Fun Friday

It was nice to have a good day after a terrible week. They've been laying people off at the school I work at, one of which was the mother of the girl I work with. So there was a possibility that she might take her daughter out of school and put her in a school closer to home, which means I could be out of a job too. But her mom said that she was going to keep her in school, so I survived. But I'm a stressed out person anyway, so it was a bad week. So on Friday after school we went on a drive through the mountains to see the colors changing and check out the snow. We drove up to Brian Head and Cedar Breaks lookout. It was so pretty! and there was sooo much snow already up there. We even saw a doe and 2 baby deer walking across the street, but they ran off when we got close, obviously. We also tried to find Aspen Lake, you can see it from a lookout point off the highway but we've never been able to get there after repeated tries. So we tried again and failed again after driving down a pretty much one-way dirt road for 20 min and then turning around. But it was still a really pretty drive, and we went to Costa Vida for dinner afterwards. We haven't been in sooo long and we realized why when we paid but it was so delicious! It was so relaxing after a long depressing week. The nice thing is that I have the week off work this week, time to relax a little more.


The little yellow tree on the bottom right in the picture above looked liked it was glowing! I couldn't get a good close-up, but it was crazy looking!


Some foreign guy took our picture at Cedar Breaks, I felt dumb giving him our little digital camera, when he had his full-on huge camera and equipment. But I don't think he spoke very much English anyway!


I tried to take some pictures while in the car, I wasn't fast enough, but this one looked cool.
