Despite This Cloudless Crystal-Blue-Sky-Day,

I must admit I was a little grumpy earlier--samsara swirling me up. But then Keith whisked me off to the mountains where we proceeded to hike in the snow and throw snowballs and slide down a mountain in our shoes while the sun dazzled us. Our excursion ended with a chocolate malt complete with whipped cream and cherry on top that we shared at the Blue Plate diner. Am I making you gag yet?

Salt Lake!!


Have I failed to mention I am in love with Salt Lake?
Back in Baltimore before we moved, I had a list. A list of certain things our home in Salt Lake needed: giant clawfoot bathtub, fireplace, windowseat, garden. Check check and check!
And so here we are in Salt Lake, surrounded by mountains and roses in our little home on a hill.
