Two Thousand Thirteen

NYE / New Years Day went down as follows:

Zach made a reservation at Newpark, our favorite Park City Hotel, for the night of New Years Eve.  So after I got off work and packed we made our way up to Park City as the snow fell.  We had dinner on Main Street, dessert at Coldstone, and a brief visit to a random supermarket to get some Martinelli’s.

The rest of the night we hunkered down in our room, watched some interesting TV specials, discussed our resolutions [see below], and toasted to the new year.

The next morning we checked out and drove to Park City Mountain Resort for some snowboarding.

We did a handful of runs and then spent the rest of the day in the park.  Zach was blessed with incredible balance.  His athletic ability is ridiculous.  This kid could do anything if he had a board to ride on.

Which makes my teeny tiny box rail look comical, but I’ll take it nonetheless.

Zach got a GoPro Camera for Christmas from yours truly, and was excited to test it out on the slopes and in the park.

 When the sun went down it was time to head home.  We packed up our gear and made a brief stop to the Tangar Outlets.  Yes, I wore my snow gear into J. Crew – it was worth getting 20% off my entire purchase, though.

Each year, Zach and I make some very personal resolutions.  Both singularly and together.  2012 was good to us.  We have been blessed beyond deserving.  In 2013 we plan to change it up a bit.  Some of our resolutions are too silly and personal to share, but some are pretty general:

Katie:

1.  Save, save, save.

2.  Travel somewhere we have never been [I realize this is hypocritical of number 1 – but something’s gotta give!]

3.  Cook more meals at home – this proves to be more and more difficult with my work schedule, but I intend to get better!

4.  Reach my fitness goals – this is general but does include my one, glorious chin-up previously discussed.

5.  Attend the temple more often – once a month is practical for Zach and I, and we’re going to do it!

Zach:

1.  Play hockey more often

2.  Bike more often – this might involve Zach purchasing “stretchy pants”, but only time will tell…

3.  Daily scripture study

4.  Reach specific milestones at work

In 2012 we have made some pretty amazing memories.  We have traveled, accomplished a lot of our goals together, ate at too many delicious restaurants, made some new friends, worked hard at our jobs, lost some loved ones, cried a little, and laughed a lot.  I am a little scared for 2013.  The unknown is frightening for me, but I know that fear can be a very motivating factor in my life and I intend to use it to my advantage.  Zach and I believe we can do anything if we have each other.

2013, let’s do this thang.
