Let's go for a hike.

Last week Nathan & I actually had the day off together.
I seriously think our bosses plan out our work schedules to be the opposite of the other. ;)

Anyways, we headed out to Heber for the afternoon to go hiking.
It was a beautiful day filled with sunshine & a bit of wind to keep us cool.
I remember going on a class field trip to the same nature trail back in middle school.
Last week was the first time I had hiked it since that time!

PS Sometimes I like to "pretend" I'm in shape and jog up hills really fast.
Bad, bad idea. ;)

I would like to point out that the miniature bananas were extremely hard to open.
I'm serious.
Go buy some & find out! ;)
Oh. and my favorite photo is the one of us together, where I have my head against his shoulder.

Happy Tuesday!
much love, friends.

a day in the dumps + a little sunshine.

yesterday afternoon my mom & i were out and about in town.
at one point we were talking about everyone getting sick.
& i say, "i haven't gotten sick at all lately."
(then i pretended to knock on wood because i had no real wood)

i'm sure you are all aware of where this is headed.
i obviously spoke too soon.
because just as fate would have it...
i woke up in the wee hours of the morning with an awful sore throat.

ugh.

this was how i looked for most of the day:

sore throat = no fun. : /

for a good hour i just felt completely drained.

i honestly could have slept for hours.

however, my mom thought it would be a good idea to go for a walk.

which i was all for ... especially considering the ridiculous 58* weather we were having.

i'm glad it wasn't freezing for the walk, but ...

i mean, really?

i hate dislike the weather very much sometimes. 

it is freezing one day & then i'm sweating the next.

i wish it would make up its mind.

sorry .. i'm complaining. : /

i really did enjoy the two miles. 

it was good for me!

anyhoo. 

afterwards, we headed up to the school to get the girls.

they finished up the last of their semester tests today.

officially on christmas break!

& they are oh-so-excited about that. :)

now i am enjoying the awesomeness that is 'the big bang theory'.

i love sheldon. 

i do wish that penny & leonard would get back together, though.

i am actually feeling much better than i did this morning.

i hope you had a great thursday. 

much love, colie
