of those people sick. But it was bonding and memorable - right guys? Right? And some nice weight loss for the holidays? Anyone? Uh... ok, ok. Consider this my public apology.
So that was the sick part. Pgluh! Stay tuned for more about the singing.
This post is dedicated to the winter wonderland that Utah provided us this year. It was truly magical. It has been three years since we enjoyed a Utah winter - so we soaked it all in during our short stay. I hope someday we can live in Huntsville and our kids can play in its bounteous snow.

Oh, I miss Huntsville also! Hey- I think I have a picture of you and Joey at the 'ice skating competition' we had in Huntsville like 14 years ago. Remember that!! LOL. At that point you were just dreaming of being Joeys wife.
Sorry you guys were so sick!
We went to North Carolina to go tubing and 3 of the 7 of us were sick, and I was just getting better. It was kind of a bummer. We just stayed in the condo and watched stupid movies the whole time. So, while our sick # didn't come any where near matching yours, I feel your pain!
oh, lovely lovely! looks like so much fun!
I didn't know you snowboard! I did back in the olden days too. beautiful pictures
I love you too Huntsville!!! We went sledding up there not to long ago, I need to go ice skating...I remember when we pretended we were ice princess and we skated until our toes were frozen!
What a bee-ootiful place we live in! Great pictures! Makes me want to get outside more!
I took a ton of pics like that, too! In Logan canyon, right? So pretty. Looks like you guys did tons of fun stuff while you were here. We're so glad you got stuck with us for a couple days.
Looks like you had loads of fun. Don't be afraid to move to Utah if the notion ever strikes you.
Jeff and I loved coming back to Utah to see the snow, too. We specifically requested a white Christmas, and we got it! So fun to see you guys before you (and we) left. And, by the way, since Joey didn't even show up at the Christmas Eve party until we were leaving, I'm pretty sure he didn't give us the nasty blarghiness.
