CFM...
INJEN.....
these mean what?







All that just to make the dang thing breathe better???

Just a little catch up....

Well....with Ross's move over to Delta, we
have kind of neglected the blog....sorry to
those of you that still check it! Ross has
been commuting between Salt Lake City
and Atlanta, still currently in training
with Delta. Hopefully that wraps up soon
and he can get back flying around the
country! I have been splitting my time
between SkyWest and working at home.
Just thought I'd replace the old pics with
a few new (ish) ones of what we have been
up to!

Ross's last day at SkyWest.....

Thank you to the Watson's and Kisser for
coming to celebrate Ross's departure to
Atlanta with us!! Somehow we only ended
up with pictures of the cake.....


Signs of spring at our house.....

goodbye snow......slowly slowly, not nearly
soon enough.......


goodbye snow tires......a little early, We
have had a few scary rides to Salt Lake in
some pretty snowy conditions!

but it sure looks better.....

the never ending summer chore of yard
work begins, it is amazing what you find
under the snow...

and the truck finally shows itself after a
long cold winter and a trip to the shop
(to reset a sensor due to a LOW BATTERY....)
haha.....maybe we should drive it more.....
or not...... :)

I know I always say I'm going to be better
about blogging......so I say it again :) No
promises, but I'll try!!

Moving on.....CONGRATULATIONS ROSS!!!

Ok ok.....for those of you that saw my last blog, you guessed it......Ross is headed to Delta! The past 3 weeks have been some VERY long weeks as Ross studied and prepared for his Delta interview (which is not so much an interview as it is a test....on everything airplanes, as well as you). Last Sunday night we were lucky enough to get a few middle seats on the red-eye flight out to Atlanta, no sleep for us that night.....or any night thereafter for the Ross!

Why the lack of sleep.....call it nerves, or maybe the flu? Who knows.....I bailed out on Tuesday morning (sick) and headed back home. Ross convinced his body it was nerves and the interviewers that he was their guy. We are now waiting to hear that they feel he is healthy and sane (yes he had a physical and met with a psych too)......at which point we will find out when Ross will be headed to train in Atlanta. Stay tuned, first day of class we will find out if we get to stay in our little paradise of Park City or if Delta will be taking us on a journey elsewhere..........

Time for change.......

More news soon.....recovering from the flu :(

Here we go again......

Thank goodness I have my Ross help back.....I'm too short for the snowpile!







and it just keeps coming...expecting snow for the next 5 days!!
I know I know, cry me a (frozen) river...right?

A bit of help....thanks Mom!!

I was finally able to recruit some out of state help for the driveway. After a crazy, bordering on whiteknuckle drive home in the snow, my mom and I were greeted by a driveway full of snow! As the Audi scraped bottom all the way in to the garage, we decided something must be done about it....so on with the gloves and off with shovels we went......







Thanks again Mom!!

Who's next??? DAD??? hehe.....

Goodbye Christmas tree......

Honestly, the tree has been gone a while, just thought I'd share our latest adventure. Of course we couldn't put the tree on top of the Jeep, for fear of scratching it, and the precious Dodge couldn't come out of it's little cave (for fear it might get dirty...)!! So instead of retrieving the blue car from the airport, we decided that dragging the tree behind the Jeep was the best option. So a bit of twine later off to the tree graveyard we went, tree in tow....

yep.....MORE SNOW....

Sorry, no pictures of the deep awful driveway, we couldn't get to the garage without clearing it first.....so the back yard is all you get! Here are the pics of Ross working on his diving skills....I think about a 1.6 out of 10 on that one!!

shovel, chip, shovel, chip.....

Somewhat the story of our lives over the past few days! I know a lot of you think we are so fun, and do so much, but our lives are REALLY VERY REPETETIVE!! :) After chipping ice off the driveway for the last 2 1/2 hours, I thought I would share my work with you! You wanted blogs, I will give you blogs....they may be boring and repetetive, but that is what we are!! As some would say...SSDD (same "stuff" different day)!!














Any volunteers for the next storm?? It's coming, and I can't reach the top of the snow pile anymore.....

Fun times in the snow.....

A little late, but better than never :) Thanks for coming up to play and have a little pizza party with us. We just have so much fun every time the Watson Crew comes up to visit!!
