For Thanksgiving this year I went to Gabe's house in Washington. Here we all are, about to taste our feast! Gabe smoked the turkey this year. It had a very delicious flavor! (And it wasn't as dry as he thought it was.) During my visit, I watched a lot of TV/movies and took a few naps. It was wonderful!! Here I am in my favorite napping location: With my two favorite cuddle-buddies*: Gabe and

At least, it was warm in St. George in November. I went and spent a day with Grandma Pete a couple weeks before Thanksgiving. During the visit, we played our traditional game of Rummikub: This is a photo I took in November: And this is a photo I took in 2006: Pretty similar! That Saturday we went over to the horseshoe courts to hang out with my family a bit. Here's Papa pitching: And

Now that I've caught up with my National Park posts, I will now post about the traveling I have done since visiting the parks! First, here are a couple jack-o-lanterns I carved around Halloween. I like that the one on the right sort of looks like a strawberry.  The last weekend of October, I went to Albuquerque to visit my friend Michael. Fall had mostly already fallen in Northern Utah, so

Whew! It's about time I post information about my trip to Arches and Canyonlands! It was over three months ago, but I haven't posted, because I wanted to wait until I had my design projects complete (as per my NPT requirements) and then things just got busy. But, finally, here it is.... The Friday before Labor Day, I went to Arches National Park. It was the first time I visited a park without a

As Thanksgiving approaches I would like to share with all ya'll a few things that I am grateful for, by listing something for a letter (or letters, as the case may be) of the alphabet each day of November... ending on Thanksgiving Day. Funny story: I thought I had done this little alphabet exercise last year, so I took a look (but nope, I wrote about my new job/friends/food in November 2010). So

On August 27, I took a quick trip down to Southern Utah and visited Bryce Canyon with my sister Jenny & her family and my friend Heather. I was happy to squeeze in another National Park for my NPT (National Park Tour). One that I hadn't planned on getting this year! We arrived in mid afternoon, and I was worried that we wouldn't have much daylight. But, we had enough and were able to enjoy a

So, some of my friends have had crushes on such men as Vin Diesel, Colin Firth, Matt Damon, Denzel Washington and Rupert Grint, and while I can see why, I've never really gotten into the "celebrity crush" mania. Until now. I have a crush on the Questar Gas mascot, Therm. I know he's kinda dorky and probably married in real life (don't tell me, if that's true!)... but he's so cute! And, you know

Back in June, my sister Jenny & her family came for a quick visit while Jenny & Dave raced in the Tour de Cure in Brigham City. Here are some pics of the fun time we had together: Then in July I got to play with Amy's kids when Amy & Scott came up to Logan for a quick movie/dinner date.

In June I attempted to hike the Jardine Juniper trail with some friends: It has been quite a wet year; this dewy plant testifying of such: Not far up the trail we had to jump over a small stream, but we managed well enough.

The Thursday before Memorial Day, my friend Katy and I headed to South Dakota to see Wind Cave and Badlands Nationals Parks, as part of my National Parks Tour (view the first NPT report here).  On our way out of Utah, we stopped at Bear Lake,  and picked up a famous raspberry shake (although, since it's not raspberry season, these shakes were made from frozen raspberries). We enjoyed the

With a touch of narcissism, and inspired in part by an article,  I celebrated... me... for Valentine's Day. First, I kissed myself (okay, they're earrings):  And then on the way to work, I bought myself a rose: This rose was as close as I could come to my favorite rose, which is something like this (yellow, with red tips): Which reminds me of another favorite flower of mine, Lantana, that I

Today was so fun! Everything I did, I enjoyed. And it was so FULL! I did... everything. Well, almost. Running I started the day out by running 7 miles. I'm training for a few races this year. It wasn't a very warm day, but I didn't feel cold after I was out and about (especially, because I had the head warmer that Jenny gave me for Christmas). I was so happy to run outside!

I like making goals. Last year I didn't do so well at keeping all of the resolutions/goals I made, but I feel pretty good about what I did accomplish. Take a look at last year's list. I'll also debrief here: Recap of 2010 Resolutions I won't really give you specifics about whether or not I prayed regularly, studied the scriptures consistently or attended the temple frequently; but just know

So many thoughts are going through my head and, after just finishing watching "Julie & Julia", something inside of me wants to blog about those thoughts. And so I am. What a wonderful thing food is. Or things, I should say. And I sure did eat a lot of food today. During the "Julie & Julia" gathering with my co-workers... or... my old co-workers, as of today... during the movie we ate a lot of

"Why should we go to Switzerland to see mountains or to Iceland for geysers? With Yosemite and Yellowstone, now we have attractions that diminish Niagara into an ordinary expedition." Some of you may already know about my goal of a lifetime to visit all of the US National Parks. I'd like to announce that I have officially begun the National Parks Tour (NPT)! I have four requirements while I

At 3 am on July 3, we boarded the bus and headed to the airport:  Hmm... now I think this is the Newark airport again: You can see Manhattan in the distance: Beautiful skies... The Utah Rockies... ... this is when I knew that it was okay that I had to come home again. When I got to SLC, I got to hang out with Aldo for a bit... ... in the Sky club room (or

On July 2 we got up early and headed to the train station. Here's an interesting sign by the station: Here are Katie, Cami and Bethany waiting for the train to take us away from Lugano: The view from the train was breath-taking... I loved these bridges: Oh, and a couple times we climbed the hills in circles through tunnels... that didn't really make sense, but that's the best I can do at

Anyway, here are some beautiful shots of Cinque Terre (from Monterosso while we're waiting for our early train): We had a train change in Milan, so here are some views of the station: Don't worry, I made sure not to take the picture with the posters of naked people in the background.

On June 28, I learned a very important thing. There is no 6:58 am train from Leysin to Aigle on Monday mornings like Cami and I had originally thought. That was problematic for us, considering we had two more trains to catch that day. Missing that first train connection would put us behind schedule and cause us to miss our other trains. Well, as things turned out, we walked back down to the

After church on June 27, I wandered around Aigle before catching the train back home to Leysin. Here are some things I saw in Aigle: Little grapes: Interesting cat in the vineyard: Little did I know that seeing cats would become a common occurrence once I got into Italy. This old castle is a wine museum now: I wandered up the hill from the museum and thought that perhaps the road

I left early in the morning on June 26 and headed back up to Bern... ... to the Temple: Lindsay, Jamie, Cami and Katie did baptisms: Bethany, Cullen, me, Kelden and Pam did an endowment session: I was so happy to be able to go! The session was in French, so we had headsets. Kelden listened in Italian (the language of his mission), Bethany a little bit in Spanish (the language of hers)

On June 25, we headed down the mountain to Geneva for the last day of "class": Have I ever mentioned how much this train reminded me of the train I took in Taiwan (in Alisan)? Well, it's true. It reminded me a lot of that train: Especially because of the style of the train: And the foliage: And the tunnels: And the bridges: Here are mustached Cherie, Jeremy, Marissa,

We started off June 24 with some free time in Zürich. Katie, Cami and I ate our lunch by this little river with a couple of feisty ducks: Then we went to this old castle: Which was the National Museum, just ask Cami: We couldn't take pictures inside, which simplifies things a bit. Also, I felt like we had to hurry through... so that wasn't too fun. One thing I remember liking in the museum was

We went to one of my favorite places on June 23. It was AMAZING here. So beautiful. We started near Interlaken (sort of by Lake Thun): And headed up to see the top of Europe: In a gondola: Later, Bob drove the train. Or, at least pretended to.

On June 22, we headed back up through Basel and into Germany. We visited Vitra (a furniture company). Here's the Vitrahaus, that we would enter at the end of our tour: We never had the chance to go into this museum, designed by Frank Gehry: But, our tour included these interesting places: That is not a bridge. It's a roof covering a walkway. And when the rain is particularly bad, they can

Monday, June 21 was originally planned to be the day we went Lauterbrunnen Valley, but we had to "flex" as Bob called it, and due to the rainy weather, we swapped a couple days around and took the train to Bern instead: We always went to Aigle first. Aigle, we learned, means eagle. My friend Katie really liked the logo on this little car: Here are some elderly fellows playing chess in

Finally, on June 20, we had a chance to go to church! There were 14 of us that went. Here are some of the girls waiting for the train (out of the rain): The chapel: From the outside: This figure was there before the Church rented the space. I think it's funny, and if only he had a tag, he'd be a missionary welcoming the people in: Don't fall over... there are only four photos on this day!

On June 19, we went to the Caillers Chocolate Factory: This appeared to be a room prepared for a cooking class. Too bad that wasn't part of our tour! First, we watched interesting old commercials while we waited for our tour to begin: Then, we learned about the cocoa bean and it's beginnings in the world of chocolate: Our assignment here was to use design-thinking principles and evaluate

June 18 was one of my favorite days in Switzerland. I think if I only had this one picture, you would understand why: Luckily, I have more than one picture to show you! First we went to the Spiez Castle on Lake Thun. We didn't have an appointment and, as it turned out, there was a Mazda dealership anniversary in Switzerland party going on, complete with a live re-enactment of the time period.

We started our day (June 17) by the edge of Lake Geneva in Lausanne. We spent most of the morning learning about solar-powered boats as well as an ocean voyage by the particular company who makes the boats. I don't know what that is, but I thought it was cool. Anyone know? After the presentations, we went for a nice ride in one of the solar-powered boats. Here's Christa: Kelden,

On June 16, we headed to Fribourg. The French call it free-burg and the Germans call it fry-burg. I particularly liked this clock. Little square lights sped around the diameter each second, as you may be able to see here... Downtown in Fribourg. This was the statue near the place we were told to meet back after having found something to eat for lunch: (I think she has buyers remorse.) After

That's right, on June 15, we stayed in our home village of Leysin. For most of the day we gathered in groups, brainstormed ideas, and designed concepts for lockers... that we planned to show to a representative of a furniture company a couple weeks later. It was a fun day and I enjoyed the process of working with the group (which is rare) and I liked our finished design. I wish I had the sketches

June 14 proved to be a very unique day. First, we headed up really close to the German border to Basel. We had some time to kill before our connecting train down to Dornach, so we wandered around Basel... Bethany, Dora and Mike: The train station in Basel: Our destination in Dornach was the Goetheanum. The building was designed by Rudolf Steiner, or at least in accordance to his

With June 13 being a Sunday, I had really hoped to attend church. But, once again, that was not really an option, since it was Stake Conference that day. Instead I boarded the train... And took a ferry from Nyon, across Lake Geneva... ... with the self-named Team Awesome... ... to France. Yvoire is known for it's beautiful flowers amid the backdrop of medieval architecture. First,

On June 12, we went to the cow fights. What an interesting day! Essentially, the cattle owners gather together to watch the cows in their herds battle for who will become the next queen. Apparently, unlike bulls, the cows don't forget movement as quickly (holding a grudge longer?) and continue to pick fights with each other. There is a spot in the middle of the forehead, that when hit with an

On June 11, we headed up to the train station again. This little child care setting is next to the station. I always felt so sad when I walked by it. What's the point of living in such a lush and magical place if your playground is made of cement? We took the train to Luzern. Here's Rachel, Carlie, Cami, Bethany & Katie: Usually everyday Bob would give us an hour to find some lunch. We're

On June 8, we headed out on foot (after taking a train and two buses) to the Great Saint Bernard Pass. In order to have the privilege of staying the night at the monastery (which is not really a monastery it's a hospice), we had to do a pilgrimage. Our pilgrimage began with hiking... I liked the graphics on this sign... Did I mention this hike was all uphill? After reaching the second "

On June 7th we got on the train... ...passed the waterfall to the south of Aigle... (I think someone called it a name in reference to cow urine... don't know how true that is.) And we went to Sion (Zion). First we stopped at this church in the town: This it the back of Mitch's head: Then we walked through the town and came to this old shack... .. and building... ... where

On Sunday, June 6, we had our first day of "classes". Bob didn't want to give us a free day just yet, he thought we'd sleep it all away and worsen our jetlag. I was a little disappointed that we didn't have the chance to attend church, but I still found my little ways to keep the Sabbath day holy... as holy as I could anyway. Here is the view we had every morning as we waited for the train. On

Welcome, Willkommen, Bienvenu, and Benvenuto. Please sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. The first day of my Switzerland adventure was actually two days... June 4 and 5. Here's my excited little face in the plane from SLC to Newark: I'm wearing my glasses, instead of contacts, for two reasons. (1) I had long flights ahead of me, so I planned to sleep if I could, and (2) I had just discovered a

Well, it's a good thing I've been taking pictures, so I have something to post on here. Well, I suppose I could write tons of stuff, but perhaps that would be pretty boring. Here's what I've been up to. In March we had a little Relief Society activity to celebrate the Relief Society's birthday. Here are some great supportive sisters from my ward (Chandi, Kristina, Kim & Sariah): Speaking of my

Actually, I really don't like February, and it has very little to do with the holiday in the middle (and I'm not talking about president's day), and mostly to do with the bleak, drab, cold days. But that's not what I want to write about. I normally have shied away from posting much about love and dating on my blog... perhaps it has come through here and there anyway. Well, tonight I felt like

In no particular order, and without particular meaning... here are 101 things that I've thought about in the past couple days, in celebration of my 101st post. 1. Where's that paper? 2. I should go to bed early tonight. 3. I think I'm gonna be late. 4. I'm hungry. 5. I want those two to get married. 6. I hope this meat is done. 7. Brrr... cold. 8. I love the temple. 9.

This is my 100th post! Wow... I wish I had something more exciting to write. I only wanted to give a little update on my virtual route to the Mexican border. I haven't updated in a very long time (mostly because I wasn't really making progress, shame on me). Here's where I am: Total Miles: 558.5 miles (from Cedar City)Approx.

Oh, the joys of home ownership. A few weeks ago my garbage disposal died. I heard the motor struggle and quit. The switch no longer worked. The garbage disposal was dead. However, I didn't know why... but I was too wrapped up with finishing my semester and enjoying my holiday break to take the time to look into it. Today some family friends stopped by to check it out for me. And wouldn't you

The other day I was doing some online stalking (it's true) and was getting a little frustrated because I found next to nothing about a certain person. Well, I thought I'd google my name and see what things I could find out about myself. I discovered: information about 3 places I have worked or currently work (location, coworkers' names, job titles, things I did, my salary-yikes!, newsletters,

I just finished working on a couple assignments in the computer lab on campus. It's about 10 pm. I've been sitting here since about 5 pm. Nice.

I had a really fun time growing a garden this year. I tried a few vegetables last year, but I learned that I planted them in the wrong place (the backyard). I decided this year to plant a few in the front yard (south-facing) to see if they would live. I transplanted the tulips and whatever flowers were in the front to the backyard (as well as put in irises that were given to me). Here’s the

I decided it was high time to check in with my virtual route progress. My first destination was Cedar City, to which I arrived at the end of May. Now I'm heading to the Mexican border (don't worry, I'll remember to bring my travel documents, passport, birth certificates, etc. so if I choose to travel back into the country, I will be able to return). Total Miles: 252.5 miles (from Cedar City)

Wow - I'm there! I virtually made it to Cedar City (aka my parents' house)! When I put up the poll for the last virtual route update, I originally marked that I would finish my route by July 31, not May 31... holy cow, what happened?! I amaze myself.

In honor and support of my friend Wendy heading to Taiwan to teach English, I thought I'd post a few videos of some of my adventures there. Here's the first one, which highlights one my favorite things about Taiwan. (Feel free to skip through any parts that are too long.) I have been reminiscing since Wendy has been planning to go to Taiwan. Here are a few entries from my journal about

Since the weather has gotten warmer, it's been a little easier for me to progress on my virtual route. Here's the latest:Total Miles: 276.5 milesApprox. Time: 4 days 18 hoursHere I am making my way through Fillmore. I was hoping to get a picture by the "You've Got A Friend in Fillmore" billboard, but I guess they've taken that one down. Ah well...

I'd like to start this post off by sharing something from my journal.Wednesday, September 28, 2005So, lately the "in" thing... is to create & write in a blog. This word only came into my vocabulary within the last few months. It's a website that a person can go and record her thoughts & feelings about whatever & then people can read them. Julie, Wendy and [Cardine] all have one. People can click

I've been wanting to change my background for a long time, but I wanted something simple. Blogger's templates are mostly inadequate for what I want, and every time I looked at the "cutest blog in the world" websites that offer backgrounds, I shuddered at how cute the backgrounds are. (No offense to anyone who uses them. Really. I like some of them, but they just weren't what I was looking for.)

It's March. I kind of have the idea that I'd like to post something to my blog at least once a month, so I now feel like it's time... yet, I don't have anything to say...I guess I could tell you that I spent about 15 hours working on my graphic design assignment in the computer lab on Friday, Saturday, and today (not Sunday - I don't do homework on Sundays). And I still have a little bit left to

So, I feel like there is so much to write about, but it's hard to know where to begin. Maybe I'll start with how school is going and let my thoughts wander to other aspects of my life as it sees fit.Don't miss MISI have a 7:30 class three days a week - 7:30 AM.

Another quick virtual route update: I'm coming upon Layton, after a brief stop off at my sister's house in Clearfield. We had a nice visit and I enjoyed playing with little Emma, but I felt like I needed to cut the visit short and get going on my way again soon after I arrived. You see, I've been moving really slowly lately, due to laziness.Total Miles: 59 miApprox. Time: 1 day 8.5 hrsHere I am

My friend explains on her blog: "This is Heather's personal journal that she lets family and friends read." I feel that a few of my posts are like that... in that they are updates on my personal goals. I have discovered that this is a great place for me to track progress, as you may have already noticed on my sidebar. With that in mind, feel free to read on.2008 ResolutionsYear's Supply of Food

It has been a while since I've posted my school projects. That is mainly due to the fact that two of the classes I've taken in the past couple semesters have not been in any sort of digital format, so I've had to do some scanning in order to share them with you. Warning... it's kind of a long post!PhotographyI took Photography last May. It was a whirlwind class that I enjoyed; however, I have

Just a quick update to let you know where I am in my virtual route. Total Miles: 28 miApprox. Time: 17 hrsI've mostly been walking on my treadmill and swimming, although occasionally it has been warm enough to walk, run or bike outside. In the past 25 miles I've gone through beautiful Sardine Canyon, into Brigham City (famous for its Peach Days), and finally to Interstate 15. I'm now southbound

This month at church I heard about this idea: to list one thing, starting with a different letter of the alphabet, for which I am thankful. I thought it would be fun to do a count-down to Thanksgiving - one letter per day (there are 26 days of November prior to Thanksgiving day). So, here it is...AI am glad that my sister Amy and her family live so close; they're just an hour away. Times when

I read an interesting article in a health & fitness newsletter that I get at work. It was about how to keep your treadmill workouts interesting. One of the ideas was:Record your mileage and see how long it takes you to walk around the perimeter of the U.S. - 12,000 miles. Use a map and pushpin to keep track of where you are.That got me excited and it got me thinking. Since the weather has gotten

There's a lot of inpirational material to chose from, but I'll just include my very favorites, in order to keep this post succinct.*The General Relief Society BroadcastLoved it.

TriathlonLast weekend I participated in a "mini" triathlon with my friend Margee. It was organized by her ward Relief Society and anyone who wanted to could participate. It was tons of fun. And it was very "relaxed" - you could basically do what ever/how ever much you wanted. Here is Margee and me in the pool right before it began.

My good friends from Cedar (& Salt Lake most recently for one of them) came to visit last weekend. I really enjoyed their visit. It meant a lot to me to have them here in Logan with me for a couple days.On Saturday we went to the lunch buffet at Indian Oven. Yum! I ate way too much. The food inspired in us the desire to watch Lagaan and show it to the friends who hadn't seen it, yet. I found a

Hallelujah! I'm done with my Art History class!! The fourth (and final) week was really tough. I was just ready to be done with the class and not study (cram) any more. And now I am done - yea! Okay, okay... even though I am complaining that it was time consuming and hard, I was surprised to discover that I had also found time to read three novels and start a weaving project during the four-week

Well, I thought it about time that I post again. A lot has been happening these days. During my photography class in May, I decided to drop my ceramics class scheduled for June. I just wanted time to play outside while summer is here. I am now currently in another class (Art History) and wishing I could play more, but I don't want to postpone this one; I just need to get it out of the way. Anyway

I took a photography class in May. It was very interesting, but also a ton of work. I'm glad it's over even though I enjoyed it. I would post my photos here (assuming you would like to see them), but the photo class was not digital. I took pictures the archaic way with black and white 35 mm film, processed them into negatives, and printed them in the dark room. It was a very fascinating process,

Just in case you're interested... here are a few projects from my Spring Semester classes. These three are from my drawing class. I already included a couple other drawings in the previous post. The portrait is a pencil drawing. I had a hard time with the pencil. I actually enjoyed working with charcoal more than pencil. These two are charcoal drawings. For my final project in my drawing class, I

Here are a few more of my assignments. Most of them are from Fall semester. This first one is a broom made out of wire (3D Design). It was tough working with that wire. Ouch. This broom is now sweeping the dump. Another assignment in 3D Design was this module project. I didn't really like the way it turned out (it looked like a swiss cheese castle), but I did like this perspective. This cheese

A couple weeks ago I went to California with my family. We went to the beach one evening, then Disneyland for the rest of the week. I had a great time. Here are some pics. My sister Jenny took the picture of the pier. Nice, huh? We were at Newport Beach. It was the first time Ellyn and Quinn (blue suits) had been to the beach, I think. All the kids loved it.

I've been feeling stressed out about my classes, lately - to the point that I felt like I wanted to quit school (already!!) - but then, the other day I "got my second wind." I think it was because I felt good about one of my assignments. Here it is. It's a bookcover. In my other classes... I got 29/30 on my Art History midterm.
