Some of My Favorite photos!

Paris April 2009

So, I went to Paris. My Friend Stephanie takes people to Paris every year. This year was my turn. It was an amazing adventure. I saw the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, The Louvre, Musee D'Orsee, The Rodin museum (home of the famous Thinker), Versailles(home to Marie Antoinette) Napolean's tomb, Chatuea Pierfonds (a medeviel castle), and so much more. My favorite was the castle. I felt like a Princess the moment that I first saw it. We were able to wander around it and explore it. It was an amazing experience!

Snowboarding Rocks

So, My winter obsession is Snowboarding. I try to go at least twice a month. I love it! This is me! It looks like I'm going so slow, but I'm really not. This is the day that I fell on the first run and got a minor concussion. Can you say it "Rang My Bell". Thank goodness for my helmet, or I would have been rushed to the emergency room instead of finishing out the day. I'm a little stubborn and it was such a beautiful day, I didn't want to be a party pooper. It was worth it!

What happens in Vegas....

Well, I guess it's been a while since I updated my blog...Sorry about that! Not much has been happening that is exciting, yet. I started a facedbook page and that has been taking some of my online time. Again, Sorry....Enough of the apologies. So, over Valentines weekend a bunch of my friends and I went to Las Vegas for an LDS Singles Conference. They offered some interesting classes, but, alas no Prince Charming did I find. We had a ton of fun though! We did a bit of shopping and some sight seeing on the strip.

So, I guess I've been tagged:)

The assignment was to go to the sixth file and find the sixth photo and blog about it. Well, honestly I'm not the best at downloading my photos in a timely manner. I did two years all at once. So, I went to my single massive folder and chose the 36th photo to write about. Two years ago I took a cruise with some friends. The destination was the Bahamas. If you have seen Casino Royale, Nassau (in the above photo) is where James Bond goes to "Relax" in the beginnig of the movie. In the top left corner you can see the south edge of their famous hotel The Atlantis. Everything there is very colorful from the buildings to the womens hair. The main island is very poor and dirty. Seen above is Paradise Island where the wealthy and famous reside. The locals said that Oprah, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, and one of the original James Bonds Sean Connery all have homes there. Who knows if any of it is true or if they just say that to impress us naive tourists. It is always good to get outside of our own little world we have here and see how other people live. I have a greater appreciation of how blessed we are in the states and particularly here in Utah.

So, the other night I went to an "Apple Ugly Party". We took carameled apples and used assorted candy to decorate them. Mine is the red headed one....Not too exciting. The best in my humble opinion was Cat's. It was a mummy...She used bubble tape gum for the wrap and a gummie eyeball for the cyclops eye. They were all great!

I think I am the worst blogger, the truth is I don't ever take my camera to anything to take pictures...maybe I should do that.

I went to the zoo last Saturday with Brandi, James and their two girls, Ashlynn and Tegan. They loved every minute of it. I am now convinced that September is the time to go. It's not too hot or crowded. There were a lot of baby animals scurrying around. The girafffes are my favorite, they have such beautiful eyes. I still miss the hippos though!
