It may be time to put on the snow tires!

I can't believe I've gone this long without a post! Here's a summary of our lives in the last month and a half:

After 6 weeks of unemployment, I was finally able to join my husband at our winter job at Deer Valley. I have a newer pair of telemark skis that are really giving me a workout, as if shoveling snow wasn't enough!

My landscape architecture license is STILL not here! It got lost in the mail 3 times! I do know that it's been approved (back in Sept), but I also know that someone out there may be illegally designing retention basins. It is a possibility! (please note the sarcasm)

Bevan's parents are out of town for a month and we agreed to watch their cat, Simba. The first day was filled with excitement, not knowing what the cat was going to do next! The food bowl, the litter box, self-grooming, etc. was all very new to us! We soon discovered that cats don't do much so we make it stay out in the greenhouse.

The highlight of the winter so far is the incredible amount of snow we've received in the past 3 days. For all of you down in the soggy valley, this will give you an idea of what we've been going through up here.

It's a good thing we don't need to go anywhere!

This is a yardstick!

Bevan was the biggest help. He has such a good, strong back!

We're making progress!

Simba wasn't much help, as you can see.
