What I Do

A lot of you are wondering what exactly that I do for work. You may know that I worked for the cheese plant where I became the master cheese maker. I made artisianal goat cheese and I ran a tight plant I will tell you. I then changed jobs where I was the accounting manager for a ski company.

Well, I now work for a good friend. He has a lot of really cool contacts in the Jewelry business and we sell watches and rings. We don't sale just any watch or ring, but the latest in metal development. If any of you are wearing a gold or stearling silver ring or watch you probably notice that it is scratched or you need to take it to get replated. Well, we sale tungsten carbide watches and Black Diamond Ceramic watches and rings. If you have heard anything about tungsten carbide you know that it is one of the hardest materials out there second only to diamonds. This means that the metal is virtualy scratch proof. I just received a watch to repair that was purchased in 2005. A pin had come out and it needed to be replaced. Well the clasp of the watch was a sterling silver and the links were tungsten carbide. It was amazing to see the difference between the two. The links looked brand new, but you could tell that the watch was well worn and loved by the little scratches in the clasp. Here is one of my favorite tungsten carbide watches that we sale. You may notice that yes we don't use glass or plastic for the face of our watch. Yes this is a saphire crystal and it is almost as hard as the tungsten. This model is sporting what we call a tri cut crystal. Very nice huh?

If tungsten carbide has one flaw it is that the metal is a little heavy. That is where our Black Diamond Ceramic comes into play. Black Diamond Ceramic is just as hard as tungsten carbide, but it is half the weight. So what that means to me and you is that if you like a lighter feel on the wrist then this is the watch for you. This stuff is amazing! Hey with Valentines, graduation, summer weddings... around the corner now is the perfect time to buy. Give the one that you love a piece of jewelry that they will keep and love forever. Here is the watch that I am currently wearing. I absolutly love it!

The Holiday's

I hope you all had a great break! Sorry, we have fallen off the radar for awhile now. Things have started up again for us, Sam is back in school (hooray!!), and I am working.

Christmas was great,here is a picture of our ski trip. It was my first time, and I loved it! I did fall and hurt my knee though, still limping which is very annoying. Here are a couple pics.



Kelli snowboarding.



The camera got too cold to take any more pictures, but I was skiing...honest!


We also spent time with Sam's family, where a mini Santa came to visit!



Isn't he the absolute cutest Santa/nephew!!



We also went for a wonderful hike with Sam's mom and Erin.

We spent the break having a great time, enjoying the outdoors, eating good food, an spending time with family. We are looking forward to the next year, wish you all the best, and here's to the new year!!

4-Wheelin'

We spent the day 4-wheeling at Cedar Mountain (past Eagle Mountain) with Kelli and Adam. While I had been suspicious the day would turn out terribly cold, it is November ;), the day was amazingly warm!

This is Kelli and Adam. They were both crazy speed demons! I generally prefer to go at my own pace and enjoy the scenery... and Sam is patient enough to stick with me!



Down this mine is a truck. Kelli and I have been going here for years, the truck is much less visible now than it was 5 years ago. Lot's of rock dropping...





That was our fun weekend. My guess is it was the last warm one for awhile. Hope all of you had an enjoyable time, and Happy Thanksgiving!!

The Cheesecake Factory

We now have one in Utah! Sam and I ate there last weekend with my parents- the menu is a book and the food is delicious! If any of you have the chance to eat there, we would both highly recommend it (just plan on having a wait).

Halloween!!

Look! It's a bird! A plane! A paraglider? No it's... not Superman!?!

Its: Super-Tigger!!



Every Halloween of our married life (and probably some before), Sam has donned his Super-Tigger costume and headed off to work. I have to admit, it really makes me smile. He gets so excited and giddy to be the witty person who combines his two favorite characters: Tigger, and Superman!
