Part Three

Ok, so here is more of our Park City Trip.

.

After Logan and I rode up to the top of the mountain at Deer Valley, we rode back down. But there were some amazing views on at the top and on the way down. Gliding through in the quiet of the day, no noise or cars or dogs, just stillness and this beauty was enough to make the whole trip worth it. There is a peace to be found up there. And the best part was that I didn't feel the need to talk, we could just ride in silence, thinking our own thoughts and just being. I love that!

View from the top, it was beautiful!

After we got down off the mountain Logan and I hit some shopping and lunch. We ate at a place called The Hungry Moose. Logan had a bison burger and I had some sandwich. It was decent and it was nice to take a bit of a break.

Downtown Park City is full of little shops full of all kinds of things. From expensive to super cheap and we loved every minute of it. Logan found this great hat that is perfect for the Red Neck Festival we are going to this weekend. He also found in the fur store window a fur jock strap that made my skin crawl. He found all the ways possible to remind me of it and tried to get me to take a picture, but there was no way I was going to waste a picture on that!

Tricia joined us again after her meetings ended and we went on another lift ride. This one was just through the town and up the mountains that downtown is nestled between. It wasn't a good as Deer Valley but it was fun none the less. We tried to take pictures of the three of us but didn't manage to get good ones on my camera. How is it that Tricia can always look so good, Logan always looks the same and I always look totally weird in pictures? I have no idea.

We shopped and laughed and joked and just plan had fun on this trip. I am grateful everyday for the great friends I have in Tricia and Logan. I don't have a family of my own and my family is far away and we don't really keep in touch that much (well, except for me and Rachel) and they have helped to fill the void.

Once a week we get together and do our own little FHE and discuss a topic related to something we heard at church or somewhere. Last week was miracles. We talked about big miracles and little ones and I just kept thinking what a miracle it was to have the two of them right now. They are supportive and love me even when I have a bad day. When I am in tears and upset they still care. They are my family. Last night we got together for half and hour and just chatted about our day and then Logan hung some shelves for me and helped moved some heavy stuff, Tricia gave help with my living room remodel. It was just so nice to feel so comfortable and I feel blessed to have them.

I am a little busy at the moment, so pardon my lack of posts. Enjoy this video of our ride up to the top of the mountain. Logan and I always seem to find a way to enjoy ourselves.

I promise to finish sharing our P.C. adventure soon.

Park City, Part One

Well thanks to Tricia and her work retreat, I got a mini-vacation to Park City this last week. She got a room at a hotel in Park City and she invited Logan and I up one night to enjoy some time away. So after work Thursday Logan and I headed up there for our adventure.

First we got lost and had to turn around a few times which made us late for Dinner. So we ended up eating at a Chinese place that was good. We had Orange Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken and Crispy Duck. All were great. I like duck and was glad when Logan decided that was what he wanted. It was great.

We enjoyed some Guitar Hero and some random walks around the hotel. It was so much fun to just be away and to be away with my two best friends. We ended up watching Selena on TV until almost 2am! At which point the lights went off, but we still giggled, laughed and threw pillows around for another hour.

In the morning, Logan took forever to wake up. It was 10am before he got his bony butt out of bed! And the only reason he got up is because we started taking pictures of him. What a great way to start a day!

Sleepy Logan
Tricia trying to get us up in the morning, she was too cute! After we got up Logan and I headed up to the Deer Valley Ski Resort and took the ski lift up to the top of the mountain. I am not great with the lifts but Logan and I had a blast.

What beautiful views! It was so quiet and peaceful. I was really excited to just be away from the world for a little while. I loved the ride and Logan was a great companion for the day. He knows when to be quiet and listen and when to change the subject. As you can tell from the last post, he had a lot of fun teasing me by shaking the ski lift and it was not funny at the time but now I have to laugh at it.

What a great view on our way down!

Logan and I at the top of the mountain. We took two pictures and one I am making a weird face and the other he is. So I picked the one I looked good in to share.

I can do that because it is MY blog.

Watch out for part two of our trip and some great videos.
