Night ride trip report.

Burrr!

That is the only word I can think of after last nights ride. We took a rather quick spin around town, headed up 2nd south until 6th east, we then took 6th east to Liberty Park and found our way down to 3rd east... 3rd has a great bike lane and little traffic; we find ourselves riding down 3rd on just about every ride we take.

Once back into downtown we made our way to the Gallivan Center and enjoyed the millions of little lights strung up. The Center is an interesting little park / venue. In the summer months SLC hosts a free concert every Thursday night. We have seen some great bands there including Calexico, Camper Van Beethoven (aka Cracker) and half a dozen other concerts. They also have a free movie showing every Monday night.

Here is a short video I made on Heathers camera:



As you can see, Heather is dressed for the cold... ;)

For our after ride drink, I had a Nicaraguan beer and Heather had a glass of red wine. Not a bad night at all!

A new direction for the blog...

With the wedding and honeymoon now out of the way, we have decided to take this blog a new direction. I think the title says it all "Joe & Heathers Adventure Blog"!

Any time we go on an Adventure, be it a small hike in Mill Creek canyon, or a week out of the country, we will blog about it.

Tonight we are going on a midnight fixie ride around Salt Lake City. We expect to be dealing with low-20 temperatures and wind chills in the single digits. Full ride report coming Monday morning.

An Amazing Wedding!

We have so many to thank for the beauty and success we experienced on October 20, 2007. Here it is, almost a month later and I still find myself getting all excited and giddy thinking about the memories. There are several pictures that were taken of the event. You can find some here:

Thanks to all of our friends and family who came to share the day with us. We have not yet received all of the video footage, but we do have a video that Joe and I put together from my Mom's video camera. Feel free to download it and watch it here:

There are so many people that we wished could be there, but because of the location it was physically impossible. It was very difficult making the guest list decisions and we wished everyone could have been invited. Please know that we love you all and we're grateful for your love and support.

A few other things: Our wonderful friend Brian, lost his glasses in the cabin. If anyone has seen them or picked them up, please let us know! They are very rare and hold a lot of sentimental value. Someone also left a brown scarf up at the cabin. If this is your's, please let us know.

Pics! :)

Hello everyone! Thanks to you all who made it to our beautiful wedding and to everyone who helped make it such a wonderful success! :)

Thanks again! I am the luckiest woman in the world!

Open mic...

Just a quick heads up. We are going to have an open mic during the reception, if anyone has any experiences, thoughts or well wishes, feel free to share them. :)

What to Wear

I thought it might be a good idea to clarify a bit more on what you should wear to our wedding. Yes, it is going to be simple, but it is also going to be a fun, classy (we hope ;) ) event! We don't want anyone to wear anything too formal, but we would like to see people dressed in what my mom would call "Sunday best".

I hope this gives you a better idea on what you would like to wear! :)

10 Day Forecast!

It looks like the weather is going to be great for the wedding day! According to weather.com , there will be sunny skies with highs of 69 and lows of 47! We're still going to cross our fingers in hopes that it doesn't change.
