"Twas The Night Before Christmas"

A little more then 24 hours and it will be Christmas. Christmas is such a crazy, wonderful, time of year. The only thing bad about Christmas is the day after Christmas. All the fun seems to disappear in a day.

Of course we get to celebrate the New Year, we get to enjoy a little break from school, a little break from routine. But before you know it we are back to school, work, and routine.

If you live somewhere cold you are looking ahead of months of this;

Snow, cold weather, snow, ice and WINTER. Not that weather you people in warmer states get to enjoy. I'm talking bone chilling, will it ever end, WINTER.

Do you feel bad for me?

No!

How about now?

Still, No!

How about for the little birds that live in this house?

You shouldn't feel bad for them. They are smart enough to leave Utah when it gets cold.

They are some where warm and beautiful basking in the hot sun.

They are not dumb they know that ice covered homes are no fun.

They are at the beach.

Enjoying the ocean waves. Enjoying the sun. "Laughing all the way." away from the snow.

Who says birds are dumb?

Maybe I should take a clue from the birds. Skip the winter, head back to Hawaii. All I have to do is convince people that they want me to live in their backyard. So that they will build me a house. Learn to live off crumbs.

What do you think? Anyone want to build me a house in their WARM backyard?

You can come live in my backyard. I even have a tent! It is not all that warm though, we have been shivering all week in the bitter cold. It has gotten as chilly as the mid and low 40s...brrrrrrr.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real. Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself. By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive!

"Laughing All the Way"

Most of the year Brent lives a pretty quiet existence. He goes about his own business with out the world taking much notice, to what he is up to and what he is doing. However, when the snow starts falling, the neighbors start laughing. Brent has become the neighborhood novelty. The funny guy on the corner. The, "Can you believe that Brent was outside, in the snow, shoveling, while in his sandals." Yes you read that correctly. While I refuse to buy boots, because I don't live where it gets cold and snows, and one needs boots. Brent simply does not wear said boots. Unless, he is going to work and HAS to. To the neighbors this is Brent. A few have tried to explain to him the core differences between living in California and Utah. Like, say, wearing actual shoes while shoveling. Oh, and hey, a coat! Brent's California brain has not excepted these facts. In fact, he claims that his sandals have better traction. "Big Sigh," it is nice to know your husband ...
