Whiplash

We have been back from Alaska for about a month and a half now and since the minute we set foot on Utah soil, up until not too long ago, life had been hectic, to say the least. We had quite a few first priorities, from the moment we got back and one was to find a house in Cedar Hills for rent. It took awhile to find exactly what we were looking for, but after some patience and persistence we found the right home, in the right spot, for the right price.

Between a move, Mike working 40+ hours a week, me in school full time and working at the hospital again every other weekend, kids in school, and a dog that seems to always be starved for attention, we have been swamped. Swamped=no time to do anything cool. ;( I definitely miss the days when Mike and I had such flexible schedules that we could take off whenever we wanted, do things like go camping any day of the week, ski three times a week…..well anyway we did find some time for a couple of cool activities this last week.

We went on a quick overnight camping trip, and got to enjoy the beauty of the fall leaves. It was good to get away for the night and be out in nature again, everything in the mountains is so colorful right now. Friday we had another great opportunity, and that was to do the human sling shot, at a friend of Mike’s who lives up Hobble Creek Canyon. I’m not sure I have the words to describe it; all I know is that when we got there and saw the contraption, my heart sank into my stomach. I had to go first, and as it turns out, it was such a rush and soooo much fun!
