the yurt {part one} : the night time adventures of a medical doctor, an engineer, a forest service ranger, a yogi/seven-months-with child, an EMT/Carpenter, an artist, a fashion designer, a physicist, a grad student, and a product designer

over the weekend we headed up to a yurt in our mountains with eight dear friends.

it's been a while since we've all had an over-nighter together, and a while since i've laughed so hard and so much!

the conversations went from environmental/political activism to questions {directed towards the scientists} about what would happen to a sandwich if you opened up a space shuttle window and left it in space to what's the weirdest thing our doctor friend has seen in the hospital to pregnancy and birthing.

and there was also a quick debate about what do to if you get bit by a rattlesnake...i like jack handy's suggestion best.

did i mention that our dear olivia made the 4.5 mile trek in on snowshoes while seven months pregnant?

she definitely wins the "hard core" award--especially since she had such a lovely glowing smile on the entire time.

there was also a couple of sweet games of speed scrabble. which resulted in more laughing.

so grateful to have friends who love to be in the mountains.

so grateful it finally snowed here after weeks of draught.

so grateful that i got to laugh my guts out.

so grateful that we have smart & talented friends who don't take themselves too seriously.

so grateful for high-calorie foods that filled my belly after our hike in on skis.

more of our trip {in the daylight} to come soon...

{p.s. thanks to holly jo for snapping a couple photos of me and ceej!}
