ooooh scary

We had the annual Halloween bonfire on Saturday. I was just not feeling the character bug so I pulled out my inner nerd, fast and simple. Justin had been growing out his beard so his options would be enhanced, however when it came down to it we had stuff to be a bearded lady. We had a great night with scary cat stories, musical entertainment and roasted marshmellows.

Birthday Weekend

This last weekend Justin celebrated the big 27. Since he had school off and I had work off I surprised him with a weekend away. His brother and sister were nice enough to let us use their cabin and we took full advantage. We spent Friday morning riding the horses and enjoying the gorgeous weather. We headed up to the cabin that afternoon and as Justin dutifully tended the fire so I could be warm I finished preparations for the party. I was afraid no one would come since we were asking them to drive to Solitude but they all showed up. We have such great friends. The cabin was crowded with fourteen adults and three babies. I had forgotten games so we ended up just talking the whole night. I know that may seem boring but we always have a blast when we get together. Saturday we went rock climbing with my sister and cousin. They did great and scaled the wall perfectly. I on the other hand started hypeventilating five inches off the ground. Justin was free climbing next to me telling me where to put my feet and hands. When it was too high for him he left me and I continued climbing to Taisa's cheers of encouragement. I decided that I have this deep fear of heights that comes out when standing on a lake powell cliff trying to decide if I want to jump and when strapped to a rope anywhere from five inches to 50 feet off the ground. After a quick nap we went to Park City to enjoy a nice dinner. It was the first time I have been to Park City's Main Street. I had a great night. Sunday was a relaxing day spent mostly fishing and reading our respective books. It seems weird but I like just reading with Justin even though we don't talk much. That night we went to his moms for dinner and enjoyed Justin's favorite augratin potatoes. It was a great weekend for us and great to spend time together. I am anxiously anticipating the next time I get to spend some extended time with Justin.

Small or Mini?

Seeing as I have no real exciting news to blog about I will share a common topic of discussion around our house. Justin is now obsessed with getting a puppy. He looks on the KSL dog classified section at least several times a day. Last time he went through this phase he wanted a German Sheperd. That need was filled when his dad purchased one instead. He is now looking at mini Austrailian Sheperds. I have told Justin that when we purchase our own home (in maybe twenty years) he can buy the dog of his choice. I would like a dog that could be inside with me. I would like something similiar to what his brother has, possibly a West Highland Terrier. What do you guys think?
