Winter Happenings

Well,this blog thing is working out about as much as the journal thing! But it's ok. Anthony and I have been doing a lot of stuff this winter and I am sad to see it leave, but so excited for summer. Spring is just a plain ol' tease. Anthony and I have done a lot more during this winter than we did last summer. Partly due to the fact that Anthony worked like 80 hours a week last summer and I never saw him!

But so far this is what we have been doing:



We went snowboarding at Sundance last week and it was way fun. So warm that we could wear a sweater. Piece of cake!





We went to Zion's and it was so fun. We hiked Angel's Landing, but it was too icy to get past the part where you have to hang on the chains. But it was still way fun. We went with Griff, Nate, & Natalie. I definitely need to get into better shape before attempting it again! UGH.... Somebody be my workout partner. For Real... Please?



We go snowshoe-ing a lot too. It is really fun when there is full moon and the moon can light your path for you. We don't even take headlamps... Just 'follow the light.'


We have so many traditions from our first 2 years of dating that have just carried over. Such as:







We go to Burger's Supreme every November 20 for our "dating anniversary." Even though I hate greasy burgers...BLECH.. But he said he was testing me to see if I was a picky girl. (Little did he know I was just a good dater... The pickiness doesn't come out until after marriage haha.) And since I love the twilight books, it has become part of our anniversary since the last 2 have come out on the dating anniversary day. Good thing the next one is coming out this summer. I wonder what will take it's place on our November anniversary.




We make Gingerbread houses on December 7th. We made our first one when dating and it lasted almost 4 months! Anything can last in a guy's apartment if they don't clean! Which they don't.


We also watched the entire Lost t.v. show and still continue it. I just do it for Anthony though. I skipped season 4 and I am so lost! (ironically.) But he watches Brother's & Sister for me so we are equal.


Off the tradition subject I am now turning into movie critic mode:





I hated the new Alice in Wonderland. I felt that Johnny Depp sucked! It was like he couldn't decide between Willy Wonka and Jack Sparro. It was extremely annoying and it was very boring. Maybe it was because I was told it was going to resemble Lewis Caroll's short story Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking glass. I read it in my British Literature class and I loved it so much so I was a little disappointed because it wasn't like it at all. I guess that one should be blamed on my friend. (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!) I guess I have to say at least one good thing about it: The colors were awesome and the 3D was worth it. I am just glad I saw a matinee so I didn't waste as much money on it.

Can somebody tell me their opinions on Where the Wild Things Are? I want to see it, but everyone says it's a disappointment! Let me know! So I can at least go into it with the right mindset.

  1. Hey Marche, that was fun to see all your traditions! I thought the same thing about "Alice In Wonderland" that you did; weird, slow, but loved the animation and costumes. I did not like "Where the Wild Things Are" at ALL. I couldn't wait until it was over. All in our group felt the same way.
