So another year down, an eternity to look forward to! We are up at Park City tonight and will be skiing tomorrow, just the two of us. We started off our anniversary celebration this morning with some anniversary climbing. We went to Ft Union top rope. I only had enough endurance for 6 routes cause my arms apparently hadn't recovered from yesterday's bouldering session. I couldn't do anything! Well, I was barely able to do a 10b at the end cause it was short. Back home for a quick clean up, visits for RS with Julie and Cindy, phone visit with Nicole, then Corey and I went to the Draper temple for sealings at 1. He was coming from Provo, so we met there, drove separately, but took a selfie when we were done.
Back home, Corey worked more on work stuff, I worked on my Living Christ binder. It's been fun, kinda like a study in religious art. It's coming along, and soon I'll start trying to actually memorize it, which is the point of why I'm making this anyway.
Around 3 I walked around the hood to deliver more invites for Mel. I was at the computer at 4, read that a 10-13 yo girl died in avalanche at Brighton. That's like if we went out skiing and lost Sophi or Natalie! So so so sad. Took Owen to trumpet at 4:30 while Corey got ski stuff gathered up, then I grabbed my things after I got back from trumpet, and we headed out for dinner and then a day of skiing tomorrow. We went to the Roof for dinner at 6:30.
It is open again after being closed since Covid. We were really looking forward to it, and it was good, but... we were a wee bit sad that it's not a buffet anymore. It's just a regular restaurant. He was worried he'd leave hungry, so he ordered an appetizer of Utah Scones, deep fried. I nibbled on one and tried to resist having more.
For dinner he got alfedo pasta and I had a salad. We're up at Park City now and are going to ski tomorrow, yay. Oh, on our way back to the car, I liked this art on the wall, by a Ukranian artist with the temple and other spiritual symbolism.
