This will have to be a catch up post. We bought a fixer-upper and have been spending time on that. Oh, I also started a new job as a Field Administrator at Skanska...so that has been occupying my time too.

A few weeks ago I just needed to get out of the apartment and somehow ended up at the Clinique counter at University Mall in Orem. My cute sister-in-law is super knowledgeable about skin care and the Clinique products. I was hoping she'd be there. First we just chatted but then I ended up in one of those high chairs and Marissa was "fixing" my face and giving me pointers...she told me things about my face in which I had no idea. She even bought me dinner on her break. It really brightened up my day.

Below is my new ritual for morning and night. I already notice a difference. These are samples...I'm pretty convinced I'll need to take the plunge and get the bigger bottles.

Marissa couldn't devote ALL her time to me so I snapped this from afar while she was saving someone else's face.

When the weather warmed up a week or so ago Justin and I took a Sunday drive up American Fork canyon to Tibble Fork.  He did a couple paintings up there in October 2007 (Utah Mountains and Tibble Fork). I guess it is pretty up there year round...but it is so colorful in the fall.

I made heart prints with my shoes in the dirty snow.

My parents were in town for over a week. My dad helped me coordinate some work on the house. Mom and I got to go to the Salt Lake temple with some of her cousins I had never met. We ate at the Lion House afterward. I'm glad my Aunt Jean took this picture because I don't feel like I have enough pictures of just my mom and me together.

Here is just a little hint of some of the progress made on the house. This is the upstairs bathroom...still not completely finished but fun to see the difference.

And...yes...that is a pink bathtub...and...yes...we're keeping it that way.
