Ok, ok. I will admit, I haven't been doing the best job of trying to keep my blog up. But, I have been really busy since I left Thailand. December hit and...well, we all know it is a pretty busy month. For those of you who don't know, I relocated to Salt Lake City. It's like a breath of fresh air to leave New Orleans, literally and figuratively. I'm sure I will have to return in a year or so, but in the meantime, I am going to live it up. I still get to go back from time to time for work. It is a really nice place to visit. I even got to catch a Mardi Gras parade this year.
The first thing I did when I got to SLC is I bought a season pass at Alta. Skiing is so much fun. I only have like 30 ski days so far, and may get in a few more before the season comes to a depressing end. But, what I have is a lot better than sitting around in New Orleans just dreaming of skiing. The season has been amazing, the best ever.
I also made it down to southern Utah to do some camping. It was so much fun. I had a really good time. We went to Canyonlands, the needles part. Which, if I would have paid more attention in my geology classes, I would know a lot more about them. But, they were still cool to look at, even though I couldn't explain in complete detail about how they were formed. Dayna and I were able to also go to Arches National Park. Which was cool, I probably could have done without the wind.
My parents also came to visit me in March. It was cool because we were able to go skiing with each other. My dad was able to give me a few pointers and helped me to take my skiing to the next level. Ummm...wait. That's not what happened. Enjoy the pictures!!
