Getting Artsy

Date night this past weekend was spent with some great friends! In celebration of Angie's birthday, we went to Color Me Mine in Draper. I've never been before, but I've always wanted to go! You get to pick some pottery to paint, then they fire it for you and you pick it up a few days later!

Heath and I picked mugs. I'll wait to show the finished products until they are actually finished and in my possession. Think of it as a 'grand unveiling'... but here are some shots of the fun night!

The whole group!

(Don't judge, i had been at TNCC class alllll daaaayyyy)

Come back for the 'grand unveiling'! Obviously you wont want to miss it!

Birthday, part 2

I am officially 25! Doesn't feel one bit different to be honest! It's been a great one though!

Here's the follow up! (I'm pretty proud that I am actually writing this now, and not in February. Sweet.)

Heath and I survived snowboarding! The Canyons was great, as was our instructor, Rube! But I have to say, I am sooooo sore today! arms, legs, SORE! But we had so much fun!

 

 It was suuuuper slick on the snow, but it was so great to learn together!

 I love doing anything with this man. It's always fun!

After a long day of snowboarding we packed up our things and headed down to SLC to see Heath's parents! We went out to dinner at the Outback Steakhouse, then came home and opened some presents! Gotta love Birthdays! Plus. There was CAKE!

It's always sad to see our long weekend getaway end, but it was so fun and full of memories!

Birthday Weekend, part 1

It's my birthday! (on Tuesday, you still have time to get me an awesome present *winkwink*) Heath and I are spending the weekend prior to my birthday up in Park City at my grandparents' condo--sweet, right? I thought so. We've been getting some much need R&R.

Tomorrow, Heath & I are going snowboarding at The Canyons. Remember this post? We'll consider this to be our "to be continued". We are taking a class, seeing as Heath has never actually been snowboarding before, and I haven't been in so long, I figured it would probably be a good idea! Plus, it's no fun to do it alone!

I will post a 'Part 2' after tomorrow. Wish us luck!

So my birthday was on the 18th. [thank you to all of you who remembered!]

However, I actually celebrated on the 16th, due to Heath going to DC for the inauguration which he was invited to attend by one of the honor societies he is a part of.

We celebrated by going snowshoeing up at Soldier Hollow. It was really fun! I had been wanting to try it, so we got adventurous and broke away from the books for a few hours. Afterward, we came home and got cleaned up then ventured up to the Riverwoods. We ate dinner at Shoots when we saw the line for Tucano's--I should have known trying two new things in one day was too much....

Here are some pictures from our adventure!





We've done a few other fun things of note as well!

Home made pizza on our pizza stone....




Puppy chow/Muddy buddies (whichever you prefer to call them)...


And finally, we decided to try out our bullet blender and make chocolate mousse--we saw it on an infomercial...dubbed in spanish....but it looked tasty! although i thought it needed some sugar added to it...





And FINALLY, Heath and I had our 6 month anniversary on the 15th! Time sure does fly!
