room(s) with a view

Well, first of all, my eyes are crossing backward into my brain, I’m pretty sure. I have spent so much time glued to this computer that I think Jamie might start thinking me and Mr. Mac are having an affair. I’m slowly but surely trying to navigate my way around all this social networking mess. I’m now on Twitter (yikes!) and while I’m learning just how powerful of a marketing tool it can be, that doesn’t make it any less overwhelming. Thankfully a bunch of smart computer people have developed all these sweet apps for the technologically impaired like myself, enabling us to easily sync and manage all these websites and tools. Whew! 

One good thing about having the time off that I’ve had is that I’ve been able to get so much done with my website and just working on my computer skills in general. (Did you notice the little mini-makeover this site’s gotten? Professionalism 101, Internet. I’m figuring it out. Yesss.) Still working on the icky details like my business plan, contracts, pricing, etc., but I feel a huge weight lifted just by making this much progress. 

Okay, my new comforter and curtains have still not arrived from Urban Outfitters, so still I cannot indulge you with apartment pics, BUT I can’t resist sharing a bit of the view we have from our back balcony. Because seriously, it needs no accessorizing. 

Aw, look at our lil marigolds! I’ve never had much of a green thumb, but we couldn’t resist a trip to Home Depot to get a few plants to brighten up the balcony. So cheerful!

 

 

Oh, hi there Mormon Temple. As in, THE Mormon Temple. That we can see from our balcony. Beautiful!

 

Love me some late evening light.

 

Yep. My husband’s pretty hot. He had a brief stint at Abercrombie and Fitch. Can’t you tell? :)

 

 

Sunsets here are unreal. The days can get really hot, but with the lack of humidity, it disappears around 4:00 or 5:00 pm, usually around the time a late afternoon rain or thunderstorm rolls in. After that, the weather is PERFECT. Crisp, cool, breezy… and these crazy gorgeous sunsets.

 

Ohhhh yeahhhh….

 

And everything about this reminds me why I’m the luckiest girl in the whole wide world.

 

So far, we’re still loving Utah. We’re a couple of blocks from the center of downtown, and a couple of blocks in the other direction from this amazing park/trail/off-leash dog area. This is why Salt Lake City is like no other.
