:: LIFE :: A Heavenly Weekend Gone By

I'm back from my trip to Heavenly, Lake Tahoe and I'm finally warm again!  It was such a quick trip that we didn't bother with renting gear and taking lessons for skiing or boarding, but we definitely got our fill of Heavenly.  The snow was beautiful and I even saw some fresh snow fall a couple times.  It was minimal, but it fit right in with my romantic notions about snowy vacations.  We checked out the casinos, walked around town, dined on yummy food, took a"Sight Seeing" gondola ride and even had the quintessential snowball fight, which of course Conor started.  It was a fabulous trip and I have my boyfriend to thank for such a nice and relaxing weekend to kick off my last week as a lady of leisure.  I'm hoping to make it back soon and actually strap on a snowboard, but until then I'll just remember the beautiful sights and good times...

:: LIFE :: A Very Happy Weekend!

Well, it's Friday!  I've been a little sidetracked this week and lagging on the posts, but for very good reason.  I mentioned earlier this week that I was up for two jobs, and I couldn't be happier to announce to you all that I got one!  That's right.  As of yesterday, the papers have been signed, sealed and delivered, and I am employed :).  I can just feel my body starting to fill out my big girl clothes already...

In addition to being very excited about my new job, I'm also excited that within a matter of hours Conor & I will be on our way to Lake Tahoe and, officially, my first trip to the snow... ever!  I know, I know -- I've been deprived.  But I'm so excited to see a real winter wonderland.  I've always pictured snowy locations as very romantic -- not necessarily in a "lovers getaway" kind of romantic, but rather in the kind of romantic that people like myself get caught up in, expecting hot cocoa by a fire every night in an old wooden lodge, and forming a perfectly spherical snowball to throw at friends while frolicking through the snow...  Yeah, I'm that cheeseball.  Nonetheless, I'm expecting a fabulous weekend of snow angels and celebratory lagers.  I'm hoping to have pictures when we return but historically I'm not the best when it comes to documenting moments like these.

Anyway, I hope you all have an equally as exciting weekend and I'll catch you on the flip side.
