Desperate for Help

So I've realized that eventually my life will get busier with who knows what... but I am positive one day I will wake up and regret not taking advantage of these years where I don't have much to stress about other than making sure my socks match. With that, I want to create a list of things to do during the next few years or perhaps a Bucket List before Joseph starts working/graduate school in a few years. Joe and I've talked about a cruise for a while and we will hopefully go this summer. And then we're taking our trip to California next spring but I want more ideas. Here's my preliminary list. PLEASE help me think of more!!!

- Go Whitewater rafting in Utah
- Go to Bear Lake in Logan, UT
- Go on a cruise
- Hike Mt. Timp with Joseph
- Learn to knit
- Read some books (don't know which ones...)
- More sewing projects

Those of you who have lived in Utah a lot, what are fun excursions to do?

Thanks for your help!

Winter Wonderland

I've been lazy and haven't uploaded our Christmas pictures onto my computer. Go to Facebook to see the highlights.

It appears that Winter missed its debut as we have little snow on the grass and temperatures in the mid-40s continuously. As a recreational therapist intern, we had all these grand plans of taking the kids sledding, skiing (downhill and cross-country), and snow-shoeing; instead we are taking dogs on walks outside and enjoying not wearing a jacket most of the time. My internship is going great and I'm almost done with my second week! We've done a lot and I've learned a lot so far. We did get to go downhill skiing at Sundance yesterday, which was a blast. I haven't been on snow skis in quite a while so it was nice to be back.

Joseph started classes again and he is liking them. He's taking a reservoir engineering class as well a computer programming class (for fun!). His books, as usual, cost an arm and a leg but he keeps reminding me that a chemical engineer will make more money than what his books cost. I have a hard time believing him sometimes. He also started playing Church Ball this month and his team won last week I guess. He likes it and even scored some points!

That's our exciting lives in a nutshell! Sorry for the lame post!
