Update

Sorry for taking so long to bring this blog up to date. The last three weeks have been filled with going to English classes, (four days a week), and making wedding arrangements. It looks like everything is ready to go and we are looking forward to what I'm sure will be a glorious day. We will post pictures of the event as soon as I can download them. Stay tuned.

Parting shots from Utah.

Our time in Utah was great! Uyen had a chance to meet my mother and all but one of my brothers and sisters.

This picture was taken at my sister Wendy and her husband John's home.
My beautiful Uyen standing next to my beautiful mother!

Springtime in the Rockies. This picture was taken in the Park City area.
Sometimes I forget just how majestic the mountains are in this area.

Let it snow !

Today, we traveled up into the mountains to experience some beautiful snow scenes. The snow came down rather hard at times and then the sun would come out at other times. The amount of snow that is still on the ground this time of year is very unusual. This is Uyen's first experience with snow and she loved it.

Always hamming it up for the camera.
Uyen contemplated climbing this pile of snow.
This is the parking lot at the Brighton Ski Resort. The skiing would be great but it's closed for lack of interest. Empty ski lifts can be seen in the background.



Welcome to one of the worlds finest ski resorts. Snowbird was open today and the ski conditions looked great! Being here brought back some wonderful memories for me. I spent many hours on this mountain years ago.

I am amazed at how much Uyen enjoy's seeing new places and things. This is one of my favorite shots that was taken at the base of the mountain. Spring growth is showing.
