The blog looks weird....I know. I'm in the middle of playing around with some things. Said things are frustrating. Meaning that I tend to take breaks from them. So if you see my blog and it looks strange to you give it a few days. I'm hoping it will look super cool...but I also have work and a myriad of other stuff I have to do. Cheers!

Jackson.

So this post is about a month late...oops. I came home from vacation and literally wanted nothing more than to be back on vacation. We had a blast!
Mark and I took off Monday morning for Driggs, Idaho where I had found us a great little condo to stay at. Roadtripping with the husband is fun. Especially when you're driving through little towns in Idaho and their population is under 200. The condo we stayed at is near Grand Targhee Ski resort, which is in Alta, WY. Our condo was literally a hundred feet away from the sign that said, "Welcome to Alta." We were basically hanging  out on the state line.

On Tuesday we went into Jackson Hole and went shopping at all the fun little places. And of course we took pictures at the Arches!
Wednesday we decided to go up Teton Canyon  and hike the Tabletop Mountain trail. It was seriously gorgeous up that trail. Lots of wildflower meadows and views of the mountains. There were also these funky caterpillar cocoon things all over the place. They looked more like spider webs to me.  Then we went to go find this bridge over a place called Bitch Creek. No joke. Well after driving around Tetonia and Ashton for the better part of an hour on dirt roads...we didn't find it. But it was still an adventure.

Thursday we were supposed to go on our river rafting trip....but Mark decided to get sick instead. The raft company was nice enough to move our trip to Friday instead, and we got to spend the whole day in the condo while Mark puked his guts out. Fun times.
I think Friday was by far my favorite day of the vacation. We woke up pretty early and headed to Teton Village where we rode the tram up to the summit of Jackson Hole Resort. We hiked around up there and had waffles and  hot cocoa (it was cold!). The views were amazing! Then we went and hung out a little more in Jackson Hole right before we took off on our raft trip down the snake river. (Pictures still pending...we haven't felt the need to drop $30 bucks on them yet).

All in all this was a pretty rocking vacation. June is the time to go, peak flow on the Snake River, and great deals on summer rentals.

When Weeks are Long

You know how when you're super excited for something to happen your week just gets SUPER long? Yeah dealing with that right now. On Monday Mark and I are off to an adventure in Jackson Hole. It will be a wonderful week off work and I won't mind getting away from the apartment that has no AC (Something we didn't realize when we moved in in January!).
Even my workouts at the gym seem long. Although that might have something to do with the fact that my calves have not yet recovered from moving Amy and Jake out of their apartment that was up three flights of stairs into a house. I still don't even want to look at stairs at this point. Mark keeps making fun of me because I'm walking like an old person. I'm crossing my fingers they get better soon because we have a fun day hike planned in the Tetons next week.
While we're in Jackson we're also going river rafting. Right now it's almost peak run off which means the water will be VERY cold. So hopefully my weather app on my iPhone is right about next Thursday being sunny and warm. Otherwise this will be kind of a cold adventure!
In other news work is back to almost normal. I'm back to being in my supervisor position after being tossed around departments for the last three months. This also means that bonuses are back (Hooray!). Mark is still doing his usual job approving credits which he loves because he has no schedule. I also love it because that means he can cook me lunch most days since I'm tied to my desk most of the day.
Here's to hoping this week starts moving faster so I can be on vacation sooner!
