HARD AT WORK...wink wink

This lovely car is called a Karmen Ghia (Cody, did I get the spelling right?) Anyway, this was Cody's car that he drove during high school until he crashed it down a slippery and icy slope. Everyone thought that the Karmen Ghia was done for...so sad. Well Cody, being the stubborn (but cute) guy that he is decided to not trash it. He promised to get the car back in working order and make it as good as new. Well, NOW is the time that he is making his promise come true. I know it doesn't look like much yet, but Cody has been hard at work making this sweet ride even sweeter. I can't wait to see it complete and I'm sure Cody is looking forward to that day much more than I am. He only has a few more things to finish up on it and then we'll get it painted!!

As for me, I have been busy "working". I love my new job! Being a Pilates teacher is so rewarding for many reasons...
1) I don't have to work as many hours...yay!
2) I can see my students progressing and feeling better about their bodies
3) I have helped people get rid of back/joint pain
4) I don't have to work as many hours....oh whoops I already said that

I'm now teaching at the Treehouse gym and up at the University of Utah. The university recently started a Pilates program with all brand new equipment! It seriously is like a playground to me. The room I teach in has 8 reformers, 8 wunda chairs, 8 towers....easily about $60,000 worth of equipment. That probably doesn't mean anything to anyone, but it sure makes me happy.

Aaah...so many tags!

Well, a couple of my friends have tagged me. As I'm sure everyone is so interested in what I have to say...this just can't wait another second! Okay, maybe it can, but I'll do it anyway...I love reading everyone else's tags so maybe someone might be interested in mine. It's late, so I'll start with Katie's tag because it requires the least thinking.

Beautiful Fall...

I absolutely love this time of year. Unfortunately it also means that winter is probably about two weeks away...so I'm taking it all in while the weather is just perfect. On Saturday night, Cody went to priesthood meeting with his dad so I decided to head up to Logan. I had just worked all day and needed some good R & R. I was exhausted. When I got to my parents house, it had just finished raining, and I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. There is something about a fall rain...it intensifies the reds and yellows of the trees even more. Even though I was super tired, I had to go out for a jog. I took Kusaba and Buddy (my parents dog) and after they got done pooping about five times I began to really enjoy the views and the cool, crisp air. When we moved away from Logan, I didn't think I would miss it as much as I have. Cache Valley is amazing...now that I am away, it's my little oasis of comfort when I return. I'm pretty sure Cody would say the same thing considering the fact that he tells me everyday that he wants to move back! One day we'll make it back there...and hopefully its sooner and not later!


I didn't take these pics on my jog, but was looking through my old pics of Ltown and found these!
