Back Again!

As I mentioned earlier, I lost the charger to my camera battery (knew it was somewhere, couldn't find it) which kinda cramped my blogging style. I'd been wanting to get a new camera, so I figured Christmas was a good opportunity to ask for one. I am now a proud new owner of a new camera! I also found my charger for the battery to my old camera 3 days after Christmas (of course). I am way happy to have a nice camera and a beat up camera that I don't have to worry about as much. I had a lovely Christmas with a lot of fun time with my family. They are the best! I got lots of great things, but here is a picture of one of them. My Mom knitted us girls each a pair of gauntlets that we got in our stockings (Santa doesn't come to our house any more as we are all over 18). They are really warm and soft, and everything wonderful, including my favorite teal color. The buttons are really cute vintage metal ones, the teal is a really soft wool-something blend that can wash and is really warm, and the white is an even softer cashmere-something blend. I love them!

O Sweet Torture

I changed my calender today (a calender of John Singer Sargent paintings) to find the location of the December painting is the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. I'm afraid I let out a very audible sigh. I heart Paris.

Blustery Day

Well, we had 90+ mph winds last night/today here in SLC. Our house fared quite well, things blew over, but nothing other than a terra cotta pot broke. When I left at 7 to go to boot camp someone else's lawn chair had blown into our back yard (it was gone when I cam back, we think they came and got it). However when I went up the street I saw a bigger casualty. Too bad. At least a tree didn't fall on their house or anything. There were bigger damages/overturned semis due to the storm, but this was the worst I saw in our neighborhood.
