Wardrobe Cravings?


So, as I am sure you have heard from myself or from Mike, I am starting a wardrobe consulting business. I am currently quite small (I only have 5 clients), but I am very excited.

I have an ad coming out this month in Austin's Woman Magazine. I also had a shout out, although it was without the mention of my name, in an article in that same magazine last month. If you are interested, the article is here:http://www.austinwomanmagazine.com/Articles/2010/02_FEB/32_Worth.html I am the second personal shopper Carolyn mentions-- the educator.

Scream Central

We are back in Texas!!! The weather here is awful! Drizzly and cold. I hate this weather. Mike and I are getting back into the swing of things. As much as we love being on vacation, we do really love being at home. I will be uploading videos from our trip this week. We have some great ones! Here are two videos from our day of tubing with Lizzie.





Here is one of all three of us tubing. You get to hear my whiny voice begging Mike to hold on to me.

Game Creek




We headed to Game Creek Restaurant for our last night in Vail. We took the gondola up to mid-mountain, and then hopped in a snowcat to a lodge for dinner. It was amazing! It is a members only lodge, except for two hours at night. Mike, Lizzie, and I enjoyed a four course meal complete with a wonderful atmosphere. When we came out of the restaurant, it was snowing pretty hard. It was a great way to finish our trip!

Here we are in the snowcat after dinner.

I am enjoying the snow!

Toobin






My friend, Lizzie, came to visit us and keep me company while Mike is snowboarding. On Wednesday, we ate lunch, shopped, and then met up with Mike for drinks and dinner. Yesterday, we took the gondola up and went tubing. Lizzie and I were a bit scared at first, but had a blast!


This is the view up by the tubing spot. What a gorgeous sunset.





Beaver Creek




On Tuesday, Mike and I traveled to Beaver Creek. Mike snowboarded and I walked around town, took in the sights, and sat by a fire.


In the afternoon, Mike joined me by the fire.


It really was a gorgeous day.

Mountains are Blue


Mike and his friend Matt ventured up the mountain to a place called Blue Sky Basin. I was quite jealous that I could not venture up there with them. Only skiers/snowboarders are allowed up there. Since I am still recovering from my broken foot, I am not skiing this trip, and am not allowed up. :(

At this magical place, you can bring your own beer and grill your own meat. So, Matt filled up his backpack with some Coors Lights, chicken, and tortillas, and they made there way up there after a morning of snowboarding and skiing.




If you are a fan of Coors Light, then you know how important it is for the mountains to be blue. They were definitely blue up there.

In Hot Water


Today Mike and I took a trip down to Glenwood Springs to visit their natural hot springs. Despite the smell of sulfur (mmmmmmmm rotten eggs!) it was quite pleasant! They had two pools, one that was heated to 104 degrees and one that was 90 degrees. It was so nice to sit in the water and look at the mountains.



We were also lucky enough to have a gorgeous view on the way there.
