Dogs

I am so sorry I haven't posted at all about our journey in Utah.  Honestly, I haven't had a day off since December 21st, and I have three more days of work until I get my first glorious day off.  So, needless to say, I am asleep by 8:30 at the earliest and 10:30 at the extreme latest.

I thought everyone might get a chuckle out of this though...

Brian and I came home yesterday to Mallard having pooped in her kennel.  We get that cleaned up and are about to go ship some packages, and Mallard decides to throw up on the rug.  So no packages got sent, just cleaning.

This morning, Lola throws up on me in bed.

What is going on?  Sick puppies that are destroying my rest.  I don't normally ask why we got these dogs, but this morning the question is on repeat.  Pray for the children I teach today and that I don't get criers.

Happenings

So, we have officially been here for a week and a half.  We finished training, got our uniforms, got our season passes, made friends, went out on the town, may have locked both sets of keys in the car, attended a Santa Bar Crawl, bought a $10 sofa, and have gone hiking a lot.  Brian starts work tomorrow.  I start work on Wednesday.

Pretty season passes fo a dollar!  

Our outfits for the bar crawl.  The hats were a hit.

Some of the friends we've made.  The one on the left is from Florida and the one in the middle is from Canada and is also now Brian's roommate.  

i will update more soon!  i promise.  pray for snow!  do a little snow jig!

 

We made it!

Well, I know that some are anticipating a fantabulous post.  And, as I promised, I will post, but I can't promise fantabulous.  We made it to Park City.  After 3 days (a total of 31 hours), traveling through Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and then Wyoming, we made it to Utah.  After the torrential all day downpour on Monday, meaning wet dogs/muddy car, it was a beautiful day on Tuesday and Wednesday.  We saw beautiful sunrises and sunsets, rolling hills, corn fields, windmills, and so much more.  I will post more later, rights now I am just going to have some pictures, feeling very sleepy.

First snow since we've been here.  I think there was a total of 4 inches.  Also, it has been single digits the past two days.  Meaning 7 degrees, and the windchill makes it -1.  Brrrr.  Frozen toes/frostbite.  

This is food from Squatters.  It is a microbrewery.  Surprising for a state so against alcohol.  The pie is a peanut butter/oreo pie.  The beer is called Polygamy Porter - "why just have one?"  Kind of hilarious.

This is the house that I am renting and paying way too much money for.  It is an old miner house.  Super cool.  Come visit.

Very happy puppies.  They get to go hiking almost every day and frolic in the snow.  They are LOVING it!

Till later.  Much love - j
