Caught in the Vortex

We've been hearing about much of the U.S. being caught in the Polar Vortex and while Utah isn't (currently) in the clutches of the freezing temperatures (for us, that was early December) I have been trapped in a crazy holiday/wedding vortex! All of our children were here for Christmas and I had a limited time with my eldest daughter to plan a wedding (which will actually take place in May) so forgive my month-long disappearance.

If you know our family, we celebrate the holidays with a vacation or some family event to make a memory rather than giving our children gifts (with the exception of a photo album I create with My Digital Studio showcasing our family events from the year before). This year we took a one day "Adventure" which included Indoor Skydiving and Snorkeling at the Heber City Homestead Crater. Here's my first attempt at Skydiving...and for the record, it was awesome, but I'm sticking with the indoor version!

In SU! news: The Occasions Catalog is here and there are some wonderful products to celebrate every occasion and Sale-a-Bration begins on January 28th and my calendar is filling quickly, so call to schedule your party ASAP!
