So!

I survived. I am now a resident of beautiful Utah. No, I'm not being sarcastic. I live at the base of a freaking mountain, looking over the valley. It's amazing, and cold. Really cold. I've never lived in snow before. I thought that all that stuff about being able to see individual snowflakes and crap was all hooey. Guess what? It's not. Yup, freaked out about that.

Other than that, I can't feel my toes. I don't think I'll feel them again until oh, say, Midsummer? I'm a wuss, I know. XD

So now I live with my sister and brother-in-law. They're freaking AWEsome. Seriously, my first weekend here, they took me to Moab, a national park, and one of the top mountain biking and jeep safari destinations in the world. We went sport climbing during the day, and boulder climbing at night.
I don't think anything will every beat the feeling of climbing the base of the red rock cliffs in the middle of the night, with two Coleman lanterns and the stars letting you see where you're putting your hands.

Since I've been here, I've been dragged to the gym at six am every morning, learned to longboard, learned to FALL OFF a longboard, gone cliff climbing, refinished kitchen cupboards, learned to play ping-pong/table tennis, and made dinner while my sister went paragliding. If I'm not dead by the end of next month, I'll be in a body cast by the end of the year.

Oh yeah, and my desk exploded.

Really. No joke. I'll upload pictures when I can. My desk had a glass top, raised about an inch off of the wooden top, and the glass EXPLODED. No idea how.
The weirdest part? My fish survived. That's right, my little Fluffy (yes, Fluffy) was in his bowl, minding his own business when the glass top broke. I found him chilling, sitting in a pile of the glass in his bowl, on the wooden top. How, did his bowl not break? A mystery. Or he's possessed. Yeah, I like that explanation.

Chilm, thanks for the love! Mickey, chill! I love ya girl, I'll message you when I can. It's been crazy, to say the least. Mental hugs to you both!

I've gotta go eat. Lins (the sister) made a ham and rice dinner. Oh man, she can seriously cook!

Love and hugs to all!
