We headed to Chicago for our flight to Salt Lake City on Wednesday, January 30th. Of course our original flight was cancelled so we ended up on a much later flight thus arriving in SLC much later than was our plan.
Thursday we went skiing at Alta and had beautiful weather for almost half the day. Then it started snowing and got very difficult to see the ski slopes. I went back to the lodge and read my book (New Moon by Stephanie Meyer) and Ken and Carl made a few more runs on the ski slopes. Ken finally came in and Carl made a few more runs on a few more slopes before calling it quits. Even with the snow it was great to be in the mountains again.
Friday we got our hair done thanks to Christi and her willingness to put up with us. Then we went to President Hinckley's viewing at the Conference Center. We parked our car and took Trax into town. It only took us about 15 minutes to get downtown on Trax and we didn't have to pay for parking (or try to find parking). Then we ordered pizza for dinner and played games with the family.
Saturday Hillary Swensen was baptized by her dad and we all went to Chari and Brian's for a great lunch. We're so proud of your Hillary for your decision to be baptized. In the afternoon we went looking at houses with a realtor but didn't find anything we just had to have. I guess the time isn't right for moving back to Utah but we keep looking. One day we'll find the right place and it will be the right time. Later that night we went to the Chinese New Year celebration at Carl and Tracy's church. We had great food and wonderful entertainment.
We arrived back in Chicago on Tuesday, February 5th and the weather was fine. As we go closer to home (driving) it began snowing and the roads started getting very icy. We drove home at 40 mph for approximately 3 hours. What a long ride.
Today it is snowing and we are supposed to get about 10 inches of snow. The wind is blowing so hard that snow is drifting in huge piles on the driveway. What a welcome home. But Woody is very glad to have us back.
