My NoVa friends will appreciate this one…

I can hardly believe it but we are moving to Boise this weekend. I am looking forward to a new chapter in my life but am sad to say goodbye to Salt Lake City, where we have lived for the past three years. We really loved it here and there is a lot that we are going to miss about it. We’ll just be a short 4.5 hour drive away so we will be back quite frequently, but it just wont be the same. Here are a few of our favorite things that we will truly miss…

- Powder snow, day after day, all winter long… this is going to be the hardest
- Wasatch Mountains… I’ll miss having the big mountains as a backdrop, escaping the heat for hikes in the summer and playing in the snow in the winter
- All of our friends and family here
- Sundance Film Festival and SLC’s indie film scene
- Free summer concerts downtown from some great bands that I would have paid to see but didn’t have to.
- SLC’s fabulous downtown library
- Our favorite and most frequented restaurants… Red Iguana, Chanon Thai, Blue Plate, Toasters, Moochies, etc.
- Walking my dogs at Liberty Park
- All of the great bakeries downtown (being able to get authentic German bread and pastries reminded me of my time in Germany)
- Weekend trips to Moab

I think this video is pretty sweet, so I thought I’d share it…

Devin and I recently took a brief weekend trip to Boise, ID. It’s a nice little city… very clean and condensed. Here are a few things we managed to do in our 2 day stay:

- dinner and drinks at a distillery
- drove around town for a tour
- lunch at a swanky thai restaurant
- walked a portion of the greenbelt trail along the boise river
- wandered downtown on foot
- discovered a cool record store
- toured the north end
- stopped for gellato at the Boise co-op
- al fresco dining at a nice restaurant
- saw a couple of bands and had a drink at a little bar/venue
- yummy breakfast crepes at the farmers market downtown
- drove up an incredibly windy road to bogus basin
- stopped to check out a massive heard of sheep
- stopped at a big snow/skate shop and a little skate shop
- stopped at a little skate park

The view from our hotel. Boise looks alot like Salt Lake minus the bigger mountains.

The Boise river was crystal clear and cold

There was still some snow up at Bogus Basin

All the little dots in the background are also sheep. Baaaaaaa!

I haven’t been blogging much lately because my life has been pretty crazy and stressful the past couple of months. I have lots of interesting stories to tell but I will refrain from doing so in public.

Instead I will just share this cute short film / music video for Man Man’s “rabbit habits” Starring Fred Armisen, Charlyne Yi, and Martin Starr.

I think there should be more spontaneous outbursts of choreographed song and dance in life…
