"i slipped on the had and that is why i have the snow"

We just got back from dinner at Cafe Rio for Lindsay's 22nd birthday - happy birthday Lindsay! Lots of fun and, of course, delicious food. When we got home I slipped on the ice and scraped my knee and tore my jeans at the knee. Now I'm upset, and really really wishing this winter would just end. It snowed just about every day in January, and things don't exactly look promising for the next couple of weeks. It's dismal, really. Or maybe I'm just mad my knee hurts and now I have to take my pants to Nordstrom to get all stitched up.

In other news (besides it being extremely cold and snowy all the time), Eric and I are really looking forward to this coming summer. Eric's been looking up different campsites all over Utah since we're planning on doing a lot of weekend camping trips this summer and finally breaking in the tent and sleeping bags we bought over a year ago (well, one of the sleeping bags got pretty good use for 2 months while I was at field school...). We have two trips to Oregon planned: one to Wallowa Lake for the Prince family reunion, and another to Portland for when Lindsay and Mark get married (yay for them, I'm still really excited about it). We might rent a cabin on the coast for a night while we're up there - that would be heavenly. And, Shannon's probably coming up to Utah for part of the summer and we're going to take a scuba diving class together and get certified. Fun times to be had ahead...as soon as we get out of this dreary, icy winter.

I sort of don't understand the title... but I suppose that's to be expected. I need winter to end also... I'm jealous of all these people who go on cruises and go to tropical islands and to the southern hemisphere where it is summer right now!! Here we are, stuck in the middle of the snow, and all we have to look forward to is 2 weeks of balmy spring before being baked into oblivion by a hazardously dry and hot summer. Utah sucks beans. And not the cool kind. But anywho, I like your blog. How does one create a blog and put pictures on it and all that jazz? Maybe I'll make one for our family since most people related to us don't really want to join Facebook to look at pictures of Nate... and I don't blame them. =)
