Happy 30th to Me!
I don't mind turning 30 at all, especially when I think back all that's happened this past decade. A blessed marriage and home, amazing friendships I've gained, seeing the world, an awesome career, and so much more. I can't wait to see what the next ten years brings to my world.
For the big celebration, I decided we'd start out at PizzalChik for dinner and drinks. The owners were thrilled that we brought such a big group of 20+ people, to which they doted on the entire time. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather, live band and always delicious food. Key lime cheesecake with a candle accompanied a fun Bob Marley style birthday song. Afterwards we moved the party down to our place, which lasted early into the morning. After all the preparations Phil and I worked so hard on, the house looked amazing and a good time was had by all. Can't wait to do it again.
And of course we must mention as well, the world didn't end! Ha! Although I started to think it was going to when the cleaning company I had scheduled with never showed up or called (beware of Bubbling Express Cleaning), which essentially left me on my hands and knees scrubbing floors unexpectedly before go-time. But oh well, all the work was done in time and nothing ruined my day, it was absolutely PERFECT!

CJ Strike
First camping trip of the year, went to Strike for the weekend with Tim and Di. It was an extremely windy weekend. The day before we arrived, three guys had capsized their boat and were rescued after 40 minutes in the water - lifeflighted out. The guys went out once, but us girls decided it was nice to look at from ashore.

Full on waves out there, nevermind that thought...

Spring Scenes
4/10/11 Phil and I were at Lucky Peak to test a client's boat and do a little fishing. Thanks to the amazing snowpack this year, we're seeing an awesome water release below the dam.
The spring moment I always look forward to, Tim and Di's pear trees in bloom. I can't help but pick one or two and place them in my hair.

Our first Yurt Experience
Banner Ridge Yurt
Well if spring is taking its sweet time getting here, we might as well go find some powder to play in! There was plenty of that north of Idaho City this past weekend. We joined the Stenquist crew for some fun at Banner Ridge Yurt for a three day trip.
The hike in was over two miles with about 750 feet climb in elevation. I yelled out a big WOOHOO once I saw the yurt, I was so relieved!
We had a great time hanging inside eating delicious food, playing cards and listening to good tunes. Outside we enjoyed the awesome fire pit the guys dug out for us, as well as sledding and of course, a TON of snowshoeing.
The 2.5 to 3 mile hike in via snowshoes. Complete with 20-50 lbs. packs per person and one sled full of delicious home brew and other goodies.
A very cold, but very cute outhouse
Love what Phil wrote on facebook,
and still amazed I was able to lure him away from the snowmobiles for once! :)
