So here is a quick update of the summer thus far. I recently hiked Rendezvous Peak, we celebrated 4th of July, and Jay's Aunt Margy and Uncle Will came to visit. Below are some pictures of my most recent activities. Me at the top of Rendezvous Peak - 7.5 miles and 4,100 vertical feet. This hike took me 2 hours and 25 minutes. It was incredible and so beautiful!View from the top! Last weekend was

I have attempted this post several times now, but I have struggled to find the appropriate and deserving words to describe the loss Jay has recently had. His Mom, Marsha passed away June 5th. I was fortunate enough to have met her once while she was visiting Jay in Jackson. She is one of the sweetest, friendliest, loving, kind, smart women I have ever met. I feel like I learned even more about

This past weekend I was honored to be part of one of my best friend's from college, Brooke, wedding. The wedding was beautiful and so much fun! I really enjoyed getting to see Brooke and many of my friends from college! I was also able to enjoy some well missed time with my family.

The beginning of our third road trip started after work and after packing when we hit the road around 9:30 PM. We drove until we couldn't see anymore and stopped around 3:30 AM to sleep. We pulled off the road somewhere in the middle of nowhere Nevada and slept in Lucy, my car. This is Jenny and I about to crash.The drive from Jackson to Lake Tahoe is roughly 12 hours so by getting an early start

First, I enjoyed a week with my parents and then my sisters came for a long weekend. Having my family here is so incredible that I wish they would never leave! This was my parent's third visit and my mom's fourth visit! I was thrilled to have them here again and we had a truly amazing time. We enjoyed a little skiing, snowmobiling, eating, eating, some more eating, and a little spa action too :)

Last Thursday evening my family's dog, Dot, passed away. She had not been feeling well for the past couple weeks and then suddenly on the night of March 5th, she became very ill. Mom and Dad took her to the emergency animal hospital and they discovered she had a cancerous tumor the size of a football in her abdomen. The tumor was bleeding out...and Dot was dying. They had to put her down. Dot was

So I was tagged by my friend Michele in this epidemic in the blogger world called a "meme". Once tagged, you are supposed to explain the 5th picture in your 5th folder in your pictures and then tag 5 people to do the same. It is pretty fun to see every ones pictures.

This past Monday, Jay, his friend Andy (visiting from Chicago), and I went skiing. It was another Bluebird Day in Jackson and a great opportunity to take the Tram up for stunning views of the valley. See below for a couple pictures :)Jay and I at the top of the Tram with a beautiful view of the valley below.

Megan and Jennifer came to visit right after Christmas and into the New Year! It was so fun having them back like old times...skiing, hanging out, dinners, and happy hour :) I miss having these girls around all the time...they are so much fun and always up for anything. They were mach 10 the entire time they were here...going and doing and going and doing as much as they could. Below are some

So after my last post you would think all of this snow is a good thing...well not so much. We have seen record snow fall in a very short amount of time. Over 5 feet in less than a week. All of this snow fell on a very weak base layer which is recipe for disaster. Since Saturday the 27th, we have had 2 in-bounds slides (this means 2 avalanches within our resort boundaries). This is extremely rare

Merry Christmas! I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and I hope all of your wishes come true this holiday season! For me here in Jackson, Christmas isn't quite the same as home but I am so fortunate and blessed to have the friends here who are like my family to make Christmas so wonderful. I miss home terribly this time of year and I miss all of the precious comforts home provides.The past

So, I am starting the beginning of my second winter here in Jackson. After an amazing summer, I am ready for tons and tons of skiing and apres' ski! Unfortunately, last winter I didn't get to experience the legendary Tram. In 2006 they decided after 40 years of service to deconstruct the Tram and replace it with a new and improved Tram. The old Tram carried 50 people per car (there are only 2

I have been contemplating what to post for this blog entry and I just don't think there are any words or pictures that can accurately describe our trip to Spain and how wonderfully fantastic and amazing it was! We flew in to Barcelona and stayed there for 3 days and toured around the city as much as we could and we also went on a wine tour to a local vineyard. We were lucky because it ended up

The past couple weeks I have been dying to go to a pumpkin patch and pick out a pumpkin and carve it...hay ride and all. The weather is finally just right for it (well except for the few bouts of snow we have had recently) but none-the-less, it is fall and time to go pumpkin hunting. Well, apparently it is too cold to grow pumpkins in this part of the world so we were unsuccessful in finding a

Well, Reese is safe and sound at Mom and Dad's...but me...not so good. I had to send Reese to live with Mom and Dad for a bit because my new place doesn't allow dogs. I am absolutely sick about not having her here. I wasn't really sure how things would be...but they are tough :( I didn't want to send her back at all but I didn't have a choice.

Mom and Dad came out in August to visit me and they stay on a ranch in the Gros Ventre's called The Gros Ventre River Ranch. This place was so beautiful and had incredible views. It was located right on the Gros Ventre River which was great for fly fishing. They rode horses all day long and were able to see some of the best views in Jackson Hole. Their patio looked right at The Grand Teton. I

Summer in Jackson has been absolutely wonderful...warm, sunny, and sooo much fun! It has been awhile since my last post, but not too much has happened. I am still working hard and playing even harder :) Living and loving life to the absolute fullest. Summer is starting to come to an end :( with shorter days and cooler temperatures. But we are all still trying to enjoy the warm days while we have

Mom came out at the beginning of June and spent a week with me in Jackson. I absolutely loved having her here and it meant the world to me that she was here when I needed her most! We were able to do a number of fun things even though the weather was not the best...it snowed while she was here...in June! We made the best of it and below are some of her pictures from her trip.

Yesterday, I had the great opportunity to go on a guided tour through the lower loop of Yellowstone National Park! Jay works for Snake River Lodge and was able to hook us up with a free trip. This was my first time visiting Yellowstone and it was amazing and beautiful. It was kind of chilly and there is still snow on the ground there but it was a great trip none-the-less! We saw bison, elk,

Jackson is fantastic and wonderful in many ways, but after a long winter, we are ready to leave the valley and go some place warm and sunny! So, Jenny and I decided to take a road trip to southern California. Our first destination was Carlsbad, CA (just north of San Diego) to beach camp for 2 nights and then we drove up the coast and chilled on the beach in Huntington Beach and then on to Ventura

Last weekend was probably the first weekend that is was actually really warm (about 50 degrees) and sunny outside! So, we took full advantage and went up in to the Grand Teton National Park for a bike ride. We rode about an hour in and then an hour back. This was my first real long bike ride on my new bike, and I absolutely loved it. The roads are closed but they are plowed so you can ride with

So, I think this was the best winter to come out to Jackson because it was by far the best winter I have ever had and not to mention we saw record breaking snow fall...605" (50.5 FEET)!!! It just did not quit snowing all winter...it even snowed on closing day! I skied about 45 days and loved every minute of it. Below is a link to an article written in Freeskier Magazine talking about our EPIC

The Elevator Shaft is a hike in bounds at the mountain that leads to the Head Wall, Crags, and Casper Bowl areas. It is called Elevator Shaft because it is literally straight up! The hike took roughly 40 minutes and it was so steep right at the top that I was literally on my hands and knees climbing up because standing was impossible. This hike was definitely challenging but also definitely

Gaper - A person who stops on the slopes to look at the views.This is the official definition but the extended definition is one who thinks they don't stand out but they do, one who is always in the way, one who wears one-piece ski suits with head bands usually of coordinating neon colors, one who still tries to use their rear-entry boots and skis from 1985, one who carries all of their lift

For many of the skiers in Jackson, hiking the Head Wall is no big deal but for me, it was. I have been wanting to do this hike all season but wasn't sure how I would do and I also needed a pack to strap my skis to. So, I got the pack and my friend Simpson and I decided to attack it together for the first time. This was a challenging hike but nothing like I thought it would be. I was preparing

WOW! Words really can't describe the time I had with Mom and Dad here! They came to Jackson for a week and we had a blast! They were able to stay in one of our cabins that we manage, so they were right in the village which was perfect. We did so many fun things like dog sledding, snowmobiling, dining at 10,000ft, eating, eating, and then some more eating...it was all FANTASTIC! They saw my house

So sorry for the delay in updating my blog. Chad and Rob came to visit us at the beginning of February and we had a BLAST! They were only here 5 days...but we had a fantastic 5 days skiing during the day and partying at night. We skiied 2 days and had some really good snow while they were here...WINDY but lots of snow. I think the mountain got blown down one of the days due to such high winds

Last week I was able to attend the Pedigree Sled Dog Tour on the town sqaure in Jackson. This event was a ton of fun! We walked to the square to watch the start of the race which was pretty cool...they started one at a time and only went 2 miles but it was still very fun to watch. This was the beginning of many stops for the Pedigree Sled Dog Tour...sort of like a kick off ceremony. Anyway...here

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go on a guided snowshoeing tour for FREE thanks to Megan and Justin! A guided tour is different because the guide has an immense amount of knowledge about the area, the geography, and nature. Cathy, our guide was great and showed us a fantastic time. The day was really really cold...about 5 degrees...its hard to notice sometimes though while hiking and working

So I had my first snowshoeing experience on this past Wednesday. It was so much fun and a fantastic workout! Tori and I went up into the Grand Teton National Park. We were not really sure where exactly we wanted to go so we started at Granite Canyon trail head and ended up trail blazing our own trail which was a lot of fun and made us feel very adventurous! We finished our day with some snow

Here are my pics from the other day when I went to the top of the mountain to check out Corbet's Couloir. It was a blue sky day which is very rare this time of year so the views were amazing! Enjoy the pictures :)View of the Grand from the top of the mountain Me at the top!Jesse at the top!Looking down into Corbet's...crazy people ski this!

So these pictures were before I came home for Christmas but I haven't had a chance to post them...so here they are...enjoy :)This is our "Charlie Brown" Christmas Tree...Tori actually went into the woods and chopped it down. Thanks to our Mom's sending us decorations, we were able to load the tree down with some beautiful ornaments and lights!I got to put the star on! P.S. I had just finished

I headed out December 19th...destination Atlanta, GA...HOME! Only my Dad knew I was coming home so I was able to surprise my Mom and sisters which was so fun! If I had only had a video camera to film Mom's reaction to me standing in the kitchen as she came around the corner brushing her teeth, we would have won America's Funniest Home Videos. My trip was short but I had the pleasure of seeing my

A few days ago Jenny was up on the mountain skiing...finally feeling comfortable and confident when she took a bad fall and injured her knee. It wasn't just a strained knee or anything simple...it was really bad...she couldn't even walk. For most, this may not be a big deal, but for Jenny it was devastating. She knew how bad it was and knew it wasn't going to be an easy recovery. She ended up

Thanksgiving continues...we were truly blessed to have been able to celebrate Thanksgiving all week. We celebrated Monday and then twice on Thursday...it was perfect! On Thursday we had originally planned to go skiing but Targhee wasn't really ready for skiing yet so we decided not to go. Instead we started the day at Robbie's around 1:00. His parents were in town so we got to meet them and they

So this was my first Thanksgiving away from home...it was tough but we really did a great job of putting everything together and making it feel like home. The meal was fantastic and the company was even better :) We decided to have an early Thanksgiving because a few people were going home for the holiday. We put our menu together on Sunday and had dinner on Monday...it went off without a hitch!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to put up some new pictures from the past week of my time in Jackson. I have been meeting so many new people and doing so many new things...I love it! It snowed a little but the snow in town is melted away but in the mountains there is tons of snow. They are expecting a lot of snow this weekend so we will see!!!Megan, Jenny, Me, and Tori hanging out at Dave's. Getting

This is one of my favorite views at the Grand Canyon! Jenny was having some camera problems so this very very nice guy, Jim, offered to take a picture for me and email it to me. Oh, by the way, he took this picture with one of those mack daddy, super nice, huge lens cameras. I absolutely love this picture!!!I am down there on the rock looking out into the Grand CanyonSo, I have now been here 5

So we arrived last night into Jackson Hole...WOW, I can't believe I am actually here! We traveled 6 days and 3,000 miles...I visited and saw things I have never seen before! I did things I have never done before or ever imagined I could or would do! It is just fantastic and I could go on and on for hours about everything we did, but instead I am going to try and break it down for you day by day

It started as a road trip out west and ended up as a one way trip with no returning flight. 6 months ago I would have never guessed where I would be right now...moving to Jackson Hole, WY for a year! Crazy...I am beyond excited, nervous, sad, happy, a mixture of emotions...but most of all excited! I am looking forward to what lies ahead for me in this new chapter of my life and the many
