Last Wednesday we decided to venture over to the local snowboard/ski shop and rent some cross country skis and go give it a try. Turns out one of Gaven's old mission buddies works at this place so I got to meet him and we all talked for awhile... He hooked us up with the only pair of cross country skis there and we were off. We decided to go up Parley's Canyon a ways to Mountain Del golf coarse (a popular place to go cross country skiing). It was so beautiful!!! There was already a track around the golf coarse but after seeing the pro's skiing along we thought we might try skiing in the new powder off the beaten path to try and get use to the skis. We watched a bunch of people trying to pick up how they were doing it. We fell a lot and laughed alot so it was good. Don't know if we were even doing it right but we both enjoyed trying something new.
Making our way up Parley's Canyon
We've enjoyed the buckets and buckets of snow. We went out late one night after it had just dumped on us and shoveled the walks and Gaven jumped in the snow! I got to cover him and take a picture.
Last Friday Sister Mary Grow got home from her mission. This past year and a half has flown by... I've missed her so much. She was one of my best friends and roommates during college. After I found out she was coming home on the 19th I tried to find out when her actual flight was scheduled to land so we could go see her. I finally ended up calling her mom and asking... It was so nice to see all the Grow's at the airport and so fun to see Mary again. She is an amazing person and I look up to her in many different ways.
Today Gaven was nice to take me all over downtown to drop off some fliers for the yoga studio. It took us pretty much all morning and into the afternoon. We were both beat. Thanks so much Gaven. I appreciate all you do for me!
We appreciate the notes and Christmas cards from many of you and hope that you all have a Merry Christmas.
