My last night

On my last night in Utah, I am a little sad. I'm sad to be leaving such a beautiful place and leaving my friends. Jenny is having her first baby in a few months, and because of several factors, I won't be able to be here to help out when the baby comes. That, and I'll have to wait until Utah thaws out to come back. The snow was pretty, but way too cold for me.

I had a really great time here in Utah. I've spent the last few days with one of my best friends, and I've made some new friends. Some notes on our adventures:

The reception Saturday was incredible. I met so many nice people. Some of whom I had heard (or read) about, and others that came to celebrate. It was cold, there was snow, but it was worth it. The food was delicious, the fire was warm, and the backdrop couldn't have been any better.

Sunday, a bunch of us went down to Little Wild Horse Canyon for a short hike. BEAUTIFUL! Unfortunately, my camera decided it was time to start acting up. Apparently, just being in close proximity to Dan and Jenny does that to cameras. So, I managed to get a few pictures, but they started getting fuzzy. I'll post a few when I get back home and can sort things out with the camera sprites.

After Little Wild Horse Canyon, Jenny and I drove down to Moab to stay the night and see Arches National Park on Monday. Too bad we both forgot that Columbus Day is Monday and a lot of people use this 3-day weekend for off-road sports. 10 hotels we checked were all full. We had dinner, and headed back home. Late night.

Monday we just sort of chilled. A busy weekend really wears out the pregnant folk. I was pretty tired myself from the hike and boulder climbing we did Sunday. We stayed close to home, watched a movie, took a nap, and went to a birthday party. All in all, it was a really good day.

I'm excited about coming back in the spring when all sorts of new life will be here. New babies, new flowers, new bugs!
