Miriam&Matt Wedding

Miriam grew up in the same stake in seattle as my family. After moving away for college we would see each other every few years at something random in utah. Fast forward to October she moved here from Seattle into my house. Although she was engaged to Matt, I didn't see her much but I loved living with her. She is hilarious.

I helped her turn her Koren-caketopper-man into a white man... her man, Matt. He loves hat's.

Mighty fine couple they make.

Here are two signs I painted for their reception. 

Courtney accompanied me. Photo booth love. 

It was the best seeing her show her parents what to do in the photobooth!

 And this girl rules.

Sun Valley Ski Weekend 12.18.11

Mexican food hit the spot when we rolled in friday night.

Evidence of the low snow levels from my run.

Being a beginner skier, I hung out on this ridge all day... fitting it was called 'seattle ridge'.

Wrestling in skis was funnier to watch then experience.

Pizza + white elephant gifts.

 

Driving home. Sammy's seat didn't scoot back at all. They thought that was the funniest thing. Too bad you can't see my shins jammed into the front dash.

Hooray! UW beat U of Utah saturday. It was fun to see my dawgs play even though the game wasn't that great. Jane and I went a long with a few friends. There is just something so fun about being a fan in the opponents arena.

So much of this happend while Christmas-ing in Seattle.

Nepal_Kathmandu development work

In Kathmandu we visited a couple factories where the artisens make our product by hand. I loved working with them and they are very talented and skilled. So much work goes into each step.

This little girl was way too cute. We were corrupting her with ipad games. 

Kathmandu_street shopping

One night after work we headed to the main touristy shopping area in Kathmandu. My co-worker wanted to get some knockoff coats. They sell all the top mountaineering brands. It was crazy and quite the experience walking around. So many shops sell the same thing and they all are related somehow. If they don't have the color/size you want then their cousin does and they walk you down the street to the another shop. 

happy thanksgiving

On our way to eat with our cousins at Joel and Laurie's!
