Once we’d had a nap, cooked some lunch, and spent a few hours recovering from the 12 or so miles of hiking we did in the morning, we headed over to Goblin Valley to see some hoodoos. I’m not altogether sure what we expected, but Goblin Valley didn’t disappoint. Amazing stuff. Extra points because you […]
It had been a while since we visited the place where Ben proposed, so for our Friday date we headed up Mueller Park canyon to view the leaves and get some fresh air. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. I always love the time the hike gives us to walk and chat and check […]
Since we made the trip out to Green Murky Abyss Blue Lake, Utah for our open water scuba dive certification, we decided it might be fun to stop at the Bonneville Salt Flats since neither of us had ever been there. We were already pretty exhausted from a night of camping in Wendover and four […]
All summer, I’ve basically had one goal: to ride 100 miles on my bike in the Cache Valley Century. I was kind of nervous about the whole thing, especially after seeing how wrung out my dad and Ben were from the same ride last year, but we’d been riding quite a bit all summer so […]
Last Friday around noon, we headed down to Brian Head for the first ever Matheson family reunion. We took off a little early so we could enjoy the evening on our mountain bikes. The weather was positively perfect. Unfortunately, we quickly discovered we were in a little bit over our heads […]
If we’re not on the boat and we’re not at work, odds are good you’ll find us on some combination of the five bikes we keep around. Since Ben bought me my new mountain bike for Christmas, we’ve hit the trails a couple of times this year. I still have a long ways to go, […]
In terms of number of water ski trips, this summer has been a success. We spent a long weekend on Bear Lake and another couple of Saturdays on Echo Reservoir (our new local favorite) and we’ve had such a good time. Ben has come to his own on a water ski this year which […]
Congrats to Ben on finishing his computer engineering degree last Friday. (He won’t tell you this, but he even made the deans list.) I’m so proud of him and so excited to have him home a little more often. I love you Ben!
We bought our first home last month. We’re loving being here, working on our home together, and having a place to truly be ours. We so love it out here.
Recently we acquired this gem of a bike: And our evenings are now full of this: I live in the most beautiful place. With the most wonderful husband. I couldn’t be happier.
We went “cramping’ in Bear Lake over the 4th of July weekend. This is my family’s version of “roughing it.” The Matheson family cannot vacation without a ski boat, water skiis, a large dose of sarcasm, and about thirty pounds of junk food, and we were true to form this trip. My dad is […]
We made a quick trip out to Ohio over the weekend so that Ben could visit his extended family in Ohio (it’s been more than ten years!) and so that I could meet them. The rest of Ben’s family spent a little longer, but we decided to spend what time we could manage to get […]
