{snow day}

as per gagon family tradition we spent President's Day in Bear Lake.

since the few skiffs of snow near the lake couldn't keep us entertained for long we headed up the canyon for skiing/snowboarding at Beaver Mountain.

first time i've been skiing this season (actually first time in two years) and it was great. of course mister jeff is a snowboarder and he was glad to hit the slopes for the first time since his mission.

we spent the rest of the weekend sick (me) and jumping on the ice on the lake (jeff)

but mostly relaxing and playing with the fam.

the boys only suffered from a few injuries, which i see as a miracle

and i am finally feeling better.

going back to work/school after a long weekend is rough.

i need summer

{or another vacation}

{dreaming}

as a reward for graduating college, and a much much needed break from the world, jeff and i have planned a week long siesta on a white sandy beach in mexico.

just over two months from now we will be on a plane headed for paradise and i can't help counting down the hours. 

see you soon sun.
