Lane and Brandi came to Utah! They came up with some friends, Monique and Kasey, and we went snowboarding up at Park City. The snow was great and I'm getting better at it. Lane and Brandi stayed with us for one night and got to see our new kitten. Any one else that wants to go snowboarding or skiing can come stay with us... without snowboarding and people coming to visit, the winter is 100% awful.  

This is our new kitten. Her name is Shima (short for Shima Shima which means stripes in Japanese.) So far she's been great! She stands on her hind legs all the time to look over furniture and to sniff our hands. She even get on just her hind legs and eats a treat out of my hand like a dog or something. Mitch picked her out because she liked guys for some reason and came to him when he called her right off the bat, so he couldn't say no. We'll keep her.
