Wedding Bells are Ringing


Yes, it is true, he did ask me on bended knee (well, sort of) and I did say Yes! (absolutely!) We are both quite excited about it and have decided to have a big celebration and exchange our vows in the Great Outdoors. We love to be outdoors no matter what the weather and we have chosen late winter, March 7 for our date. As though the whirlwind of our love is not enough, Konrad who craves more dramatic weather is hoping to be married in a gale! The setting we have chosen is very beautiful, a bit of a wild feel but conveniently located behind my friend's home. This means we will have the convenience of electricity,a kitchen, bathrooms and a warm spot for those of a weaker constitution.
I will keep this post up to date with information about the wedding/party!

Wedding Plans
Party starts at 4:00 pm. Exchange of vows (i.e. the wedding part!) at 4:30 pm.
Great food and music(live band) and fun with friends to follow. Dress is casual and weather appropriate. This will be mostly outdoors with deck heaters but plenty of room inside around the fireplace, also. Warning: there is a fast flowing stream throughout the property so children under the age of about 5 may not be appropriate.

Directions: The actual address is 3601 East Heughs Canyon Circle, Salt Lake City
You can get here coming from either direction on I-215 on the I-215 belt route. Basically just follow the signs toward the Ski Resorts and the road to the house is off of Wasatch Boulevard which runs alongside the mountains between about 3900 south and 6200 South.

Take I215 to 6200 South. Get off the exit and head east toward the mountain. The road will wind up and begin heading south. You will see on a sign that says Wasatch - Park and Ride - Ski Bus. Turn left at the light onto Wasatch Blvd. Go north about 1/2 mile to Canyon Cove Drive (plaque on the wall entrance that says Canyon Cove). Turn right. Go up the street to the 3rd street on the left, Heughs Canyon Circle. House is at the top of the hill.

We will have some sort of shuttle or valet system set up so watch for signs as there is a bit of an uphill climb depending how far away you have to park. Call ahead if you have special needs.
Numbers to call the day of the party: 435-770-5324 or 801-718-2273.

No gifts, please, as our combined household is overflowing. We have so much of my stuff in our basement that Kon says there is no way we could possibly need anything.

We will accept acts of service or talent to help with the party. Call or email our Wedding Planner i.e. Cheryl!!

Christmas 2008

We had a lovely holiday season. Very relaxed and low key. We had the girls starting on Christmas day so we flew in the afternoon to Calgary. We celebrated with Andy the weekend before going to a wonderful concert in Park City, Natalie Mcmaster, who plays amazing fiddle from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. He then headed to Ohio to be with his Dad and and all of our Ohio family. As Ben lives there now, I didn't get to see him but I knew he was surrounded by family so it was ok. Alberta was lovely but frigid. Konrad's brother has 5 little girls including brand new twins so Hannah and Zoe were quite happy and entertained for the whole week.Konrad and I also thoroughly enjoyed all the little ones. It was a delicious chaos. Konrad took Hannah skiing one day and she was quite proud of herself, skiing blue and black diamond runs. Konrad's parent live out of Calgary on a bit of acreage and it was so nice to be in the country for me. They have well-visited bird feeders like my Dad does in Ohio and I enjoyed getting to know some new birds. Also saw moose and deer and heard the coyotes every night. I have no idea what I did for over a week but just relaxed and it was great!! Click on the album and it will take you to another site where you can view it larger.
