Adventure to Vegas

So... I went to Las Vegas last Saturday for a doctor appointment. It is about a 2 hour drive, and I was supposed to be there between 6:30am-8:30am. About 10-15 minutes past Mesquite I saw a St. George Express (airport shuttle service) van pulled to the side of the road, due to a flat tire. I knew most probably had flights they needed to catch to get wherever they needed to go for the holidays, so I thought I would pull over and ask if anyone thought they were going to miss their plane. Three people jumped in my car and we headed to Vegas.

30 minutes later... my car got a flat tire! Now I felt sort of stupid for offering them a ride... but they got out and we went right to work changing the flat to the spare tire. We got back in the car, and in a few minutes the St. George Express van passed us (we were going 45 mph..). Luckily, the van pulled over and the travelers in my car got right back on the van.

Overall, I was grateful they were there to help me change a flat tire! I could have done it (I hope) probably, but those people ended up being more of a blessing to me than I was for them!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

Snow here in St. George!!??? This reminds me of my wedding day... only even MORE snow! They even canceled school (1st time in 10 years) because how much there is out there. But honestly, there isn't that much. 3 maybe 4 inches the last few days. But out where Terrel & Janet live (Kayenta) there is a LOT more snow. Maybe we'll have a white Christmas!

Mom & Dad Visit Beginning of December

My parents came down to St. George a little bit ago for a quick visit. We went to Zion Nat'l Park, Tuacahn's Live Nativity, and did some shopping. It was fun and I'm glad they made the 8 hour trip. :)

Here are some pictures of Zion
(we hiked Angel's Landing)

Here's a picture of Jesse & me (not the best...)

Jesse likes to get dangerous pictures... Once we were on the top he wanted to get a picture of the sheer cliff (I mean sheer). So... this is looking almost 1500 feet STRAIGHT down.

Here are some of the wonderful paved switchbacks.

Here we are waiting for the Nativity show to start.
(It was freezing... even for St. George!)

Here are my mom & dad

Thanks Mom & Dad for visiting! Come more often!! :) :)

Clouds on the Mountains

Jesse & I did get a few pictures in on Thanksgiving Day... but before we even arrived for dinner. It had rained a lot (for St. George) and there were some clouds formed right next to the mountain. I thought it looked pretty, so I had Jesse take a picture while I was driving.

What do we have in common?

Julianne Moore... Brendan Fraser... Ozzy Osbourne... Mindy...

We share the same birthday of course! (Today!) I heard it on the radio on my way to work this morning... and I thought I would share. :)
And yes... that is an old picture of me... maybe 3 years old.

My Sister is Engaged!

Congratulations, Rachel & Darrin! Rachel called me last night to tell me they were engaged! That's so exciting! I'm happy for you, Rachel. :)
