Pirates Always Finish Under Parrrgh!

Kristofer and I did the adventure golf circuit like champs and eventually happened upon our most favorite one. Pirate’s Island Adventure Golf at Guide Marker 8 was an excellent mix of visual stimulation as well as challenging golfing. It earned its five beard status of awesome early on. It was also the only course both of us managed to get holes-in-one on free game holes (designated holes along the course that earn you tokens for a free game). We were lulled into a false sense of grandeur after those holes only to be met with more dangerous ones on the second level.

The water features that we so appreciated for cooling purposes claimed my orange ball when I couldn’t launch it over the waterfall stream. I guess it was karma for me laughing at all the brightly colored bobbing balls when we started.

After a good laugh and a replacement ball, we continued through holes that had equally fun obstacles. Despite some of our bad shots we had the most fun on this course and amazingly finished with our best scores.

If you want to mini golf but are overwhelmed by the options, make the Pirate’s Island at Guide Marker 8 your stop. It’s worth it whether you lose your ball to Davey Jones’ locker or sink it for a free game pirate token!

We also went to Jungle Golf…read my post here!

First off, Happy St. Patty's Day my friends! I am indeed drinking after the kind of week we've had in the house hunting department. We've now seen over 18 houses. Monday was a trip downtown to the Avenues. If I were an SLC address I would be in the Avenues. It's eclectic, hip and full of puff people. It's also typically way out of our price range. So we were pretty amped to look at 2 houses that were. This was the nicer of the 2: We'll call it the "Graveyard Avenues" house from here on out. It was built in 1906 and like most houses in the area is going to need some work. Some of the work is cosmetic and other types are major like securing the foundation. These houses are just so old and are on hills that they need to be updated. BUT, a block away there are massively nice mansions. It's also a "regular sale" house which is fast becoming a really attractive quality when house hunting. After the Avenues, we went up over by the "Ne

"I rest my head between the bed and sky"

I'm constantly haunted by songs from my former life (or lives). They come on the radio on my way to the gym. They catch me by surprise when I'm lounging on the couch. They're in my head when I wake up some mornings. With a couple remembered/misremembered lines I'm back on a road trip, lying on a red bed under twinkle lights or in the Thunderdome. It makes my heart twinge a little at all the people I used to be in those moments. Then the music stops and I'm back in my present life thinking that soon today's songs will be tomorrow's ghosts.

With the exception of the obvious lifestyle overhaul that comes along with pregnancy, I feel blessed to have "coasted" through it. It really has been an easy go. That made me worried that while I was so preoccupied with work and getting ready to temporarily leave my 25 babies for our new one, I would miss the crazy nesting period. Instead I've pushed my normal laid-back self to the side in favor of doing tons of baby laundry, trying to get on top of all my own personal things that need to be taken care of, and wanting to clean...rather than sleep. The epitome of this mother-hen-ness was me in Home Depot on a Sunday night buying furniture moving blankets so Seth and I could swap the dressers in the front room and the baby nursery. Nesting during the week takes the form of being cranky about not being able to get to the vintage furniture store. We need a small bookshelf for Eileen. That's my mama mission for tomorrow. If I can finish decorating her room by tomorrow too
