Nothing New

I feel like I have been away from the blog for so long. I have been looking at it everyday and reading all of my favorites every day, but I have had some trouble coming up with anything to write. I do not want to just post a bunch of jibberish just to post something. But on the other hand, on a day to day basis, at least the last week or so, there has been nothing incredibly new to report. I have been quilting, but not enough progress yet to discuss on here. I have been cooking, but nothing really exciting or interesting enough to discuss. Every day is pretty much the same for me. I love my life, but I don't think it would be particularly interesting to many other people. Maybe I should be paying more attention to what is going on around me, slow down and appreciate the world that I live in and the things I see and experience more.Trae and I went to Tahoe again on Sunday night after he got off work. We stayed with my aunt and uncle again. It was a very nice quick trip. We skied all day on Monday, they got a very nice big storm over the weekend. Trae got his fix of fresh powder and I got to stay on the groomers and in the terrain park, which I am loving more and more. Bella had a wonderful time playing in the snow, no surprise there. We got some very funny pictures of her too. We came back around noon on Tuesday because Trae had to cover for someone on Tuesday night. Not too sure what is on the docket for the rest of the week. So I guess my task is to now pay more attention when I am out running errands to find people, sights, or whatever else I can appreciate and seems big enough to write about!

We're Back!!

I am so proud of the picture I took of Lake Tahoe! It is beautiful and pictures will never do it justice. This was taken from a cornice at Alpine Meadows in Truckee, CA. It was so much fun. We skied for 2 days and boy are we sore now. Our calves and shins hurt. But it was a lot of fun. We had lots of good food and met new people and caught up with old friends. I just had to share a few pictures from our trip. I feel like all we have been posting about lately is Tahoe, but I guess that is because we have been excited about this trip. Well, it is over now and although it was fun, we will be posting about everyday life again.
Oh I have to share this. Oh, Fransson! is hosting a sew along and she has absolutely beautiful quilts. You must check it out. Well I am very late in joining but I got some fabric today for the quilt she is doing. I will present that tomorrow. Can't wait!

I have really enjoyed being back with my sweetie this week. I really love that in our relationship, we don't have to fill our time with things to do or places to go to have quality time together. Most of the time, we sit and watch movies. This week we both got a little stir crazy though and had to get out of the house for a little bit. So we went to Home Depot to walk around and look at things for the remodel we are slowly trying to do to our home, which we don't live in. Not only do we not live in it, we are on the opposite side of the country from it right now. I know, it doesn't make for an easy or quick remodel, however, we are doing what we can. This week I have been getting the house very clean and getting all of my paperwork done for grad school. Nothing too exciting on the home front here. Monday we are heading to Tahoe for a few days of skiing. We are sooo excited. They just got a load of new snow, several feet to be more specific. That makes us happy. What is even more exciting, Trae called an old friend of his in the area who has a home in Squaw Valley, only one of the ritziest part of town to see if he still rented out his home. Well, he does and he is letting us use it practically for free. The only thing we have to do is to make a small donation to the local church and that is it!!! I can definitely do that. This is soo exciting because the house overlooks the valley and it is just gorgeous. House rentals in this area can go for several thousand a night, so we are getting an incredible deal!! Anyway, enough about that, even though Trae could talk about it and get all worked up over it until he is blue in the face and be completely happy. Bella is very excited too, she loves playing in the snow! The pictures below ALWAYS make me smile! She makes us laugh constantly! Sorry not much to tell! Maybe next time!
